  1. What kind of tires only require 33 # of air pressure?
  2. If I were depending on ffs then Garmin would be my way. If side scan is most important then Humminbird. I don’t have any current experience with Lowrance so I wouldn’t go that way without research. When I had them 2d was the best available. I am running a one boat Humminbird network with 3 Solix, Minn Kota trolling motor and Mega live.
  3. War Eagle Firecracker
  4. You should be able to figure out the age by the vin number.
  5. I don’t sing on the water and if the guy in the back does he is jeprodising a return invite. I don’t need the distraction.
  6. Boat positioning is the most important aspect of fishing for me. Fishing into the wind makes boat control easier. Once you get the boat where you want it keep it there with the trolling motor. A good mapping card in a front sonar is a must.
  7. I don’t use it often enough to know what it was like before. I ordered jigs and trailers from them with no issues. They came yesterday.
  8. Check out the Millennium seats. I have a bad back and bad knees. I switched to them a couple of years ago and they are great. Get the one with adjustable straps not the cables. https://www.amazon.com/Millennium-Marine-B100-Boat-Seat/dp/B00JRHSMJS/ref=asc_df_B00JRHSMJS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241933247445&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15838784006872156653&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1020569&hvtargid=pla-450938569625&psc=1
  9. It won’t matter what paddle you get. It will be next to worthless trying to move that boat very far. Store the number of friends, neighbors or marinas if those on your part of the lake have regular hours and rat hole a C note to cover towing.
  10. I think you need some research. Kelly Power told me that Johnny Morris had the Champion molds destroyed. He also told me that he and the Charger guy got hold of a Champion 210, cut it up and used it to build molds for the Charger 210 Elite. That was when he and I were going to the plant to have a look at their progress.
  11. I am concerned that there is some kind of a problem. In the past it was indicative of a cranking battery problem that is why I bought a new X2 after the first time it happened. It didn’t fix it so I had the wiring replaced. I want to get it run down and fixed.
  12. Now that’s a collection bulldog.
  13. It just came back from a full diagnosis at the shop where I have all of my work done. They couldn’t find anything. The power cord change is Humminbird’s idea.
  14. The voltage shows 13+ when the outboard is on. The battery is always fully charged. I plug it in even before I fully unhook the boat. I don’t know how to do any of that.
  15. TB that is the only issue thus far. It was flawless until about a month ago. Like I said I thought it was the battery and bought a new one.
  16. I have a Humminbird Gen 2 Solix 10 in the console of my boat. It has been there 4 or 5 years. My motor is a 250 Mercury Verado. The cranking battery is an 1150 cca X2. Hooked to the battery is the Solix, running lights, pumps, Ethernet hub and a 12 outlet. About a month ago my Solix would shoe 11 volts after a stop to fish for even 15 minutes. Once it shut down when I started the motor so I figured it was cranking battery time. I bought a new X2 and nothing changed. I had the Solix wired directly to the battery hoping that would solve the problem but it didn’t. I was advised that it could be the alternative or voltage regulator so I had them checked. They are good. I have one last idea which is to put a new power cord on the Solix. If that doesn’t work then I’m out of ideas. Anyone have suggestions?
  17. That is more than reasonable. I had my Verado oil and filter changed, both of my fuel filters, my lower unit serviced and walked away a bit over $400 poorer.
  18. Why not call Minn Kota customer support and ask your questions. They are really helpful folks.
  19. More likely than not.
  20. There is Ipilot and Ipilot link. Take the time to research them before you go spending hard earned cash. I bought Ipilot it very unsatisfactory. It cost me $800 to upgrade to link on my Ulterra.
  21. It is common to go 50-60’ deep around here. Bass and walleye don’t really get the bends.
  22. Installing later is quite expensive.
  23. I’ve owned Champion, Ranger and Nitro. I’ve also fished lots of hours in a Bass Cat. I have a Nitro now but it isn’t as good as my Champion was or the Bass Cat that my friend had. Champion was better built than Ranger while Genmar owned both but Irwin Jacobs put way more money into Ranger advertising than Champion because of the profit margin. When John L. Morris bought both companies he destroyed the Champion molds. I can’t honestly say which is the best because I only fish from my Nitro and a friend’s Phoenix. If I were in the market for a new boat I would devote some serious time studying the Phoenix. The actual boat isn’t as important as the electronics and the trolling motor.
