| You know how stuff always goes wrong w/ your first outing of the year- yup! steering cable on trolling motor broke after first 15 minutes up in the east arm of Lake Arbutus. Tried fishing by reaching over bow & turning motor by hand then hit button. But that wasn't to much fun in the rocks, etc. after ~ 15 minutes of that I gave up. However, did have a 19 1/2" Smallie whack a Little Jake (Durst Purple)that I was twitching, beautiful fish. Put a heck of a bow in the rod, great fight, but the old 65lb PowerPro did it's job (first & only fish into the boat this year). Unfortunately didn't see any Muskies in the limited time.
The trolling motor is a circa 1985-89, Johnson 12V/24V w/cable steering. The cable connection snapped in the pedal. Anyone know of a parts source, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
Al Warner
