I have had one for 4 years now I love it. read the thread he mentioned these guys have really rigged the boats up great.

you neglected to add the everstart battery from Wal-Mart i have used them on my TM and have had less problems from them then others.

had my raider for almost 5 yrs now and as jim said never had a problem with mine either just make sure their locked

you can put the screws in but then seal them with some good silicone, so that it wont leak into the poontoons

I have engraved all my stuff and taken pics of it so i know how to id it if it should get stolen. I hate to hear the stole ur gear cant stand a thief.

couldn't tell ya. I bought mine at Academy, then they gave me a break on buying the tm from them too

I bought my mount from johnny ray sports it mounts to the tm shaft and can use wing nuts with lock washers to make it where you can easily remove it if you want.

nope looks like a very good set up. but i would suggest a t/m mount for the transducer cause the plastic on these boats doesnt hold a screw well and if you hit a few stumps it will pull loose.

LoL lucky guy. dont know where to tell you to go fishing around there.

what part of oklahoma do you live in? I also have a 10e and love fishing out of it

thanks K-Mac good point you make

I have the same boat Tracy and I dont use the pre wired set up I have my battery and mototr in the back like you I just connect the motor wires to my battery.

nice boat, hope you catch a bunch

yeah you dont have to have a receipt to return the mettlesits the the house brand but its always better if you do

take the mettle back and get a new one they have a lifetime warranty

me and a buddy fish out of my 10E and it does real good not cramped at all and real stable. We have a battery n trolling motor n 2 tackle bags n cooler in mine at all times

I have had some of the other brands but seems liek the WalMart batteries hold up better on my trolling motor.

I have 3 of the mettle reels and a buddy that has the h20 rod both are great the reels have lifetime warranties and i have not had a problem out of mine had my reels probably 3 years now. I keep the clean and oiled. have fun

I have 4 of the BPS graphite series rods and never had a problem with them at all

got 2 of the mettles i have had for about 3 yrs now thier great reels for the money with lifetime warranties on them

they were one of the first companies out there to make the small boats. I had a bantam 3x back in the 90's i loved that thing it had a livewell bewteen the 2 seats

mallard drake if ur looking for a good way to mount your transducer i have suggestion that i used. I had drilled holes in my raider but they wont hold good. I went to johnny ray sports they sell a mount that bolts to the tm shaft i used wing nuts on mine and take it off when i want now and its close enough and sturdy enough ur not gonna break it.

I bought a tarp and tie down straps to cover mine so the weather doesnt get to my boat. the sun is worse than rain on these little boats. also for all those out there wondering where to buy them I just got my lastest bass pro sale paper and i see that they had the bass raider 10 e in it now.

get some of the shrink wrap connectors from a hardware store.
