If I ever upgrade to a motor that'll charge my battery, I'll probably add a lot of electronics to mine. But, since I'm starting the motor and running the fish finder on the same deep cycle battery I hesitate to add anything else.
@BadAtHuntingКүн бұрын
Yeah, you definitely don’t want to overburden your battery, and then have it fail. I run a smaller boat too, that has a small lithium battery- not connected to the motor. That way if my electronics die, I won’t be stuck.
@justdoingitjim7095Күн бұрын
@@BadAtHunting I run my LED running lights on a small 3.4 amp/hour sealed lead acid battery that I've ran continuously for 9 hours and never ran it down. Those lithium batteries are lighter, but considering the cost and how little I use my lights, it works for me and the weight difference in a small battery like that isn't even noticeable. Now, if I had to carry it that would be different. My little battery sits in a plastic case under the front seat until needed. It hooks up with two spade terminals and is held in place in the bow with some Velcro. I'm all about making things as simple as possible! If I ever do run down my deep cycle battery I can always pull start it. It's just a 25hp Evinrude, so I'm not stranded if it does run down!

Yeah the entire blind folds onto one side, so you just flip it up, and get out from it. The trouble I did have was for my dog. On every retrieve we’d have to flip the blind over to let him out/back in. Beavertail does sell a ‘dog door’- but we never had one put in.

Some good dove fields are in what is classified as a wetland and require non-toxic shot even if hunting species other than waterfowl that we normally think of with steel. That said, some of the bismuth options are dramatically better than steel and not as expensive as tungsten. They aren’t needed for dove though.

Here's the question - "do the handwarmer pockets fill up with water?" I do not see zippers on those pockets. They look like they would be full of water within a second or two. Many times, I am in water that comes right to the top of the waders (duck hunting)... decoys, a random deep hole, and more. Those side pockets appear to be lower than the top of the waders. Again, if a person is wading in water that is at the top of the wader, will those handwarmer pockets fill with water? I am not concerned about the front zipper pockets; I can deal with those; at least there is a taped zipper for those. As you mentioned, those pockets may get a little damp inside but that's to be expected. It's usually only for a short time so I can take a chance on the zippered pockets. However, if those side handwarmer pockets are wide open with no zipper, they would almost have to flood full of water. Another concern - I'm in the Midwest; in the fall and especially late season, we can get very heavy rain with wind and very heavy snow with wind. At times, conditions can be extreme. Would snow blow into those pockets, if they are not manufactured with a zipper? I can run into a Cabela's or a Scheels and check it but I want to hear from someone who has actually hunted and has actually used those waders hard. I realize that you don't get into snow but this is common sense. It seems that if Sitka manufactures those pockets with no closures... that is a problem. We're talking about $1,000.00 for these waders. If you see this, thank you.

I watched a guy do some testing on all the major bed liner brands and he did a pretty good job, like adding 15 lbs weight to a garden tool and dragging it over the finish so it was reproducible between tests.
