Yeah I watched a few video reviews on this boat and yours so far is the best. Even though you were wearing your wife’s shorts and shoes, they kinda matched. Really enjoyed you taking your time to show us the mods including the handle issue. Super helpful! The biggest piece for me was that you actually took the time to video yourself having a great time doing what we enthusiast love….. Fishing. Looks like you had fun brother! Thanks for sharing.
Just got a 10' prowler for the fam. Close to the same setup except I have the 45 thrust. We are right in the middle of tons of lakes to hit. We are all very excited. Great video, really like the chapters.
yea, I super appreciate your input. I have gone back and done that, and plastic welded the old holes back up. Thanks for watching and caring enough to reach out.
I have this exact boat, why didnt you just use SAE connectors and adapt to the harness up front for this exact purpose. Wires are already there going to the back where the battery hold down is.
Wish I knew that was a possibility. I tried looking up videos of wiring up bow mount trolling motor for pond prowlers and couldn't find anything at the time. Since I got the boat 2nd hand I also only had a plug hole up front I had no idea what I could plug into that I have the wires at the back side but I thought maybe there were accessories that could be plugged in but didn't know what terminal to put in that hole.... I wanted to get on the water, so that was the fastest way I could find at the time. I also don't have a basspro near me to stop in and go look at them, but it works maybe some one else had the same issue I did. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Dang, I wish you could have, haha. I had no idea I was going to mount it at the top, but I didn't think it would make it into the water even though it seems so close 😅.... well, next time, this was trial and error... thanks for watching ❤
@@GeekGeezerFishing awesome, I'm gonna get one soon myself. Thinking about making a dolly for it like my kayak wheels. If not a homemade trailer out a mower trailer.looking forward to seeing your content brother.
So I went to an electrical supply house, and I got a direct burial connection. Once I tightened and heat shrunk it, I think it's water tight enough.... it is not marine grade but figured it is better than electrical tape.
another new video I've not seen yet so I will subscribe to your channel a great video today looking foward to seeing more of them love to you and yours frome paul in p.a
Haha... great question...As far as I know it worked before I pulled out the handle. I never even tested it before I pulled out the handle it was brand new. I was simply pulling out the handle Because I thought you could pull out that handle.But I found out when you remove that handle. It actually smashes internal components which I was on aware of. And I thought I would share it with people even though it makes me look a little stupid. But that way no one else makes that same mistake.
Fellow tucsonian I've got a 10.5 ft bass hound all set up with graph, 40 pd trust troller and a 2.3 hp gas motor also. even installed a custom canopy on it. Bad little boat gets me on the water pretty much everywhere. I have a small 4×6 ft trailer that I don't use anymore I can sell you for cheap if you're interested
No I'm not selling my boat or it's trailer. But I do have a early 2000's 4 ft by 6 ft trailer I don't use anymore i'd sell for $200 that would be perfect for that pond prowler. Or hell I'd give it to you for a day on the lake with some like minded peeps.
They do have a plug there but I don't have anything to plug into it? I suppose you could buy a plug and wire the trolling to that. Great idea. The guy I bought the prowler from said that plug was to plug in lights so I didn't even think about it as an option for the trolling. Thanks for your comment and question. Tight lines 🎣.
Very bad video can hear what you are talking about but you are not showing anything that you are talking about. Otherwise, you are okay! Sincerely! R.S.V.
This video is long we know check out our chapters so you can find exactly what you are looking for thanks for watching. ❤ 🎣 💪

Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching!! Glad you enjoyed the video. Despite the wardrobe choices. Lol
Nice to see you get the install of the Striker 4 up and running. Too bad about the trolling motor, but glad you got it all together in the end.
Yeah. The trolling motor was a bummer, but glad how everything turned out!! Thanks for the continued support!!

Thank you so much for checking out the video. We are hoping to do more fishing from ours, now that we have it set up
@@GeekGeezerFishing I am subscribed now so I am hoping to see the videos!
Like your video, may I add that you should lose silicone when drilling the holes I have one too, had a few years and water will get in.
yea, I super appreciate your input. I have gone back and done that, and plastic welded the old holes back up. Thanks for watching and caring enough to reach out.
I'm thinking about getting one of these. I like what you've done with it, the platform is especially cool.
Thanks!! I love mine. The platform is a game changer. Thanks for watching!!

That scotty xducer mount is designed to go on a horizontal surface! I so badly wanted to stop you from drilling those holes!

Appreciate your input. Thanks for watching.. 🙏
Really wish someone would've stopped me from pulling out that trolling motor handle 😢
great stuff brother i so want one myself
Greatly appreciate your time thanks for watch. If you pull the trigger splurge and get the 10 footer I'd like the extra room.
great stuff bro
Greatly appreciate your time thanks for watch hoping to get the prowler out alot soon hopefully getting a trailer.

What wire connection kit trolling motor to jumper cable are you using and where did you buy it?
So I went to an electrical supply house, and I got a direct burial connection. Once I tightened and heat shrunk it, I think it's water tight enough.... it is not marine grade but figured it is better than electrical tape.
Great video watch all I see.....
Thanks so much for the support!!

Thank you for watching!! Thank you for the support!! Hope you and yours stay heathly and happy!
So what was the initial reason the trolling motor didnt work before you destroyed it?
Haha... great question...As far as I know it worked before I pulled out the handle. I never even tested it before I pulled out the handle it was brand new.

Thanks for watching hope you find that boat a hone. Trailer separately from boat?
Bass hound for sale?
No I'm not selling my boat or it's trailer. But I do have a early 2000's 4 ft by 6 ft trailer I don't use anymore i'd sell for $200 that would be perfect for that pond prowler. Or hell I'd give it to you for a day on the lake with some like minded peeps.
@@GeekGeezerFishing yes trailer is separate not selling my boat or trailer , but I have one I don't use anymore would fit that bad boy perfect.
I really like that boat man
Thanks man!! It's an awesome little fishing vessel.
Is Parker Canyon Lake still open?
Yes. There was a bass tournament there last weekend
I thought the wires were already pre ran on those boats so you don’t have to run a cable all the way to the back
They do have a plug there but I don't have anything to plug into it? I suppose you could buy a plug and wire the trolling to that. Great idea. The guy I bought the prowler from said that plug was to plug in lights so I didn't even think about it as an option for the trolling. Thanks for your comment and question. Tight lines 🎣.

Appreciate your feedback 👍
Bro you ruined a good 55 thrust trolly I can’t watch anymore.
Ordered the parts and got it fixed. A lesson learned. Lol. Hope you find your way to watch the rest.
@@GeekGeezerFishing I did dude sorry about that. lol
Very bad video can hear what you are talking about but you are not showing anything that you are talking about.
