    Having issues with my heading sensor as well–jog feature wont work. Everything worked fine last year. My heading sensor wont link up with my trolling motor and blue light wont come on every 3 seconds showing the pairing connection. When i try to bluetooth connect again i get the rapid blinking blue light on the puck and when i press the connect button on my Ulterra it wont connect. Any thoughts? I am guessing i need a new sensor. I can connect my phone app to run the trolling motor through bluetooth with no problems but also no jog feature works on the app either.

    Am guessing I found my issue. Seals are gone causing me the issues.

    Same issue with electrolysis today with fuses out of the charger leads. Any trouble shooting tips of where to start with this one? Again absolutely no issues on the Uterra. Could the vantage have some bad electrical going on inside it to have caused this?

    It was tricky. Push them in and rotate backwards. You will be able to feel the point where the arms pop out/unlock. I did spray a little lube in them before I started

    It was super easy. Follow Dutchboy’s link from above and it walks you thru it.

    Arms off and first generation covers in place. This will do for now…I’m sure I will tweak it but these are the parts/pieces I had laying around the shop

    Thanks for the comments. I recently was able to turn my optima starting battery sideways and push to the back of the compartment. This allowed me to get a new house battery with 210 min RC in the compartment. This is an additional 50% more RC than I had before. I believe I should be set from here on out.

    The optima just fits sideways allowing the larger house battery to fit in.

    The batteries can be accessed without removing the charger

    Sorry for the confusion. 1 starter and 1 house

    My boat came pre-rigged with the 3-prong round but still needs a bit of a twist to completely engage. Male end was included.

    Not sure of the guage of wire but will attach some pics

    All breakers were in place and located near the batteries in the storage area below the rod locker

    Just recently I modified my battery set up and was able to turn a blue top Optima starting battery sideways and push all the way to the back of the compartment. This allowed me to get a group 31 with 210 min reserve capacity to run all accesories-pumps & 3 Helix 9’s I am running genious single chargers for the 2 house baterries (AGM and Wet like to be charged at different rates) And also have a 3 bank Genious charger for trolling batteries

    Never use the arm rests. Chair is just a bit bulky for my liking

    Raising the motor will probably make the blow out worse. I would wait till break in is done and test a few props first.

    You may just have a blown fuse for your live well? I believe the cooler drains into the bilge and gets pumped out if need be or when you pull the plug at the end of the day

    The Helix 10’s will fit. They are the same size as the 9’s. I drilled a hole in the center of the mount that came with the units and ran a bolt thru. This allows me to rotate as i see fit. Stability of units is not a problem. I had a 185 Tiller before this and did the same mounting procedure, solid as can be. The TrailerTux rock guard is new to me but have a few friends that use them. In my mind one of the best products out there. Time will tell.

    -25 up here in Canada and getting cabin fever. Thought I would show the finished product. Had our local deck guys wrap the mounting board in vinyl. Cheers
