    May have some spare parts if anyone is in the market, power trim, starter, carbs, ect! I had quality help today, and if he didn't drink the beer, I would have had no way to measure the oil!!

    Not sayin' I did, but I'm also a ham radio operator and these http://www.aprs.org/ are quite useful and may be used to control a trolling motor.
    I may have had the opportunity to put one on a certain paramedic's boat last year with my 82 year old dad, but be assured I did not.

    Can't speak for my dad, however.



    But if you want to stay EXACTLY 51 feet in the wake of another boat and match its speed, send me a PM. Think of it as a digital rope.
