This and That Observations

[SkunkedAgain]

Jeff I fished Willard Thursday. Still a little slow on the crabkbait bite but did get a couple wipers and 1 walleye  we fished mostly deepdivers .  Water temp was 49 at 7am but when we left it got to around 53.found most active fish in  the so west corner. Hope this helps. Bill

Thanks Bill, sounds like you found some fun anyway... Hope they were good sized fish for you... Man I wish I could come over and join you on the pond this weekend, but pretty sure I can't... May have to take a day off work and not tell my wife and take the boat instead.... Terrible when you have too many things that need to be done when the fishing is picking up... Wife keeps my priorities straight for the family rather than the fishing... Oh well... later Jeff

Got the Terrova mounted on the boat, just need to make sure my wiring is right before I hook anything up... My boat has a four wire power cables from back battery bay to the bow plug in, but my motor is a two wire power leads... Anyone know why the boat would have 4 heavy gage wires?  Before I cut anything to hook it up, just curious what that is all about?  Thanks and Later Jeff

Is it possible that it was one wired for 12/24 volt front troller?  My switch up front to select 12 or 24 Volts has four wires. Also requires two batteries that it may once have had.

There is a good chance it could have been wired that way... I think the boat is a 1999 so it was probably wired for that era of motors.  I don't have a switch to go between 12 or 24 volt though. I'm going to look over the wires today and make sure they didn't do something between the battery bay and the front.  Hopefully that will help me figure out how to hook things up.  The boat was originally designed with only two batteries, I assume the motor starting battery and one for the trolling motor, so I'm going to have to add another battery... I'd kind of like to put it up front so the wires aren't so long to get to the motor and also to even out the weight... But that makes wiring the batteries a little more difficult if one is in back and one up front... Maybe that is where the four wires comes in handy...  Thanks for your tips, I think you're pointing in the right direction... Jeff
