the political nonsense, but I've been having a ball in my tin boat the
past couple of days.

This thing is a blast to run around in - I can't believe I didn't get
one of these years ago.

About that trolling motor - is it a tight squeeze, trying to turn it one way
or the other with the big motor there? I mean, room for the little motor's
handle, if you know what I mean. I've been meaning to tow the Lund down to
Gander Mountain, bring out a display motor, and see if it fits, but other
chores keep getting in the way.

Nope - mounted as it is, it's great. With reverse, you really don't
need to move the handle all that much to maneuver the boat. In this
instance, I installed an electrical panel/distribution box for all the
electronics stuff, put the battery and anchor in front of the boat for
weight distribution and that was it.

Works great. And 30lbs of thrust is more than enough to move the boat
around and the power drain is minimal.

Later,
