The battery may not be sized correctly. You may check the minimum Marine CCA required for your motor. I think on a 150 opti it’s 850 marine CCA. The last battery I bought was a size 31 lead cell dual cranking deep cell just for starting and electronics. If you are buying new look into AGM’s...
No, I just add more gas in the tank. I look at where I am fishing and plan my gas accordingly. I figure 3 miles to the gallon. I normally don’t run more that 10-15 miles from the ramp anymore. So I’ll put in 15 gallons at a time. Occasionally I will pull out the tackle storage behind the...
I took mine out thinking there was 1/2 a tank. Went about 10 miles and seen the gas gauge bouncing. After fishing a couple hours heading back to the ramp ran out of gas a mile away. Spent the rest of the time on the trolling motor fishing docks until I made it back to the ramp.
I had to...
What size of motor? I have the same year and model. Things you should know, if you have a 150 on the back, don’t fill your gas tank to the top. This is a 40+ gallon tank and with a full livewell and two guys in the boat it takes forever to get up on plane. Once it does it moves on. I could...
I think you need a large 1 ton truck, lol. Honestly just check the weight of the boat and trailer. I would recommend a front wheel drive or four wheel drive. The only reason for that is, I have seen what slick ramps will do to a two wheel drive vehicle. If you have YouTube watch drain plug...
I think about it, but when I’m heading out it’s not on my mind.
I have taken so much tackle and gear out of the boat to lighten the load. I keep 1/2 tank of gas, 1/2 gallon of opti oil on hand.
If I get the opportunity to weigh it I will post it.
I don’t know why it won’t work, I figured I would see what I can get in a 5500 lb, axle, change tires and wheels. That way I will not have to worry about weight, possibly put on Kodiak wet hubs.
Update me on what you end up doing.
Same type of axle. The axle has been changed once.
The boat is too heavy for the axle. If you have a full tank of gas, two peoples tackle, three batteries and other essentials it is close to the maximum weight.
My buddies trailer has developed a problem with the spindle weld breaking...
one of my friends had the same problem with his trailer and tracker did not want to talk with him. He asked them about a new axle and they didn’t want to talk with him.
One of my friends has a trail star trailer for his 07 nitro 591 and I have a 08 Z7 with the same trailer. We are both having issues with bearing failure. In the last three years between the both of us we have replaced the bearings on at least five times. He has taken his to a couple different...
This is what I made for a step. I have total about $150.00 including machine shop cutting and bending the top plate. The handle is 2 1/2” muffler pipe, rubber tread plate cane from harbor freight. I may still have the PDF drawing for the top plate.
I guess there is a lot of unknowns about his listing. Is there a trailer, does it run, when was the last time on the water, what is the serial number.
I did a little research there was only 170 of these built.
The listing I posted was a general number. There was some cheaper and some higher...
