Trolling Motor Battery
I have the Walmart Everstart in my 18' Lowe. 2 for the trolling motor. I can troll most of 3 days on one charge. Most of the time an 8 hour day they are still 85 to 90% left.

Running a trolling motor with 2 different sized batteries
I have a 27 and 29 in my Lowe because of space. At the end of 8 hours of fishing the 29 is down 15% and the 27 10%

What can I fit in my garage?
A 16' boat with a swing away tongue would be all you could get in it. My Lowe is 17'.10'' and will not go in my 24' shop, it would if it had a swing away tongue.

How much do you spend on tackle?
About 6,200 the last 3.5 years. But I sold the boat and tackle in 2001 and started over again 3.5 years ago. Add a used boat over 12,000 the last 3.5 years.

Modifying your boat's Rod Locker?
I think if you look close he did not glue them. But silicone would work. If it was me I would trash the hole thing and have a more usable rod locker.

Modifying your boat's Rod Locker?
Your not looking for a P-trap it's The Tail Pipe for a P-trap. They come in different lengths.

Modifying your boat's Rod Locker?
The pipe he used is 1''1/2 tail pipe that drops down from a S-trap or P-trap in your kitchen sink. He would have used a 1''1/2 hole saw to drill the holes. The tail pipe has a flange on it that he butted up against the holes he drilled.

RPM Question
When I took it out yesterday. If I brought it up to 5500 on the tack it didn't sound like it was turning any RPM's. I think the tack is off. But need to know. Until I can find out just not going to let it go over 5500. Thanks for the help!

RPM Question
Anyone know max. RPM on a 2001 Johnson 90hp. Was turning 5800 to 5900 I looked down at the tack Friday night and it was 6300 so I backed out of the throttle. When I came to a stop at idle it was 900rpm. That seams high to me too. Its on a Lowe 180W, the prop is a 14x17. Going back out tomorrow morning to see what it does. If it's the same then going to the boat shop next.

Help me with these issues with my new Stratos 186VLO
I have a Lowe 180W with a 90h Johnson. The pick up for the speedometer is built in to the lower unit. On a slow day it says 43 and on a good day 45. My old Tracker Tournament TX with 60h was the same speed, but I fill like the Lowe is faster.

If the speedometer's are off, is the boat slower or faster then it is saying?

Boat's At Night & No Running Light's
Tonight was a little on the scary side. Seen two bass boats all but hit head on. The one was running across the lake with no lights. About and hour latter I all but ran over a kid in a kayak out in the middle of the lake. He got a light on just in time for me to turn hard right and miss him.

Minimum length for Bass Boat for 2 people?
Have fished 3 out of 14' it was a little close. 16' would be as short as I would go. Lots of room for 3 in my 18' Lowe 180W.

Dual Pro Chargers?
Thanks for the info. Going with the Dual Pro Sportsman 3 bank 10A per bank if it will fit in my 2002 Lowe 180w. Very little room for one in that boat.

Dual Pro Chargers?
What's the difference between the Real Pro Series Dual Pro and the Recreation Series Dual Pro. The Real Pro is more money for a reason. What is it? The Recreation Series 3 bank is 53$ less, but should I give the 53$ more for the 3 bank Real Pro Series?

Color ?
Color does matter. On days I can not get bit. After 2 or 3 hours of changing colors. I but the Color-C-Lector in the water then the bite is on. I have colors that I would have never used if not for the Color-C-Lector. Works every time.

Water Pump?

Water Pump?
How often should you replace the water pump in an out board? Just got a Lowe 180W with a Johnson 90. He said he put one in it 2 years ago.
