    All good thoughts. Still undecided. I am looking for at least 120ah a on a 24v. The lead acids get heavy. But, is it worth the change, still debating.

    Gator, thanks for the response. Weight is what started me thinking about this. Thanks for your reply. Dave

    Good Day, I am liking everything about the Dakota 24v 110ah lithium battery for my Minn Kota 80 but the price. Is $1500 with an additional $150 for the 20a charger worth it? I know, you get what you pay for. Thought I would ask for feedback before pulling the trigger. I see the 11 year warranty, that’s nice. And the BMS looks like it would cover everything I do with it. Just almost 2x some of the others. Anyone running Dakota Lithium? Thanks for your time, Dave

    Good Morning, just cleaning up the boat and saw my grippers. I have not been happy with the few different brands I have tried, with and without scale. Does anyone have a good pair with a scale that will work for more then one season? Simple question, but I am having no luck with my choices. Thanks for your thoughts, Dave

    Les, still using the old 20lb flea flicker from Cortland on my DR's. Been on there for 15 years, just before they stopped making it. Every time I go to change it out, I just can't bring myself to taking it off. Still works!!

    I have an 80/24v. Currently have two lead acids but am going lithium for weight. Works fine for trolling with the 9.9 for direction, and for speed changes on calm days. 72” is a must.

    I will be putting more time in with loaded gear shortly

    Performance tabs seem to do the trick. Only have a few hours on them but there is a noticeable improvement

    Thanks for the reply. I am leaning towards Lithium because of the weight savings. Still researching. But if I stay with lead acid, these look very good.

    Just curious, how many entries this year?

    Update: Smokercraft has recommended trim tabs. Electric units will not fit with the swim ladder and current kicker location. Second choice are performance tabs. They are currently being installed by the dealership. Do I have a hook in the hull? How does that occur with a new boat? Trailering? Does StarCraft repair hooks in the factory? Any thoughts welcome, Dave

    I have my eye on a pair of VMax MR 137 120ah group 31 AGM batteries for my Terrova 80. Anyone using these bug chance? Thanks for the responses, Dave

    I haven’t been at the boat since this picture. Are you going to take the covers off and take a look?
  19. Netbender
    Trout hunter- Amen to that. I have a place on Keuka. And I am getting real good at the smoker! Not sure this will ever get corrected. I know it takes time. The Cisco experiment has done nothing from my perspective. But, I am fortunate enough to be on it, for that I am thankful.

    Good Day, I was just checking the engine mounts on my 9.9. Is the water discharge from around mid engine normal? Please check the water drops in the center of the picture. The stream continues through out rpm’s. Thanks Dave

    IMG_2480.mov Additional pics of issue. Does the motor seem too high? I can’t seem to load my video on here that really reflects the issue
  23. Netbender
    For those interested, finalized.

    Good morning, thanks again for taking the time to educate me on this and providing guidance. A lot going on here. Everyone has been helpful. Heading out today for some fish! Dave

    Sent videos to dealership. Changed the position of the trim tab anode to all possible positions. There was little to no improvement in the lean issue. Ran the boat in several different directions and varied rpm. Turning to the left seems to have more resistance than turning to the right when on plane. Pulled of the steering rod to the 9.9 and made sure the 9.9 was trimmed up full. Still has severe lean to port side above 2500 rpm to plane. Bow raises rather quickly when given throttle. Here is the anode position from the dealership. Thanks, Dave
