r111 started following Good linky for tides , PSA: 50AH 12V LiFePo4 drops below a hundo ! , PSA: 50AH 12V LiFePo4 for $120 on Amzn and 3 others

Presidents Day special, $96 for 50AH/12V, other capacities available. Lookup LiFePO4 on slickdeals (Eco-Worthy brand).
-
Look up "ECO-WORTHY 12V 50Ah", clip the $30 coupon . Read my posts for in-depth on the tech. DO SEAL the gaps, however thin, as they would wick in (salt)water should you get any splashes/submersion and that's about the only way you could kill these batteries. Otherwise, they have practically eternal lifespan.

Trolling Motor on a Kayak vs. Pedal Drive - New Guy
r111 replied to slim_velvet's topic in Kayaking and Kayak Fishing Forum
Had my PA14 for about 10 years. Use it with a Watersnake T24 trolling motor. Still take the mirage drive with me, as a backup. Written pages upon pages on the subject, look em up if interested in in-depth stuff -

12V 24AH LiFePO4 - $70 (!!!) on Amazon
r111 replied to r111's topic in Kayaking and Kayak Fishing Forum
Would give you about 5-6 miles of range w typical trolling motor. Few days of running time w avg FF. I suggest sealing all the gaps, however tiny, with a sealant, so they dont wick saltwater in. -
Includes BMS . Look it up on slickdeals.

Lookup "HISEA Breathable Stockingfoot Insulated Waist Waders with Neoprene Stocking Foot for Duck Hunting Fly Fishing Kayaking" on Amazon. Dont forget to clip 10% coupon. Nice quality, longer pants, stylish (!) elastic belt, repair kit. They even throw in a waterproof cell phone case. WARNING - this is for a "separates" setup, not a sub for proper full immersion dry suit. You WILL get wet if you fall in, water will get in under waist belt. I use these when launching at muckish spots etc

Yuge gap between gas and diesel. Regular is toying w $3 here in NJ, while diesel is $4.75. Ouch, the difference was never more than 20%, over 50% now. The reduced supply of heavy Russian oil is likely to blame.

We got thousands of SLF on the maple trees here in Bergen County, I think that battle has been lost. They tap into trees, consume the sap and excrete some kind of syrupy liquid. So thick, it looks like waterfall raining down on leaves and grass and parked cars.

Place of legends for sure. Fishing from kayak, getting closer to the bridge improves quality of fish caught, but also known to attract RHIB with 18YO with his thumbs on Ma Deuce mounted onto a very bouncy platform. There were stories of folx getting detained, interrogated etc.

watch rokkit kit and Glen madden on tubes. if these are your conditions (incl fitness) and your way of fishing, paddle away. If you are more of john skinner type, then peddle. -

Before throwing it out, open it up (usually just 2 screws !) and see if you can fix it. These are usually very very robust and simple cleaning, lube, brush replacement and some sanding would fix most of them in just 10 mins of your time. Youtube for ideas. Might be handy to have replacement brushes on hand. If you cant find exact replacement, Amazon carries nice repair sets, eg "Rrina 20Pcs Electric Motor Carbon Brushes 10 Different Sizes for Replacement Repair Power Tool". If you do have to throw a bad motor out, open it up still, for parts: brushes, seals, spring, bearings etc. Brushes can be made to fit by gentle sanding. In my case, I been fixing occasional water intrusion into Watersnake ASP T24 using these methods. On side note, these are back in stock at Amazon at 130 bux, the price been pretty steady over the years and low enough where it dont hurt financially to replace these upon failure.
