Ill put a post up in Mass....as far as outboard operation goes...perfect.  26 miles of effortless running!

Awesome!

Glad to hear this.

Awesome!

Glad to hear this.

Thanks Mac.  Its an odd feeling trusting my own boat work but very satisfying.  No one wants a 20 foot paper weight in the driveway. 

Better though was the ipilot.  Spot lock all day and the maximizer only went down to 3 bars!

Ipilot rocks
I'll never be without one

Same.  Had no idea what I was missing.

I have a Honda 8hp kicker on my little Lund.
It does 2/3 of the trolling work.
I supplement the Honda with my Terova.
The ipilot does the steering chores.
Allows us to stay on course while rigging and netting fish.

I added 2 more deep cycle batteries in parallel to the original 2, along with a 2nd on board charger for them.
Now I have 2X the trolling time.
Added about 200 pounds to the bow though.
