minn kota powerdrive v2 battery questions
I am planning on buying all new batteries for the trolling motor and maybe a new cranking battery. I believe the batteries are close to original to the boat so they would be around 7 years old so they are due for replacement. So I could run 2 group 31 deep cycle batteries for my trolling motor? Sorry for asking so many questions but the help is very appreciated.

minn kota powerdrive v2 battery questions
Hi guys, I bought a boat this spring with a minn kota powerdrive v2 55lb and it is run on a 12v system with only one battery. After doing some research I found that the powerdrive is only a 12v system I have been wanting to add another battery so I can have more power throughout the day I tend to run the battery down in 5 hours of fishing with it on 10 most of the time. This doesn't have to be a long term fix just to get me through this upcoming season then I will be upgrading. If you have any ideas how to run a 24v system with this trolling motor please let me know.

Lund Rebel 1625 xl
So I bought my first boat its a 2012 Lund 1625 rebel xl with a 60hp mercury with 12 hours. currently it has a Minn Kota power drive V2 on it. The main problem I have with this trolling motor is the foot pedal. Can I buy a new foot pedal and keep the motor? Another thing I wanna add is A Ultrex 80lb I understand that is a huge motor for a little boat but I want the accessories that it comes with. I also wanna get a nice set of graphs on the boat. Looking at dual Helix 7's to start both of ram mounts so I can move them and take them off. Keep in mind I am a 14-year-old who worked hard to buy the boat not given to me. That is the main reason I went with this boat is that i have fished tournaments for 2 years as a Co and I wanna learn to fish them as a Boater. Looking for advice,Thank you for the help

6th Sense Crankbaits
I have fished both but exactly what Tyler said the Md/DD series is the older version and the cloud series is the newer version. Both work very well they each hit some different depth ranges I think that the MD/DD series is a little bit bigger baits but I enjoy fishing the 250Md A lot and same with the cloud 9 c15.

fish with anyone
If you could spend a day fishing with any persons who would it be? I know my choice is Brandon Pauliniuk he is someone I have wanted to fish with for the longest time.

Shimano experience
This is an extremely late response but Shimano corrected themselves and sent a brand new curado 201kxg.

Biwaa Ultra Hog
I agree with you In the fact of prerigging rods, I have a rod locker full of rigged rods I just don't think leaves plastics rigged in boxes. I don't find that useful and time efficient

Biwaa Ultra Hog
I have bought some and they are alright I think I flipped em once and took it off and went to a D Bomb. I see no purpose in having baits pre-rigged Because I have way too many baits to do that It would end up a huge mess. The snap just is another weak link and I retie a good amount anyways cause I'm normally fishing for money. That's what I take out of all this.

Hardbaits - 6th sense jigs - dirty jigs plastics - I fish rage tail products alot but also like some zoom, Berkely and missle stuff I think that every company has a bait that they make really well

9-10 foot Flippin' rods
I can see what you are thinking and I flip a lot of milfoil and other grass But i have a 744 champion that can do most of it and a 7,6 heavy cashion that does the rest but I think that fliiping isnt a struggle to get the fish out if you set the hook hard enough and if you just winch em in. I personally never see myself using that big of a rod becuase The tournemnts I fish their is no nets so I would have the rod so far behind me to be able to lip or belly grab the fish.

Smoke S3 or Revo ALX

Favorite 1.5 Shallow Diving Crank ?

Shimano experience
This winter I purchased a shimano 201kxg I started fishing with it in march and after about a months use. The gears started to grind very badly and I made a post about it back then. I sent it to Thorne Bros a Authorized Shimano reel maintenance center. I heard nothing from the company for months I called them many times. finally They answered the phone and told me the reel was gonna be a bit longer. I called back a week after They said the reel was fixed and they replaced the pinion and drive gear. They sent it back and when it returned I took it out and 4th cast I had a fish bite I set the hook and the reel free spooled when the drag was tightened. When you would try to tightened the drag it would continue to spin and would not get tighter. I sent it to Shimano's reel repair center like I was told and I haven't heard back sense. Doesn't this seem a bit not exceptable I have only been able to fish with a reel for a month out of the 8 months I Have owned the Reel?
