Hello everyone, this channel is focused on the five totally unrelated subjects that make up the majority of my life; aviation, finance, golf, fishing, and home improvement projects. If you have interest in any or all of these subjects I encourage you to check out some videos and leave me some feedback to help decide future content. Thank you for looking into my channel!
What model is the powerdrive? What batteries do you use and how does it affect them? Like do you run out of battery quickly?How is your battery/electronics setup? I just got a tracker pro 170 and looking to set it up nice.
Bought this boat last Spring with the 85. My excitement quickly turned to disappointment. Nothing but problems with the shifting and heavy steering. Had it several times in fast water and it was a safety issue. Just will not shift from rev to fwd without a lot of force. This morning I got a pre sunrise text from my son on the way to a duck blind and the linkage won’t let him go into forward. Luckily it was down river so he saved the hunt by floating down river and reversing it ashore. Looks like I’m finally going to have to make that 7 hour round trip drive to my dealer. Are jet drive linkage just ridiculously stiff and notchy?
You can use the remote and the foot controller at the same time. My left turn on my remote quit working so I hooked up the foot controller just to turn left but it all worked on both controls except the left turn on My remote
Evan, you get right to the point and hit the specifics spot on. I like the fact that you don't spend time discussing the history of your life etc that so many people do! Thanks for creating a solid informative tutorial! Best to you on the water!
We have the same boat 2016 though, great boat but steering cable broke today is what brought me to your video, grease the cable every year, I was looking for videos of how to fix but RU-vid of course takes me else where lol
I just got the terrova 80 ipilot. Works amazing... although going in a straight line down the canal is difficult... the motor veers to one side. Do you have to hit the check mark when you adjust setting in autopilot?
How is it in some choppy weather I know there not meant for rough weather but was curious if it can handle some tough weather in the event it comes out of no where
Great video! My question is do you have any problems with getting the boat back on trailer straight. I have a 2022 1860 roughneck sc and have a lot of trouble getting it on straight. Looks like same trailer.
Yeah bro, I have the Lund Predator 20cc (same boat, same company, different brand on the side, made in the same factory. I even have some parts on mine that say Lowe). These trailers are the BIGGEST pieces of sh!t ever! I broke my load guides first time I took it out and a friend of mine broke his too 1st time out. Plastic wheel wells, light weight and bolted together EVERYTHING. 😂 I've got it down pretty good now, but I put 2 sets of upgraded load guides on mine. My biggest complaint is definitely the trailer. I'm about to do a 1 year review & I've got a couple other videos on here of it. These trailers are a complete joke. For the money, you'd think they could at least put it on something worth more than a Harbor Freight diy trailer. Lol.
I echo what others have said here. Very good to the point information. My question would be in recording a track, can you record the track while using the boats outboard so it could be recorded more quickly? If so how fast could you travel the course and still have the path accurately recorded?
Evan, how does the wiring for trolling motor/fish finder run from the bow to the console and transom? Is there a channel or conduit it runs through under the floor? Is the relatively accessible as you stick your head in through the bow storage doors?
I haven't been able to find anything under around $1,300 that has i-pilot. The $800 model doesn't have i-pilot. If it did I would buy one! If you know of an $800 unit that has i-pilot please let me know!
Great video. I'm looking at purchasing new, but the price seem inflated as with everything right now. Any idea what normal price should be, I want to be sure I wait it out for normal pricing. Thanks.
Very Nice boat.. I have the 2006 G3 1860CC with a 2006 Yamaha 4 stroke 50hp motor and run most of the Connecticut river with no problems.. Yamaha motors are incredible, have this 2006 since new and have done just the routine maintenance every year and have absolutely no problems, even to this day (16 years) later it is purring like a kitten before I even get my hand of the ignition key. So impressed with Yamaha that I bought my wife a Yamaha motorcycle when we got bikes and never a problem with that either.. Awesome fishing machine and will own it for life, I've had boats that cost three times as much but my G3 is the boat I will not part with.. Can't go wrong with this style boat.
How is it duck hunting w a center console? Do you just use it to get to spots or do you make a blind for it and hu t out of it? As for duck hunting the 60hp tiller version would be fine. But for fishing big bodies of water im slightly worried the tiller running it wide open to get to spots will destroy my arm lol. So im on the fence for a side console. But that would drastically shrink the room for when I make a blind and hunt from it. As im looking at getting the 2070
I build a blind for mine, it works out really well actually, it gives me enough room to move around and even with all of my stuff onboard there is plenty of room for two people.
