A 12 volt 55 pound thrust is enough power for you but your battery wouldn't last long at all.you would most likely have to carry 2 batteries to get you through a full day. So you might as well get a 80 pound 24 volt motor. The batteries for my 24 volt will last for a couple days of bass fishing. I am not sure how long they would last for trolling. My guess is they would be drained in less than 4 hours. Much longer if you are just using the electric to steer while trolling

I had a unexpected day off today due to material delays so I hit the lake early looking for for schools of smallmouth. The screen didn't look all that great at my usual spots but good enough to stay there. Ended up getting a few quality ones and a bunch of smalls. I have caught more tiny smallmouth this year on conesus than I can ever remember. Anyone else notice this? Anyway the future looks bright for the smallmouth in conesus. Got a bonus jumbo northern too.

Buying some new downrigger reels - Tekota or Saltist
shawn393 replied to Dan M's topic in Tackle Description
Saltist 30's you don't need high speed for riggers. You will be happy they aren't high speed when you get a big king on -
The power pole charger looks awesome. It is a charger and battery management system. It would have come in handy more than a few times on my Lund. I need to know what the long term durability is though before I spend that kind of money on it

Crimp instead of a knot? What diameter line? I wouldn't consider it for anything less than 80 pound. I tie knots with 130 floro for musky leaders and never had one fail

It stays 5' deep or more in the marked channel. The sailboats would probably like it deeper. It would be nice if it was a little wider with all the bass boats and kayaks clogging up the entrance

Penn Linecounter Reels - Likes/Dislikes/Models
shawn393 replied to bigwalleye's topic in Tackle and Techniques
That reel isn't big enough for 300' of 45 pound copper. It will hold 300 yards of 50 pound power pro and 200 ft of 45 pound copper -

Some guys tie a overhand knot. I use a crimp and a bead like minion does it. I don't know what atomik does. It might be super glue?

shawn393 replied to bigwalleye's topic in Tackle and Techniques
I have bought/used all the major brands and models. I wanted some reels with more torque so I bought some penns 2 winters ago. 2 squalls for coppers and 2 fathoms 2's for mag divers. After a year+ of hard use they have been excellent. Smooth drags, loud clickers and plenty of power for fighting big fish -
Fished for a few hours today out of sandy. Searched around a bit and found the best screen in 90 to 110 fow from hamlin park to east of sandy. Lots of bait moving in and we caught some majors on free sliders and a few on a 10 color. The highlight of the day was when my cousin went to net a fish that bit the slider and got the mainline spoon stuck in his ear. I cut the hook and pulled it out and we called it a day. Sucks too because we were on them .

1990 50hp Evinrude Outboard Prop Shaft Seal
shawn393 replied to PassalugoFishingInc's topic in This Old Boat
It's pretty easy if you have the right tools. You will need a specialty puller to pull the bearing carrier out. I ended up making one out of a puller I already had. Danger marine on YouTube has a detailed video on the job for a evinrude -
