Motor Guide Still Sucks

As I mentioned in another post I took the Waco out today for its maiden
voayge.

Amoung the various things I tested was the trolling motor. I pulled the
Motor Gunk off the Baker a while back and put on a new Minn Kota Maxxum. I
love the Maxxum. Anyway, I had the Motor Gunk repaired figuring to either
sell it, or use it on another boat. It had all new parts installed. I
dropped it in the water and after moving back and forth a couple times I
noticed the pointer was not pointing in the right direction, and except at
the absolute slowest speeds the darn thing was flopping back and forth worse
than the tail of a dog with a mouth full of bacon.

As I pulled it out of the water I could hear parts rattling in the motor
head. ****! Motor Gunk has found its way to my, "I ain't gonna risk a dime
on 'em list." If Motor Gunk wants to send me a free new motor I might try
it and give them a second chance, but otherwise forget it.

Fortunately, since nobody had expressed any interest in buying the Skeeter I
had already decided to start pulling stuff off of it for the Whacko. It
took me about ten minutes to pull that old reliable Evinrude trolling motor
off. Sometime tommorrow I am sure I'll have it mounted on the Whacko, and
ready for a test run. While I was at it I pulled both fish finders off he
Skeeter as well in order to use them on the Whacko. I already mounted my
Garmin 176 GPS map, so I will definitely be ready for that ABA aluminum
series coming up.
