    I have a 14 ft. Blue Fin with a 10 hp Honda. I plan to use it on small lakes and ponds. I think I would like to bow mount an electric trolling motor for maneuvering around. What would be the least thrust I should consider?

    Great Lakes Planers made these custom mounts for me a few years ago. Fits in standard track. Easily lifts off leaving only bottom portion of mount. Used standard Magma table.

    Saw this Friday (3/23) while putting out trail cams. An internet search suggests that sometimes it is caused by deer eating buckthorn berries in late winter. There are many buckthorn on this property. I tried eating one once. The taste was so bad I couldn't spit it out fast enough.

    I once had a similar situation. I cut a piece of plexiglass of the approximate same thickness and sealed it in with silicone.

    Bassin Bob, just a reminder. Be careful not to equate where you see the weights on the fishfinder with their actual depth. The fishfinder is measuring from the transducer to the weight ie. at the angle of the blowback. The only time the depth of the ball and the fishfinder reading are the same is with no blowback.. For example, it would not be unusual for the fishfinder to show 120 ft and the weight only be down 100 ft., at trolling speed. Of course the difference varies with boat speed, depth being fished, and size of the weight.

    Our Legislative VP says that neither yearling buck protection/antler restrictions nor any new crossbow provisions made it through in the budget that was just passed. The above is the response to a question I asked the NYSCC. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

    In NY, with a permit, there is a special provision (SHN 09-03) which allows weekend travel for boats up 10' width. https://www.dot.ny.gov/nypermits/repository/SHN09-03.pdf

    What kind of boat is it from?
  23. landingzone
    Not cheap! A quick check of my records showed EV200 AP was about $2500 and the Sea Star hydraulic steering system was about $1000, then install costs. That was in 2015. Hank (L&M) did the install for me (nice job). He probably could give you specifics for you application.

    Something to consider.... Under most circumstances, you will be trolling with one engine. If your boat is like mine, there is power steering assist on only one engine. To keep engine hrs. similar on both engines, you will likely troll about half of the time on each engine. This means that when using the non power assist engine to troll, you won't have power assist (unless you leave the other engine running). Without power assist, steering is possible but stiff. If using an AP in this application, it could be a heavy load for the AP. Converting to hydraulic steering eliminates these issues.

    What are the specifics of your 27'? Single engine or twins? I have a 27' with twin I/O's and I converted mine to hydraulic steering and then used a Raymarine EV200 autopilot. Works well.
