Stay away from the Bass Pro nets with the gold handle. Had an early version and it worked well. Bought a new one this year and it is awful. Hooks as well as fish jaws can't resist it. Total garbage! The only saving grace is that it was inexpensive. Still an absolute waste of money.
I have a sea star system that ties my motors together, Don't think it's a do it yourself project though. Do you have separate throttle controls for the motors ? Good luck
Cisco is manufactured right here in the USA, give them a call. Excellent products as well as customer service. Plus as a bonus you can understand the person you are talking to.
For 3 color set ups we use cheap okuma level windes in the 30 size. Drags seem to loosen while riding but besides from that they get the job done. The 30's have enough room for backing to be able to run them out on boards. As far as rods go I like a medium weight rigger rod in 8'6'". Good luck!
No, I put the pt under the gunwales and used big jon swivel bases on top. Never had a problem in four years of running that boat. I own cannons now with swivel bases, I believe you could thru bolt them into the pt like I did with the big jons. Good luck, pm me if you have any more questions. Matt
