Expert Answers about Boat Motor Accessories
- Would Classic Accessories Boat Cover # 052963889185 Fit Boat with 68 inch Beam
- For your boat with a 68 inch beam the part Classic Accessories Boat Cover # 052963889185 is going to fit as it can fit beams that are near 75 inches. You will most likely have to remove the trolling motor though. Since they are designed for easy removal that shouldn't be too big of a problem.

- The Classic Accessories Boat Cover # 052963889284 referenced in your question is designed to fit boats that are between 14 and 16 feet long. Since your boat measures a bit longer than 16 feet, I recommend going up in length with the Classic Accessories # 052963889383. This is the same style cover as what you were looking at but it fits boats that are between 16 and 18-1/2 feet long. This will likely provide a better fit for your boat and can also work with wider boats with a beam width...

This would not cover the outboard motor though.

- The covers like the Classic Accessories Hurricane Fishing Boat Cover # 052963889383 will work on bass boats like yours, but you will need to consider your trolling motor when you install the cover. You would either want to remove the trolling motor before you install the cover or come up with a way to protect the cover from the blades of it.
Some people will use an old deflated basketball to place over the blades of the motor before you install the cover.
From the research I did it looks...

- Yes you definitely could mount the 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997 on your boat to keep the accessories you mentioned's battery topped off.

- If your Boston Whaler Montauk is 17 feet long the Classic Accessories Boat Cover # 052963889383 is a great option as it's designed for boats like yours that are between 16 and 18-1/2 feet in length. This will work perfectly to cover the bow and side rails on the Montauk but it's not going to cover the outboard motor. This will be the case with any of our boat covers.
This cover features integrated quick release buckles and an adjustable strap system that will allow for an easy and secure...
view full answer... - Roller Bunks For Parker Boats Model 1801 Center Console
- I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk # DL21740 with their 2,500lb capacity per set over the CE Smith # CE27700. With them only having a 1,500lb capacity limit per set I would not feel comfortable using them on your boat.
The majority of the weight will tend to be on the rear of the boat. I would fear the rear set of rollers becoming damaged as they might be very close to their limit by the time you add any other gear or accessories to the boat.
view full answer... - Upgrading 4-Way of Trailer to 7-Way to Power Trailer Winch
- On a trailer 7-way the pin in the 1:00 position is the 12 volt accessory circuit. You'll need to make sure that pin is active on the truck side of the wiring. But there's no way to carry that charge circuit on just a 4-way so you'll have to install a 7-way on you boat trailer.
For that your best option is the 7-way upgrade kit part # HS381-9000 which comes with a junction box and everything needed to upgrade the 4-way to a 7-way and once you run some 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 from...
view full answer... - Do Two Batteries Wired in Parallel Need to be Exact Same
- Connecting two batteries with different capacities in parallel is technically fine since the batteries will be operating at the same voltage. Charge and discharge current will be shared, based on capacity. It is best if the batteries are of the same type and age. So your boat alternator charging one or two batteries would be the same and not a problem.
Lastly, yes you'd want to wire your accessories to the battery bank in the same "parallel" way.
view full answer... - Can a 4,700 Pound Boat Trailer be Moved without Using a Motorized Trailer Dolly
- You could probably move the boat and trailer if it was on level ground but up an incline would be difficult. The tongue weight of a boat trailer is normally lower compared to a utility trailer with the same gross trailer weight. This is because the rear of a boat is heavier than the front.
If the tongue weight of your boat does not exceed 500 pounds you could use the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211. This is a jack and trailer mover in one. It has two speeds for easy moving of the trailer. It...

