Minn kota edge battery?
The size will depend on how you use it. I recommend size 27 or larger. Be sure it is a deep cycle not a cranking battery. Reserve capacity is the key to how long it will last on a trip.

I’d love a new truck, but...
My backup truck is a 2001 Chevy 2500. It is backup for three generations and gets about 1000 miles per year. I bought it 20 years ago and have no plans to replace it.

Deep or Shallow, how do you decide?
It depends on how early I get on the water. If real early I use a spinner bait and fish shallow. Otherwise I set out in deep water, cast toward shallow and fish back to deep trying to get bites and determine the depth range.

Water spots
I use hydrochloric acid on my motor. The cheapest is toilet bowl cleaner. I normally use Purekleen.

Replacing my cranking battery
Lithium may not work with a charger of that age. If not then the North Star X2 is probably your best choice. Batteries +bulbs carries it under their label. That is what I had to go to to make it all day.

Squirrel at 43.9 yards with BB gun
Way to go sir. I haven’t used mine in years. It came with no sights. I taught my grandson how to shoot instinctively. I may have done it too well. He turned out to be a swat sniper.

Need help with stern light
Don’t know about that but most stern light malfunctioning is some type of corrosion instead of a bad bulb. Are you sure the bulb is bad.

New Boat Help
Be sure to get electronics that are compatible with the trolling motor that you chose, because of the extra functions that are available.

Which new Trolling Motor
MK links HB. MG links Low. Better check out the Garmin tm. I like at least a 45” shaft.

Super glue?
I always have 2 bottles of super glue gel in the boat. One for use every trip and the other one in the glove box (new unopened) as a backup when the regular one is empty. If you close it immediately after use it will last a long time.

Tow a 2,960lbs boat with a vehicle that has a 3,500lbs. tow rating?
The issue is braking. If your trailer doesn’t have brakes it will be sketchy.
