pmgoffjr, Good...you sell em so you should know. You said "second hole up". That is what I have too but counted from the TOP of the mount it is the 4th hole DOWN, right? Just want to make sure the motor is mounted correctly for the boat. Never occoured to me it may not be until I got to...

I had the same questions last year when I wanted to upgrade my console sounder. The Matrix will snap right into the Pro 128 mount or you can use the new one that comes with the Matirx. You will have to change the transducer and the holes are not the same for the Matrix bracket on the transom. I...

I upgraded the single bank charger in my PT185 to a dual bank charger. I now use the Guest 2611 and it will charge my trolling motor battery overnight with no problems. Of course when you are not using the boat it keeps the batteries topped off so I am always ready to go. The 2611 is a 10 amp...

Nah...it's not stupid. If you don't know, you don't know! The "mooring anchors" are called cleats. Stow your mooring lines and use them as needed to tie off your boat when docking. Use the looped end on your boat's cleat. If you leave them on the cleats they will always be under feet and...

Kevin B, Do you mean the set screws on the shaft about half way down to the motor? Lossen those and the shaft drops down from the connection with the arrow?

I was looking at the motor today and see there are 3 screws holding the head together. I have tried to find a parts exploded view for Motorguides with no luck. Seems to me if I were to remove the top half of the head (containing the arrow light assembly) I could simply turn the arrow to the...

Just for those who may want to know....I received and installed the MG Tour 54lb foot control motor on my PT185. I used the older Gator breakaway mount I already had on the boat with the 43 lb pro and it is fine. Actually I like it better than the new one which I left boxed up. I was expecting...

Anybody know where to buy those colapsable spring things that hold open a lid? When opened the spring is straight and tight which firmly hold the lid open and to close you just push the center of the spring and it folds down. Know the ones? The gas things for lids cost too much... LT

RedRocker, The first time I took out my new 02 PT185 I noticed the flex of the flimsy mount that comes with the Pro 43. What is this non sense? I was used to Minn Kota and never had owned a MG. Anyway, I quickly broke the mount when I bumped into a stump. I fixed it but bought a Gater mount...

Uh oh! I noticed the pedal appeared higher in the online photos but thought it was my imagination. I told myself it couldn't be THAT much different or they couldn't sell em!. I won't know until it arrives. There are no dealers any where near me for me to compare. I have decided to order the...

Well I can understand you not like getting a citation...no one likes to be boarded or cited. The officer was out doing his job you pay him to do. The fact remains you took a chance with a youth PFD for an adult passenger and got caught so pay your fine and stop whining about it. LT in Georgia

Buzz baits and a 8-10 inch plastic worm with 4.0 hook. All in black. Pull the worm at a steady pace....it's killer late at night in 3-10 foot water (in the south usa). All my fish over 9 lbs came on one of these two baits fished at night this time of year. Good luck and run your lights!! LT...

I too have an older canvas cover I use on my PT185 and I just finished treating it last week. DO NOT waste your money on scotch guard...it don't work for this job. I wasted 3 cans of the stuff. I then bought the camp dry silicone waterproofer at wal mart (the one with the orange cap) and it...

He released it?!!! Oh, that sucka would have gone on the wall!!! LT

Try the Garmin 240. It is hard to beat! LT

Oh, the Matix transducer mount is not interchangable with the one from the 128.. it is smaller. LT

Richard, I also have the Garmin V GPS I use on a ram mount but haven't figured out how to hook it to the Matrix. If and when you do...let us know how. I got family stuff to do this holiday weekend so I guess I won't know about the Matrix performance till late next week. Got to be an...

Ok....thanks. Now i have those answers it brings up more! I was thinking the 168 was basically an enhanced 240. I have a Garmin V GPS I use at my console with a ram mount and a 240 at the bow. The 240 has spoiled me. I have the PT185 which comes with the crap HB sounder at the console. I am...

Get the 240!
