Re: TROLLING MOTOR BATTERY PROBLEMS!! PLEASE HELP!!
A battery dealer told me that each time you let a battery run down to dead, and then recharge it, you lose 50% of it's capacity. I don't know if that's accurate, but it seems like it wouldn't take long to have no capacity at all. I upgraded to Optima blue tops, which are spiral wraps and require no ...

John, Our club has used both the plastic basket, and a designated weigh-in bag. We found the bag does settle the fish faster, and there is less chance of one flipping out during the transfer. We put the bag back on the scale and zero each time, to compensate for any water that might remain from the ...

If you go to Daiwa.com they have a button on the left side of their top banner for warranty.
They have a list of authorized service centers in CA., and a phone number if you want to talk to a reel ( ) person.

Jimmy,
Again, thanks for taking the time to explain the 987 to me at the Bass A Thon.
If I'm going to ugrade, do you recommend a 987 on the console, or the 787 on the bow with a trolling motor transducer. I can't afford both units (heck, I can't afford one ).

Use a fan to blow them away from you, and NEVER pour in the house. The garage or tool shed is okay, but be sure to have good ventilation. Lead fumes are bad news, especially for kids and pregnant women.

Re: source for lead for jig pouring?
I used to pour my own sinkers for surf fishing, and used plumber's lead off the jobs I was working on. I imagine it's still available at a plumbing supply. It melts at a low temp., and was easy to pour, as I recall, but that was a looooong time ago.

Don't try it unless you have someone with a real tow vehicle handy to help pull out both your boat and your car.
