HewesYourDaddy Posted June 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Put on a Minn Kota CoPilot that a friend sold for cheap. He just got a new iPilot and I had an old tiller handle that I’ve been wanting to upgrade. This will work for a while until I decide if I want to get an IPilot for myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on getting a good deal and having a good friend! You know MK makes conversion kits that turn your copilot into an ipilot. If the motor is in decent shape, it might be a good option. It would definitely increase the value if you ever needed to sell it. https://www.minnkotamotors.com/support/faqs/can-i-add-i-pilot-my-minn-kota-trolling-motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have considered going that route and still may. I can tell you one thing, those new iPilots will hold you on a dime. We fished in the surf today for trout on the beachfront, just outside of the breaking waves. It was rough. I had to anchor, but my friend used his spot-lock on his trolling motor. He didn't move off of his spot in some very rough water. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief5130 Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Noticed some hazing on the hull. After 19 years I guess I cannot complain. Got out the buffer and some polish and went to work. A little over an hour latter, looks like new. Another 45 minutes to add some wax and I am good for another 19 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HewesYourDaddy Posted June 17, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Replaced the original Minn Kota prop with a high performance Kipawa prop. This will be my second trolling motor I’ve made the swap on. Very good performance out of these pieces. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoother running (less vibration or chop than OEM prop), more speed, and Kipawa claims a substantial increase in efficiency with extend run times on a charge. I haven't fully explored the run times between charges, but it does seem I'm using a lot less of my battery charge on each trip. I've turned a few of my friends on to these props and they all seem to be very happy with their performance also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably scratching their heads at what is going on, because I think 3 (maybe more) of their props got shipped to my zip code last week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsflyshop Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 added this meyers pro tackle station to my 2200. Never had much use for the cooler or seat. Can still toss it in there when needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very happy with it - don't have it mounted, it stays put just fine. That's including long runs across a choppy bay, through the pass and fishing the ocean side. It can also go under the leaning post with a smaller cooler next to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
