Has anyone demanded at least a refund of the insane $95 shipping charge? They should do SOMETHING considering the ridiculous amount of waiting and BS we've been through just for one shipment of plastic boats. Quote
John St Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 I bought a Minn Kota Power Center (battery box). It doesn't come with any sort of manual. Inside the box is a little plastic package with four screws and two of some sort of plastic mounting things. Does anyone know what these are for? Quote

TriStateBassin106 Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Interesting developments today coming out of the cabelas camp, got a couple questions answered about the shipping charge and the conflicting restock dates. 1 Quote
John St Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 My boat finally arrived yesterday (ordered May 3), so at least you know they are still manufacturing them; you'll get it eventually. It's very frustrating, believe me I know. I wish I would have had it for the spring fishing season.

I wasn't exactly sure what you meant about the connectors. But do you think this should do the trick? https://www.amazon.com/SEACHOICE-13751-Trolling-Motor-Straight/dp/B000N9MF92/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=trolling+motor+3+prong+plug&qid=1582653610&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-18 I never saw a reply to Neil's question above. Is the product in the link the correct plug choice to splice onto the trolling motor wires? 1 Quote

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I need to ask...I just read a review that said the Bass Raider has 8 gauge wiring. The plug I asked about earlier today (below) says it is 10 gauge. Is that OK that its a larger gauge than the Pelican wiring? I know nothing about anything electrical.

I know nothing about anything electrical. 10 gauge wire is actually smaller than 8 gauge - larger the number, smaller the diameter (speaker wire is usually 18 gauge for reference). Depending on how much current you're running and the distance between the battery and the motor - the larger the diameter of wire the better. I'd find a plug with 8 gauge wire instead of that one.

Bassin4Fun2 Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 I am planning helping my friend build a casting deck for his pond prowler. It looks like the most common size of plywood to use is 3/4”. We would like to make it as light as possible so is it necessary to add any bracing under the plywood for added strength? Thank you for your help. Quote
Born 2 fish Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 The wait is over.It’s in my garage I picked up my boat after work today! 2 Quote

TriStateBassin106 Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Why does cabelas keep saying different things? We're lucky if we get our boats by august when the season is %@$#ing over! At this point i'll take this over the wait for the bass raider.... 1 Quote

oysterk Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 @Born 2 fish @John St for you bass pro guys who just got your boat, I was just wondering; did y'all get email confirmation that the boat shipped before receiving it? Quote

You can check your order # mine said it was shipping. And a few days later I got a email saying my order is ready for pick up. But I did pick up at store. I did not have it shipped to my house. Quote