- I recommend the Tourney Pro Transom Saver # 315-FXJ for your 5'x8' plastic boat. The transom saver is definitely recommended with the lightweight plastic boat you have. With this transom saver you can mount it to the trailer by sliding it onto a Keel Roller # YR12244-125EC or attaching the quick release adapter onto your trailers frame. It can extend from 24" to 36" in length by 3" increments.
view full answer... - Determining The Length Of Bolster Brackets For Boat Trailer Carrying Twin Trawler 10
- I was able to find the trailer you mentioned on the website for your Twin Trawler 10 and I see what you mean about the bunk boards being centered in-between the hulls.
Since your boat measures 5" from the bottom of the trolling motors to the recessed part of the boat where the bunk boards will rest and your 8" bolster brackets are too short I recommend taking a simple measurement to make sure you get the correct length brackets without guessing on length. What you will need to do is with...
view full answer... - Dutton Lainson Powered Winch Recommendation for 1,800 lb Boat
- Generally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with roughly half the capacity as the weight of the boat. With good rollers and a short winching distance the ratio increases to 3 to 1, but with long winching distances and wooden bunks like what you currently have the ratio is 1 to 1.
The 4,000 lb Dutton Lainson TW4000 part # DL25200 you mentioned would be more than adequate and would work great.
view full answer... - Recommended Towing Components for 2011 Chevy Equinox for Fishing Boat
- Your 2011 Chevy Equinox has a towing capacity of 1,500 lbs. I recommend weighing your boat, trailer, and motor to find out the total weigh to see if it will fit within your towing capacity. It is possible based on what I find online. I've found 1980 Glastron boats that are 16 foot weighing between 750 and 950 lbs depending on model. From what I can find, your 80hp Mercury motor may be 350 lbs or slightly more, so you would need to be extremely careful with extra cargo, but it does look...
view full answer... - Recommended Battery For a Boat Trolling Motor
- Yes, the Bright Way Deep Cycle RV or Marine Battery # BRW94FR is a great battery for using with a trolling motor on a boat. The battery is sealed as it is an AGM battery so there is no acid that may leak. The battery is rated for 100 Amp Hours so you will be able to compare that with your trolling motor to determine how much operation time you will get from the one battery.
If weight is an issue you may want to consider a Lithium battery. The Bright Way weighs almost 60lbs where a similar...
view full answer... - Recommended Single Speed Hand Winch for Boat Trailer and 1,500lb Boat with Motor
- I do have a solution for you, but the FT18010301 hand winch you were looking at is not compatible with a wire rope.
A very similar winch that I recommend and will be compatible with a wire rope is the Dutton-Lainson # DL14627. This winch also is a single speed and is rated for 1,800lbs and 9-1/2 inch long handle. It's also designed for marine applications with its TuffPlate finish.
The wire cable for this winch is the # DL24045. The strap we recommend for this winch is the # DL24249....
view full answer... - Best Boat Trailer For 12'6" Inflatable Boat That Will Also Work For 14' Aluminum Boat
- The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 is a great option for both boats. It is capable of transporting boats up to 14' long that weigh up to 800lbs. The winch stand can be moved front to back to accommodate for different length boats to keep the weight positioned in the correct place for the trailer.
The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons with LED Lights # CE27740 will help you to guide the boat onto the trailer when loading but are also great for maneuvering...
view full answer... - Recommended 2-Speed Trailer Winch For Aluminum Fishing Boat With Dual Outboard Motors
- The Fulton XLT, 2-Speed Trailer Winch, part # F142425 you came from would be a nice option for your 94 Lund. From my research I found the 60 hp Evinrude outboards will weigh about 240 lbs each. Adding gear in the boat would probably keep it under 2,000 lbs total.
The # FW142425 has a 3,200 lb capacity and uses a 2 inch strap that is 20 ft long. The winch has 2 speeds and is corrosion resistant.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2014 Chevy Malibu LS to Tow a 16 Foot Jon Boat
- Curt trailer hitch # C12115 is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight so a 16 foot jon boat with 30 horse power motor won't be a problem for the hitch. But for the vehicle you will need to look in the owners manual for the towing capacity. It will likely be lower than the hitch rating. Whichever ends up being lower is the capacity you will need to go by.
The correct ball mount for this hitch is # C45017. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Winch for Scissor Lift Pontoon Trailer
- Because I don't know how your specific trailer is designed with the scissor lift I don't know if the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 2,500 lbs # DL15721 will be large enough capacity to safely lift your 2,800 lb boat and motor.
You may want to consider the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch w/ Automatic Brake - TUFFPLATE Finish - 3,500 lbs # DL24844 which is rated higher and has the enclosed gears and braking mechanism. I've attached video reviews for you to...
