Well my patience finally paid off. A few weeks ago I found a 30lb MK for $80, the guy even brought it to me. Dave at Buck's bags set me up with a mount. Battery, battery box, and that little foot-switch thing, and I'm good to go.
Did the registration / invasive sticker-and Oregon's sticker, since I'll be fishing Owyhee this year. Now I just need to put the numbers together & mount it to the boat.
And buy a charger. I dunno how I forgot that, but I have gotten in a couple of short trips already. The motor started sounding tired at the end, so I doubt I can get another trip until I recharge.
I need to "relace" the straps on my frame too. the previous owner has the pontoon straps laced between uprights on the frame, so I have to completely undo & redo them to move my frame forward enough. Right now it's a little heavy in the butt, which seems to make my boat want to spin like a top LoL.
Thanks for all of the tips FG & Ron!
