  1. Pam a solar charger will do very little to charge a trolling motor battery. They are meant to keep a battery topped up. If you wear your battery down and try to recharge in a 24 hour period it will not be enough. He would be better to put a small on board charger in or use a normal trickle charger after each use.

  2. I was on my way to work yesterday and for the first time in my life I got to see a wild Bald Eagle soaring above. Had to stop and watch for a minute. What a beautiful bird. I know there has been a nesting pair in the area the last three or four years but this is the first time I managed to see one of them. I think I may take my son to their nesting area with the binoculars and see if we can see them this weekend.

  3. I bought an Eagle fishstrike 2000 last year and love it. I see a lot of guys buying the Lowrance models. My question is what made you buy Lowrance if there was a comparable Eagle product, as the Lowrance units are usually a couple hundred $ more. I know about NEMA 2000 but I don't think that is an issue for most of our smaller fishing boats. I am asking because I want to add a fish finder to my bow mount this year and I am trying to decide on model. Do any of you have suggestions for a colour FF for the bow and will I have interference issues with my main unit.

  4. If you use the method Percher recommended be careful you can damage pieces, it does work just be diligent. As Smokey said I too would recommend replacing the seals after removal they are very inexpensive. If you decide to replace the bearings keep the old set with the tools you carry when your trailering as back-up in case of an emergency failure. If you have never done it before have some one who has show you how to properly repack the bearings or do some searching on the net for a tutorial.
