    PWM

    Yes, that is the fan on the lower area. I should show the hole, I cut in same pattern as fan lattice. Sort of like a doily. But I digress... Ventilation is in by the wire opening, out by the fan, on opposite side of box. Fan is wired to PWM output, so is variable speed based on load. No, the box...

    Lifepo4 trolling battery

    Which battery did I chose? As mentioned, my boat is small, as is my TM, and I really use it to get from place to place rather than trolling. And I had a Noco U-1 box already, and have been fine with a 35ah AGM, until it entered old age (like me) and started to have lapses (like me...). What you...

Grabbing peg with teeth, snapping off fish, etc. Trick seems to be to use a new one every few hours. Have now tried the "Plumbobber" for two days, and they seem really good. Fun little uprights...

    Hi folks So have you taken the plunge to Lifepo4 battery for trolling motor? And if so, experiences, recommendations, pitfalls? My current 35ah SLA is about at the end of it's life. Been a good little work horse for 4 years, but also #25. Seeing Lifepo4 with reasonable BMS, 50ah, at 12# and...

    First Fish of the Year

    Started the season with several friends on a local year round lake. Gad it is good to get out even if a bit cold yet. Took a few moves and some scanning, but finally found players in 18' with a blood worm just off bottom and a chironomid 18" up from that. Ended up north of a dozen on about 25...
