Thanks. I think they are getting better and less violent with each firmware update. It should not be a safety problem for me as I'm always sitting in the raft. The only small issue is boat orientation is unpredictable.

I had a great time and learned a lot. It started off with a faux pas as I lost my truck key! The truck has been sitting all winter. I got ready to leave and there was no truck key on my key ring. It must have fallen off sometime. Fortunately, I had a backup and more importantly, I found the...

It looks like I'm ready to fish. I topped of the inflation in all the chambers this afternoon. My Rube Goldberg inflation valve system worked really well. While I don't usually like to go out on Saturday, I'm too anxious to wait till next week!

Nice. I did a deep dive last year into them and ended up buying an A11N net. I can't recall if it was the Semi-Permanent Tournament or 22' Pro. We have not used it yet as the court is not yet built. I don't plan to set it and down. We will keep it set up and simply wheel it into the garrage...

Looks like a pretty cheap solution. We are putting a pickleball court in the driveway of our retirement home. Since it will double as a driveway and parking area, we will be using a portable net. This might be a good idea for the ends of the court. I could put a couple of these at each end...

Folks above have already covered it pretty well. I don't have much to add, but I just upgraded my little fishing boat and am hopping to get out crappie fishing soon. We have bad weather forecast, but once it passes thru, I hope to get back out. I'm in Virginia. Here we need a license for...

Absolutely! Perennial clover should be planted in the fall with a cereal grain cover crop. I think Winter Rye is the best choice. To prepare for a clover planting in the fall, you can plant a late spring buckwheat crop. It competes well with summer weeds and give you two shots to kill cool...

I made the final modifications to the Kayak Terrova today, so as soon as the weather cooperates, I'm ready to go fishing! I first removed the 2 screws that hold the plastic cover to the motor release mechanism. I then installed 2 stainless steel eyebolts into the screw holes used for the...

I understand how you feel, but your banning reflects more on the mod on that site than it does on you. I'm glad to see you here and will be watching your journey.

Well, I'm making slow progress, but I think I'm close to done. After the batteries charged this afternoon, I went out and tried to pair the heading sensor with the motor. Again, it would not power up. When I tested the port, I was only getting a few microVolts out. Other ports gave me 14v so...

I just tested both the foot control and the mini-remote and they both work and the prop turns as expected. I had to pull the end of the boat off the trailer to deploy the motor deep enough. I installed the heading sensor last night, but could not get it to power up. I think the battery for...

I heard back from Minn Kota tech support today. They do, in fact, have a safety feature on this motor that won't let the prop spin if it is deployed to a depth of less than 18 inches. So, it looks like I'm going to need to slide the boat a little off the trailer to test the motor.

The weather seems to have broken here and crappie spawning will soon be upon us here in VA. So, I'm back at working on the boat again. If you scroll back up in the thread, you will see I started with a bow mount Minn Kota Edge. It is a foot pedal cable driven control electric motor with 45...

Keep in mind this is my retirement property not the farm. It is only 16 acres, so I have no control over the general area. At the farm, we have never had to set a limit. Most years, I get pics of a half dozen or more longbeards in bachelor groups after the season is over.

Yes, both could be true.
