Agree with this 100%...Proper installation, charging and storage are essential to long battery life. Most battery brands are pretty reliable, but neglect can lead to premature failure of any battery.

Yeah I'm sure no one here has ever done that!:oops:

I'm a motor off guy myself as much as possible...exception being when I'm tight to the rocks and any wind or waves are pushing me in, then I'll leave it on for safety. Otherwise I think the fish prefer it off!

Dover Marine in NH. They checked all over amongst many distributors...no one had one. I think it depends alot on what model, power and shaft length.

Don't hold your breath...I ordered mine last October, it came in 3 weeks ago. Ordered the quick release bracket March 1st...still waiting for that. Hopefully they've worked through all the back orders and are getting caught up. Just another symptom of the times!

Thanks for those pics. My plan is to try and terminate the front end of my railing so it mirrors the aft end...But the height I like!

Welcome to the group! Glad to hear your boats still solid. Where do you splash her? So...I do like that bow rail...can you send a pic of the front end of the railing, I'd like to see how it ties back into the deck. My bow rail is on the chopping block this spring and I need a mental picture.

Congrats on the finished product! Your work has been an inspiration. She looks awesome! That custom switch panel is a nice touch! Therein lies the one thing I enjoy about all the doers on here... you all take pride in your work and it shows up in the finished product. Alot to be said for that.

My MK 60 has 47"-48" of vertical travel. So the 60" must represent the distance from the bottom of the mounting surface I'm assuming.

Sweet ride! Well done!

Welcome aboard! what area are you sailing?

Yes, this is the case with fasteners. There are very few options for stainless steel fasteners made in the US. The problem in my industry is compounded by the fact that most of the federally funded municipal projects in the US require a substantial amount of USA made materials. Fasteners is the...

I work in a stainless steel shop and i can tell you that its probably not the stainless steel. Any rust spots that you see on the backside or outside of the fittings is most likely iron that was in the water that settled beneath the fitting. This should easily be removed with a little light...

Any chance your on well water? I'm on a well and I get the orange colored staining as the season goes on from the repeated washings. As water is left to evaporate, the small amounts of iron in the well water end up rusting wherever it pools. Just a thought...

Regardless of the extent of each repair, I second the Cecil/Parker gelcoat to finish. The repairs to my 1997 came out excellent last fall. The thing is, if you truly don't like the color of the Parker gel finish, you can always try a custom match afterward. But I think your starting with a gel...

My thoughts exactly Sydngoose...

I also just got my 80# Ulterra last week, after being backordered since last October. Putting all the accessories together now. I'm going to try the Duracell AGM's in a group 31 mounted in the console. A fishing buddy of mine has these and he seemed pretty happy with them and they aren't super...

Mines a 1997, and although I have not had any tank issues as of yet, I would not be all that eager to tackle a project like that without solid proof of a problem. If if will make you feel better, by all means carry on! My approach has been to read as much as I can from all the old posts dealing...

I do believe multiple frequencies are available for the 943xsv...Garmin states: - ClearVü/SideVü (260/455/800/1000/1200 kHz)- Not sure if any of those are low enough for you.

ttrox, Did you buy a new unit yet? I bought a Garmin UHD94sv over the winter that will get installed this spring on my 1800. For me, its the right viewing size at a good price point. I rarely stray from behind the console and my eyesights still pretty good so 9" will be plenty. For...
