I have a 2005 8 HP Honda trolling motor that spews carbon, especially after running at low rpms for awhile. It starts and runs OK. Dies after trolling for 30 minutes or so, on start up it belches a carbon cloud and then runs OK for another 30 or so minutes. I have taken it in to a local Honda...

Tom; In the Slavic languages Bidarka can be translated to mean "little trouble". As far as my wife is concerned she suggested calling our boat Nemesis, which may be "big trouble" (Bida). wapiti

Hey Tom; Thanks for the info will see if I can also order from Troll Master directly. By the way the name of your boat "Bidarka" does it mean "trouble" in Russian? wapiti

Tom; I am also interested in putting a Troll Master on my 2005 Honda 8 hp kicker. Nice to hear you are happy with yours. Is it the remote model? Where did you source yours from? wapiti

Hello C-Dorius; Thanks for the reply; I just needed some reassurance to proceed as you have suggested, same gauge wire, good spices, moisture proof connections and an inline fuse. Also nice to know you have a Promariner. Cheers! wapiti

Am still looking for advice on the feasibly of making my own 10 ft extensions for a new on board dual 8 amp battery charger I recently purchased. The manual says buy their own brand 15' extensions @ $30.00 each. I am thinking I can make my own custom length extensions for a lot less than...

Jody; I set up my shore power system similar to Jenny-B, with a GFCI box in the cabin of the 22' Angler. Thus I either need to lengthen the charger plug cord if I mount the charger in the location you suggest or the two outlet cords, if I mount the charger next to the GFCI box. My preference is...

Just purchased a Promariner dual bank 8 amp charger. The outlet wiring is only 5 or so feet long. I need at least 12 to 15 feet to reach my batteries from inside the cabin. Should I purchase two Promariner extensions for around $60.00 or should I cut, solder and shrink sleeve my own extensions...

Happy Birthday USA! I got to be at least 1/100 American and 99/100 Canuck as I spent 2 years getting a graduate degree at Utah State. And those were some of the best and most enjoyable years of my life. wapiti

Thanks! and a Happy 4th to all of you l American Brats. I must say this is one of my top web sites and one I consult almost daily. Cheers! wapiti

Your guide to posting pics is excellent. But will it work on a Mac running Firefox? If not what mods would be required? Thanks wapiti

I would like to order one XL stonewashed green and one 2XL in forest green. Thanks! Wapiti

I recently replaced the carpet covering on the side guides of my trailer. I marked the location of the U-clamps and tired to replace the guides to their original location. My problem is that the center of one of the guides seems to be touching or almost touching the boat hull. I assume that this...

Folks; I have a Honda 90 and a 8 hp which can be connected with a steering rod to allow for steering of the trolling motor with the main steering wheel. The problem is that the rod connecting the two motors goes on the lower back end of each of the legs and it is a major production to put on...

Thanks for your hints and help. I like the stainless u-bolt suggestion, as I don't want to permanently mount my rack on the roof rails. wapiti

Folks; I am looking for some sort of metal device that will allow me to attache a metal roof rack to the roof rails on a C-Dory 22' angler. I have seen the plastic/hose clamp attachments and cou;ld possibly make metal ones that would be similiar to the plastics, except I am not sure whether I...

When I was looking for a C-Dory last summer I did notice quite a few for sale in Alaska. As I live near Edmonton Alberta it was much more convenient to but from the NW states. Also you might want to look into whether there are companies that will transport your boat from Alaska to Whitehorse...

AJF See my post in the documents section of this forum. You must have a bill of sale, titles for the boat and trailer and a letter from the trailer manufacturer indicating that there are no outstanding recalls on the trailer when you cross the border. Look up the website www.RIV.ca as it is a...

:D

Hey Tug; Glad to hear she floats. Remember your offer of a beer. Maybe we'll get out east and collect on that brew some day. Alternatively if you get to Alberta we can provide you with some western hospitality. Good Luck and smooth boating. Wapiti
