Ah. Sounds like automatic bs. lol. They say bullet resistant vests need to be changed each year bc of breakdown from sun and sweat. Do we ever change seat belts for the same reason? No.

$60-$80 for the CO2 cartridge only? Are these the same ones used in paintball guns that are $8 a piece?

I emailed Stratos twice and haven't heard from them. I also emailed a Stratos dealer and haven't heard from them either. Do you know the exact name of the cover? I looked for a Ranger one too and couldn't find it when I looked. I haven't been able to find one in my searches for Stratos either. Maybe a Ranger cover would fit in the Stratos recessed tray.

Where did you get them for that price? And how long do these PFDs last?

You spray bleach and water on the outside of your motor and it doesn't harm it? What is the ratio of water to bleach?

How long are these good for?

Congrats! Pics later.

As the title states, what are new lures to you, that you've never used before that you bought and still haven't used? I know that I have swivel headed jigs and some Z-man craws that I've never used.

I don't think it would work well on grass either.

I know some folks don't keep fish but for those that do, how often do you clean your boats livewell and how do you clean it?

Good idea. It's gotten so crazy police departments let people do CL exchanges at the precinct for people's safety.

Thx.

I'd have to ship it to someone, wouldn't that get awfully expensive? What word did you have that got blurred out?

I have a 3 year old used Minn Kota Fortrex that I don't need anymore. I will also most likely be getting a new Ulterra if I'm lucky and will need to sell the Terrova that it is replacing also. I checked Craigslist and didn't see any for sale which makes me think that people aren't selling their used ones there. Where are they selling them? Marine Dealerships? I've seen a few for sale at one or two dealerships. Is selling one to a Marine dealership usually a rip-off? Where's the best place to sell used trolling motors?

What does 'cut and plug it' mean?

Could this happen with the MK quick detach mount? Because if that's the case I'd rather mount it directly to the boat. If not, I can see how a quick release mount would be nice if I had to take it off for repair.

Thanks. I emailed Stratos. Awaiting their reply.

Exactly!

I have a 2014 Stratos VLO with the factory manufactured recessed trolling motor foot pedal compartment. This is good for cable driven TMs, but not for electric ones like the Minn Kota Terrova or Ulterra that have the small directional/power buttons on the end of the footpedal. I use the small back buttons to control my Terrova because I find the foot pedal so much harder to use. I am short, and have small feet, so using the foot pedal is almost impossible. If it wasn't for Minn Kota's awesome foot pedal design with the small directional buttons and thrust button I wouldn't be able to use a TM. The issue is if I put my Terrova's foot pedal in the compartment the smaller buttons are below the deck of the boat and can't be used. I ended up putting 2 pieces of 2x8' to lift the foot pedal enough to make it work. It works, but I was wondering if there was a more sophisticated solution to the problem. I searched the internet and didn't find anything. Do any boat manufacturers or aftermarket companies make a Trolling Motor Foot Pedal recess cover so that it makes the recessed compartment flush with the rest of the deck?

To add this gauge do I need to cut a hole in my dash?

Sorry, I should have been more specific, I meant this: So, when you are going WOT vs. idle, the pressure will drop more because you are making the engine go faster?

You mean when you are going faster or just when water starts coming out?

Nice looking boat! Have fun!

How is the latter digital pressure gauge install different?

You run the other end into the motor somehow?
