Shellback

The main reason I went with a fixed mount is the screen size. If the unit has any mapping abilities, I'd think they'd be pretty hard to interpret on a small screen. You'd be zooming in and out trying to make heads or tails of where you're at.

That's true, Some camofloge stands out like a sore thumb to me.

Holy Crap! There's no word if anybody got hurt seriously or not, but the trauma of it's blood and innards blowing thru the car is enough to freak anyone out. Looks like the liver in the backseat, and the heart all the way back. Hopefully the air bag went off and kept the driver safe.

Any other folks out there that are color blind? I read about the hot spoons or flies, go out and buy them, but once they are out of the package, I'm friggen LOST! I could have every manufacturers chart in front of me, and probably still couldn't match most of them up if I have my stuff laid out in front of me. My color perception's pretty bad, you know those single blinking traffic lights, red one way and yellow the other? I gotta ask who's riding shotgun what color they are, or slow down to see what the other folks are doing. I was that kid in grade school who water colored the grass brown and the sky purple. WTF, it looked good to me! Oh, I try saving the packages and keeping things together, but if you have a couple folks on the boat changing baits and stuff, that plan goes to h*ll in a short time. For me, there's 3 basic colors, One is anything blue, purple etc. Two is anything red, orange, yellow, etc. Three is anything in the brown or green spectrum. So if there's any other color blind folks out there, what's your solution. PS If you ever see a 2002 Dodge Quadcab, the color Granite, (they told me so at the dealers), bearing down on you at a blinking light, give me plenty of room! LOL!

Glad to hear you got the problem resolved. I've always had good experiences dealing with MinnKota. I hope their authorized service center gets the axe!

Thanks for all the hard work, it's a shame someone has to get their jolly's off by screwing up a website that they probably have no interest in, whether pro or con. The new look and extra forms are great!

Me too, on a Merc I/O and the cutout switch when shifting into gear. If I remember correctly, it was just when shifting into reverse. I think it was just an adjustment needed. Probably a fast way to check it would to just run a hot wire directly to the coil and see if she stays running when you shift it into gear. Or use a test light and see if you lose power to the coil when you shift it.
