When on plane, Minn-Kota is out of the water.

Yep, I've seen them. I run a single EM-80 on the anti- cav plate.

Yep, late to the party, but Edson.

Thank you so much for the offer!! Great to know we have guys like you on Great Grady willing to help another member out.

I know. Going new 4.2 F250 fly by wire hopefully next year. Chose to be an adult and pay off bills this year. Responsibilities suck sometimes!!

Yep, tilt and trim motor. Who knows on the hit. I'll go with old age and not the best care given to motor before I bought the boat. Rust showing around base at gasket area. Pushing 1300 hrs and probably original motor. Not that that is a good reason it died. It's a boat, nothing but a thing...

TnT motor gave up the ghost last night. Our boating is done while we're here. I'll fix when I get home. Probably going aftermarket for motor. Not going to pay $700 for OEM when I plan to repower, don't see that kind of investment in a 2004 motor. Get a couple of years out of aftermarket and good...

Couldn't tell you. It was a pic from another site that had the mount on a 228. With the bracing shown, doubt that it matters.

Thanks hoon!! My plan was to go with what I have for now. I can always modify later. I did go up one on anchor size to the FX-11. Have a FX-7 that I've been manually tossing out, I'll keep it as my stern anchor for sandbar duty.

Good to hear.

When we were there, we hit it at a bad time, water wise. Okeechobee was dumping the stained water into Caloosahatchee and ruined the water quality, looked like coffee. Then Red tide. We found some good water on the backside of Sanibel to hang out in, but shortly after we left it went downhill.

Please post hoon. I haven't started the install yet. If it's something I might need, I'd like to see it.

Thanks. We hit that area a couple of years ago when we stayed in Cape Coral. Ate at Cabbage Key then went on up to Boca.

Short bridge in question. I made it under but did drop the antennas to do so, maybe a foot or so clearance. Tide was also going out so that helped, otherwise I'd have had to ask for an opening.

It's all good. We're used to hanging out around 3 Rooker and Anclote Key off of Tarpon Springs and Anclote.

Picked up my windlass and FX-11 yesterday. Lewmar Pro-Fish 700, $566.99 Fortress FX-11 anchor, $119.99 Out the door with tax, $735.07 Looking forward to install this. Been nice to use it today on Big Sarasota Pass sandbar.

Mine is 16 years old but when I bought it, felt she deserved a full refresh. I've pretty much replaced everything on her except the motor. Was going to do the repower this fall but decided to be a responsible adult and pay some things off before I repower. Sucks to adult sometimes!! Fingers...

Sitting off South end of Lido County Park. Tide going out was ripping. Need to find a more sheltered sandbar to just hang out and float. Had to work to stay with boat if we were floating.

Just pulled into Casey Key Fish House for late lunch. Low bridge will make you pucker.
