I worked a bunch of years in quality control testing in a light gauge plastic film plant and am very familiar with tensile testing of thin flexible items including fishing lines. I have a bunch of doubts about their tests. Their knot strength tests showed a drop in line strength. When testing tensil...

Nice catch! But how many smallmouth were caught? Sad!

Two 6 V gollf cart batteries only way to go with a 12 V system. You should get 3 trips before charging also. These batteries should last 5-6 years if you don't charge till they need it. They last longer if you don't charge them every time you go. Check with voltmeter after every trip, and if your vo...

Need a voltmeter to check volts. You'd be ok to go if you have over 12.4 V. Don't charge if they don;t need it. These batterie...
