    Older cannon power cables

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    I am buying older cannons mag 10s with black quick disconnects... Anyone have the female piece from plug to battery? I checked around for new and cannon wants to gouge you for an upgrade of 60 bucks a piece!!!

    Any other thoughts on how to rig to battery?

    Gents, just a FYI they have a new camera called "Drop Cam" cost around 150 bucks works off Wi-Fi and stores video for up to seven days on your PC you can also watch live feed or get alerts of movement on your cell phone. I have one set up at my house and if a cloud comes over and darkens the sky I get an alert. If your boat is parked near your house set it up in a window facing it, it won't stop them from getting your stuff but you will have a video of the Ba$turds taking it. Need 120volt source and Wi-Fi for it to work though.

    Sorry for your lost of equipment and I hope they catch the scum-bags!!!!!!!!!

    i was searching for some rates on boat loans and yes i am a 800 plus credit score and i was able to receive rates under 6% which in the grand scheme of things wasnt to bad at all. I elected not to borrow and bought a couple year older boat and paid cash ;)

    I do have a straight ball and hitch with no drop. Check out the pics of the back of the boat. I do have some adjustment fwd if needed.post-140411-14076022793129_thumb.jpg

    Also see on the last roller I do have a slot I could move it up but would that scrape anything with out having a roller in the last 6 inches?

    trailer tongue weight

    in This Old Boat

    Posted · Edited by salmonite

    so i just bought a new boat and its bigger than my old boat but i had a few questions about the trailer. First It trailers pretty good little more sway than i thought but barely and i mean barely an issue. One thing i did notice is that i can just pick the boat trailer up at the tongue and tip it back like its nothing, I mean one hand! Is this an issue? Should i have more weight on the tongue? Is this whats causing the sway or bounce in the boat during trailering? My old boat which was 3 feet shorter and probably a 1k pounds was a struggle for me to lift so thought i would ask the question.

     

    Second thing is how would i shift more weight to the tongue? do i move the whole pedestal and then move the contact point of the boat lower? or raise the contact point. Right now the last roller sits perfect at the very edge of transom.  I am trying to think it out in my head but just cant wrap my head around it.

     

    Thanks

     

     

    fyi... 2001 fishmaster and 2001 starcraft roller trailer
