    24 24 Volt Circuit Breaker for 12 Volt Trolling Motor

    I bought a new circuit breaker to replace the old one for my 12 volt trolling motor. Well, i didn't look at it good enough before I bought it and it says 24V on the side of it. My old says 12 Volts. Would this circuit breaker be ok to use? Or should I get a 12 Volt one?

    Hummingbird 565 Any Good?

    Does here have any experience with the hummingbird 565? It has a good vertical resolution (640) so I would think it would show alot of detail. I am also considering the Lowrance X96 but I heard the transducer that comes with it won't mount for shooting thru the hull. Thanks for the opinions.

    RPMs Too High at WOT???-1996 FORCE 120

    I have recently purchased a 1996 FORCE 120HP engine. I went WOT this weekend and the RPMs were around 6000. The owner's manual says the WOT range is 4750-5250. Is there any danger to the engine if the RPMs are running that high? Why would it be running that high? (NOTE: I have yet to verify...

    Converting a Transom Mount Trolling Motor to a Bow Mount

    I was wondering if anybody thought it was possible to convert a transom mount trolling motor to a bow mounted one. As far I could tell it might be possible. You would have to drill some holes in the shaft to keep it mounted. Is this a good idea? I will just use it temporarily

    I am thinking of getting a boat with a 1996 Force 120HP engine. I was wondering if I need to check the compression on it before I get it. If so, what should the compression be? Or will I be able to tell if it is good just by trying the boat out? I am relatively new to boat motors. Also, is...
