short answer is no. A black box applies voltage to your downrigger wires which would normally be in very low or even negative voltage condition on an aluminum boat. Long answer is complicated and difficult to address in the context of this forum. A good start is to think of your aluminum boat as...

My vote is for the Scotty. Have had mine on a 22' Bayrunner for over 10 years. It cured my "hot boat" problems, and allowed me to get in on one of the last great king salmon seasons off the N. Coast. Now use it on a glass boat fishing for Kokanee three or four times a week. So far not even a...

I will make it 3 votes for the Okuma SST, they are noodle rods, fiberglass not graphite, lots of guides and load up great on the dr, bought two this year and teamed them with Tica 100's, great setups for kokes, definately got more fish to the boat with the soft action. Used Daiwa Spinmatics for...

Just a boat ride Hey Mechdawg, believe me, been there done that, you are just wasting gas. If you want to see the effect your .22 voltage is having on fish, just increase your set back from your release to your lure to 150 ft. If you are lucky your lure may be far enough from the low voltage...

We have checked our voltages and are running about .17 for whatever that is worth.

Thanks for the info. We may have to take you up on your offer next time we come down. Your voltage is way to low. Should be between +.6 and +.65 for kokanee. You would have a great boat for Mako shark. If you have an aluminum boat you have what the commercial guys call a "hot" boat. Not only...

I had several of these show up in my 23' bayrunner's motorwell. These kind of cracks are almost always the result of stress at that area and a patch of JB weld or any other adhesive alone will not be as strong as the original aluminum. Plus any adhesive repair would have to be removed completely...
