Thanks FF I think the Group27 will do the job. What make/brand did you get? What was the CCA? Rick

motor is a 115 E Tech I am thinking of putting in a Group 29 Deep Cyclem Which should give me lots of CCA and AH

Boat has three batteries two for the MinnKota and one for starting and running the electronics. Bilge pump,livewell pumps,lights and graph/GPS Could or should I use a Deep Cycle here or a combo Deep Cycle/Cranking battery. What is the difference between a deepcycle and adeepcycle/cranking battery? Thanks Rick

I am not the sharpest tool in the Shed when it comes to wiring!! LOL Anyway. Now that I sold the powerdrive I am changing to a Terrova, 80 Lbs 24 Volts. I have a Marinco 12/24 Volt Plug and Receptacle. On the Plug there are 3 terminals 12V, 24V and -, So do I connect Red(Pos) to 24V and Black(Neg) to -? I have also read to tighten the 12V. On the Receptacle there are 4 terminals A-,A+,B-,B+ Do I connect the Red(Pos) from Batt A to A+ and Black (Neg) to A-? And Red(Pos) from Batt B to B+ and Black(Neg) to B-? Thanks Rick

It has been 'out' since late last summer but just available to the public for about 2 months. Rick

Great info I was a little concerned about Rain as was Skeeter, But you guys cleared that up. So looks like an auto as I do Fish alone at times. Rick

Recommendations? Auto/Manual? Brand? Thanks Rick

Hey Terry Good for you for letting them know the error of their ways! And Good for them for listening! Rick

Roy Not that is "Funny" LOL Rick

The Adams St and the 25th SdRd is just south of IBP and yesterday this was ALL Wide open. I guess that could be where the Fire Dept caught up to them and they actually started their drift off the Sixth. Rick

West side of Simcoe from Innisfil Beach Park to the Islands and up to Oro appears to be Ice free. Rick

Sunday the Ice was black, Sunday Temp +16'C Monday Temp + 16'C Tuesday Temp +12'C After last nights major rain there is zero water on top and the ice is white and Very Porous looking. You figure it out from there!!! Rick

Been Fishing from Gilford to Little Cedar to the PumpHouse to Roches this week. Where I have drilled Holes 12" Ice in the Gilford area to 8-10 up at Little Cedar Which is the first point North of Lefroy. Starting to get some slush spots, more so in the Roches Point area. not too deep maybe 8" you shouldn't get stuck but it will slow you down! Lots of Fish but LOTS of Dinks. Always find enough for a meal. Slab Grabber, Forage minnow and the Bug doing the catching. Rick

Ryan As these Herring in Simcoe, are getting big, at least long and skinny, to what I remember. I would think a 15-20lb Laker would likely have no problem taking one down, but what about the smaller 4-8Lb Laker would He still tackle a 20" Herring? You said their Life Cycle is about 6 years. How long does it take them to get full size say 20"? I am guessing they grow fast. Rick

Lunatic I have a Minnkota 8 months old for sale. you have a PM

HH It is +4'C here in Gilford but no rain, So I would think the Ice will still be snow covered on Sat. Have Fun Rick

Hi Doug Looks like Matt has fixed you up But if you need another one I have a Otter but no tow bar. Rick

While on the Subject of Trolling Motors Rob I agrree with the others re 60" you can adjust it as short as you want. Question I bought a boat package last year with a Power Drive 54" shaft 55 Lbs thrust 12 Volt. I put in a second 12 volt battery and I want to add ipilot. Would you recommend just adding ipilot to the current PD Or Upgrade to something that has ipilot,24Volt, Built in Transducer, more thrust. I could use a little more thrust as it is on a 17' aluminum with full windshield. Thanks Rick

LTF You have a PM Rick

Thanks Dan

Anyone fish Mistinikon Lake or the Montreal River in the Matatchewan area??

Is it worth waiting to get the Gen2?

Thats a good plan, Once you are set up you can always use it as your base camp and do some running from there. Rick

You guys are doing a Great Job!! It won't take much to heat with all the insulation, Where are you going to put it? once we get Ice. Rick

Go with the Gen 2
