Land Locked? Not me!!!!! - 06/12/19 01:36 AM
Got the boat back today with Livescope mounted. They forgot to mount the Ultrex motor though. In my manly wisdom I said, well [censored] I will say a few hundred bucks and do it myself. It was not bad, but somewhere in the mix I tripped a breaker. Keep in mind, this is a new boat and I am out there with my meter, pulling fuses, finally fixed a whiskey and sprite (2:00 pm) and said @#%$. Went inside and ate lunch, then came back out and started checking again. No power to the motor. I got in positions that a 51 year old man should not get in trying to reach some of those wires. Somehow I noticed this little yellow switch and flipped it and presto, power! Took it to the lake, setup the Ultrex and messed with Livescope a little. Going to get a detailed lesson in the morning. But here are a few pics. Oh, while I was driving to put a little more time on the boat (Trying to reach that 20 hour mark) I saw something jumping. Stopped, pulled the trolling motor out and threw a jig and caught a small Bass. First fish I ever caught on Lake Tyler. Was a good day. Now I am going to take a muscle relaxer and go to bed to wake up early and jerk some crappie lips at Lake Palestine!!!!
