New Kicker and New Bow Mount Minn-Kota

Phil,

After posting these photos I figured out why your photos are being cutoff. When you place them inline it forces them to conform to the forum width. When you allow them to be at the end of the post with descriptions it allows them to expand fullsize.

Bastards!

They painted the underside of your stern for you! Mine is just bare aluminum!

alright! gonna have to test it all out in a week. It'll be a game changer having those trolling motors.

Motor is mounted. What I thought was the correct power plug is nothing of the sort. Need to get a pug on Monday.

Next, a bow mounted fish finder to go with that empty transducer space. I tell ya it just never stops...

Looking at your pics, I'm surprised at the differences between your boat and mine, especially since they were built the same year.

I didn't catch the paint part, but noticed your live well pump is mounted where my wash down thru hull is so those two lines are opposite on our boats.

Another thing I noticed, originally, your kicker battery was mounted on the starboard side, mine was (still is) mounted on the port side along with the oil tank. That, however, was not a Hewescraft decision, that was done at the dealer. Still strange they didn't outfit both the same way.

As to the picture thing, I thought the difference was because I host my own photos, not upload to WA Lakes. I do know if I downsize my pics to 750x563 they don't get chopped, but this is the only place I have to do that. The other forums I frequent let me post 1024x768 without having to do that, or the forum software will automatically thumbnail the pics. Here's a test with a pic at the end...

Hmm, that didn't work.

Ok, think I have it figured out, I have to add the pic as an attachment instead of using the IMG tag in order for it to work.

This worked (via preview) but not with the full resolution pic from my camera. Still have to downsize, but at least it will accept 1024x768 which is my standard resize for internet pics.

I guess things have changed. There was a time when that kind of language wasn't allowed. Do you think you'll ever get Hewescraft as a sponsor after calling them such a thing?

Would you suggest Aaron get a warning shot from one of the Moderators? Might go something like this: Uhhhhmmm Boss! Should not be using language such as this. One more time, gonna have to block your IP Address from any further replies on your website. Thanks for your support......Boss! Say, am I still invited to the X-mas party?

During my growing years, I got very intimate with the flavor, consistency, and lather ability of Dove Soap for using such language. "Heck" and "damn" got you back to back Dove mouthwashes and teeth scrubbing's. I don't mind not blowing those bubbles anymore.

Got the Terrova wired up, batteries charged, no juice! After a bit of trouble shooting I found that the power receptacle on the bow was wired wrong. Rewired that and everything works!

I also got a call from Larry at the Loon Lake Marina that my motor had come in. He broke it in for me on the tank and put on my boat.... just in time!

I am now ready to hit the road tomorrow for the Lake Chelan video shoot.
