You're definitely right Stratos. But, with the fishfinder/GPS, they're going to rot away in my basement if I don't use them. When I bought my big rig, the the units were already on it. they were both ...

Thanks Danny. My motor is at least ten years old. Here's what it looks like with the head removed. I guess its that brass screw? I'll give it a shot tonight.http://www.mafishfinder.com/users/b/brewste ...

Well I gave a good look over of my motor when I got from home from work. There is no screw on the back of the Motorguide. Don't know if dis-assembling the head unit will unveil anything else. I'm not ...

I tried on the transom-mounted TM on the bow, and figured out where I'd need to sit to comfortably steer. I will have to move up the seat by about 1/2 a foot, but I think I'm going to go with it. Ques ...

Thanks Stratos. I have the aluminum poles for the floor, and for the rear seat. I don't have the seat or hardware for the front. I'm debating about whether or not to go with a transom mount hand-contr ...

Took advantage of the non-freezing temps and pressure washed the boat inside and out. I'm ready to start some work tomorrow. I'm thinking floating floor. Also, thinking about just using two coolers as ...

Thanks. I will.

Also, we already know that the micro pole is widely used on small craft. No issues that I know of. The Talon deploys the same way the micro pole deploys, straight down. I will definitely be sitting do ...

Interesting point. I've got Talons on my big rig, and I'm kind of used to how the deploy. They're different then power poles. They go straight down, not like the sort-of hook motion of the power poles ...

According to Mercury's website, a 6 horse four-stroke weighs 57lbs.

According to Minnkota's website an 8ft Talon weighs 38lbs.

Well, I've got the Crawdad, and I've got all of the accessories. I'm going to give it a shot, and try to put a good boat back into use. The bottom line is that I got a lot of years of use out of that ...

Thanks. I will only be running a 12 volt trolling motor. The choices are a 40lb thrust Minnkota Power Drive, or a 52lb thrust Motorguide hand-controlled. I have also thought about using both, with the ...

I am aware of the micro pole. I think it prices out around six hundred bucks. I'd like to try the Talon because I have it, rather than trying to sell it later. I don't care if it looks weird if it wor ...

I finally got rid of my waterlogged Pelican, and have decided to reclaim my Crawdad that sat by the side of my house for several years. Many years ago I inserted a full floor, and went totally overboa ...
