I had a similar issue with my 1988 Trophy Pro....stated getting codes on my 7" Evinrude screen telling me that the port Etec motor lost communication with the control head (electronic binnacle). After chasing down all the wrong possible causes it turned out to be my circa 1988 original battery...

As already mentioned, Boat type makes no difference to the fish. But here is a deadly combo I'd suggest: Stretch 25 or Nomad 220 on a 20 foot long 60 lb mono leader, tied to a 8 oz trolling drail, connected to 60 lb BRAID. (you need the braid to allow the rig to cut down into the water and run...

My SeaDek has been holding up great so far in the FlaDa sun (installed 12/1/2020). Fish blood or bait does not make any stains as long as you clean up the mess and hit it with the salt water wash-down....which you would do anyway even it there was no deck covering. The only issue is it's...

Duct Tape and Vice Grips....the first items I'd add.

Thanks guys, you saved me some work. Based on your comments I did a quick search and it seems that leaving the iPhone on the charger for an extended period after it has reached 100% does no harm. :)

Update: no interference with the Compass at all even though it’s mounted within 8” or so of it. The Scanscrut ROKK recharger works great with my iPhone SE, fast recharging, with great spring loaded “arms” on the mount that hold the phone securely in place even in rough seas. This is the one...

Doesn’t make sense. Your video proves that the trim motor WAS working and the ram didnt move in either direction. (I assume you were trying both the UP and DOWN buttons) So, a defective relay would have nothing to do with the ram moving or not, since it is an electrical component effecting...

Thanks guys, great answers! Amazon will be delivering my new Sanscrut ROKK charger in a couple of days, I will let you know if it affects my compass when it’s mounted on that console “shelf” on the port side of the steering wheel.

if so, how far away does it need to be? Thanks for your input!

We were at Barcardi area on Friday 7/15, left dock at 2 AM, trolled in the area from false light to 2 PM. Whales, dolphin, tuna chicks, shearwaters, lotsa life in the area...but only 2 knockdowns for us, 1 of which was lost (along with a $120 wide tracker and 100 yds of line) immediately due to...

YFT are close at Little Italy and vicinity right now. Try trolling with wide trackers or jigging if the marks are deep. 50 pound class fish were caught yesterday by my buddies who left on another boat. I was on the way out at 4 AM yesterday (7/17) on a friend's boat and had a motor quit on us at...

Air locked? Put a freshwater hose onto the end of the saltwater hose outlet and flush it backwards under pressure. Then try it again and see it it works normally...

He can bring it to your driveway y'know....

"She looks so much better naked" (without stripes)

I see you are in Florida, dunno where, but if you are anywhere near Miami or Ft. Lauderdale, call Luis Costa at 305 219 1784. Costa Oil has a fleet of fuel delivery trucks that will bring Rec90 right to your dock for the BEST price around. (minimum 100 gallons)

Just replace the broken pin with a bolt....

Etec G2's, Garmin Autopilot, Pro Fish Windlass. Etecs for dependability, torque and power WITH economy. Garmin Autopilot for solo troll patterns, ability to concentrate on finding fish instead of constantly checking navigation and fuel economy (less gas is wasted when you run a straight line...

You are talking about BIG Bluefin, right? There is NO WAY you are going to "land" him off the gunnels either. You are going to have to fight him until he is tired enough to get him CLOSE to the stern, then hand-line the leader and the fish up along side the boat close enough to either gaff or...

The rod swivels in the holder right? So, use your steering wheel and motors to help the angler fight the fish by keeping the rod pointed OVER THE STERN, not out over the Stbd side. There won't be as much stress on the gunnel when the force is applied lengthwise as opposed to sideways....

Try this: Swap the fuel lines that go to your motors coming out of the fuel selector valves. So, now when the selector says "aux", its actually fuel from main, and when its says "main", its actually fuel from aux. If the problem now occurs when using the "aux" position and now doesn't happen...
