    New Trolling Motor Wiring???

    Can anyone please tell me what kind of wiring comes with a brand new trolling motor? It's a 75 lb thrust 24 volt Motor Guide. Does it come with a plug or just the bare wires?

    Soldering that big ole wire

    I have a 24 volt trolling motor on my jon boat. I don't believe in using those little cheap plugs so I always solder the 6 gauge wire together. I have only done it once before and the finished product was very sloppy and splotchy looking. It worked just fine but I didn't care for the looks of...

    clear coat

    Stingray Hydrofoil

    Do anyone have any experience dealing with a hydrofoil on a small outboard? I am having a hard time getting my 16 foot jon with a 9.9 to plane off. The reviews I read on the product weren't good. A lot of people claim the "piece of plastic junk" breaks off. Anyone, anyone, anyone????????

    Jack plate confusion

    I recently bought a 16 foot Aluma Weld jon. It came with a 9.9 but with a manual jack plate. The boat lacks speed and rides very high in the front. It's rides so high that it's hard to see over the front. The guy I bought it from said the jack plate probably needed to be adjusted but he...
