My new trolling motor had a one time pin to pull. Check early in the manual to make sure there is not one on yours

Tippy? My 188 is not tippy at all even being smaller. Cant speak to depth of compartments i do not know the express setup but the 188 holds all my crap with room to spare. Bet if you asked the Ranger guy he would say no comparison the other way. Both are nice boats, probably best to take a direct look at each.

Its fake virus notification or you have won a prize type junk.

Okay...was worth a shot. Will look for a auto one that fits in my rt188. Some have a longer float arm that does not look like they will fit.

My boat does not have an automatic bilge pump so need to switch it out before I go on multiple day trips. Was watching a fishing show were they talked about some which are cartridge based, it if fails you just replace the cartridge not the whole unit, this is a pretty good advantage. However, I am not having any luck finding them online. Anyone got any ideas on where to find them and/or suggested model?

Sounds like the brushes in the motor are worn out.

Fortunately everyone is okay, but the wreck was massive. Engine and rear tires broke away.

Just my normal heads up, June 3rd is my clubs first tourney at Black Hills for the year. Will be around 18-20 boats going in and out, ramp will get a little busy.....

Go with the Ultrex, cable steering with electric power assist. Get all the spot lock and other options of electric with the control and ease of cable steer.

Do you know any kind of information on what stage they are in, water temps, etc......

For a tiny bird they make their presence known. But yeah, hard to find a better way to start the day then a cup of coffee on the front porch listening to them and the other birds watching the sunrise. My wife would add watching the horses too.

Never did a multiple day festival, closest I came was a Rock Allegiance just south of Philly in 2015. 3 stage all day affair, had a great time.

Currently have a Minn Kota Maxx 70 on my 2015 RT188, have an Ultrex 80 on the way. Being new to this wanted to get anyones thoughts on mistakes to avoid, items to get before hand, or any other tips on making this change. It does not have Link so no need for setting up connection to the HB units, just the trolling motor and directional puck.

Ha ha....well... the name potentially will be "Chics dig it Commando" Grandfather is Smart Chic Olena and father is my wifes stallion Commandalena. Our first to follow the commando name and a few of her clients did the same.

She took her time, about a week and a half past due but this morning we have a new foal.

My wife and I bought a buy-back pony at the Chicoteague auction in 2013, this is a picture of her and her foal this year.

check out the sticky in this forum "how to cast a baitcaster" good info in there. Suggest not worrying about distance at first. Go for consistant cast, be smooth in the motion, start with 3/8 or 1/2oz weight at first. Practice practice practice

Its interesting when someone post a question on a forum asking for peoples thoughts and opinions. Then some get mad at the answers provided from people who have been in the situation. It is up to the OP to decide what advise he wants to take but he had to be aware ditching her was going to be option advised.

Basically the idea is to not make everyone stop, keep moving. If another car is in the circle adjust to come in behind them, if several cars you may have to stop. Once in the circle you have right of way, do not stop in the circle because someone else is approaching it. Stay in your lane as you go thru it, see so many people cutting the corners off and using both lanes.

Things change sometimes hour to hour, a change in weather can really force you to adjust. With the conditions you describe i would figure the moved tight to cover and got lockjaw.

I will be happy if they would teach people how to go thru a round-a-bout....its not that hard.

they are not terrible but I had better luck inside the park area itself. Still a lot of foot traffic along there. there are a other lots to park in along the road close to those coves.

Morning cup of coffee view

You are not responsible for her happiness, or finding her a hobby. Giving you grief because you want some time to be yourself is a huge red flag, you are not even married and she is already doing it. Think what it would be like married and with a kid. You are young there are plenty of good women out there. Can it be saved, possibly, but do not make yourself miserable to please anyone.
