Thanks for making me do this, had more to do then I thought, its now printed and ready to put by boat so I don't forget.

1. Finish install of 10 new 50W RPM Night Rangers on front
2. Check fuses in light control box due to amp increase and make sure big enough now.
3. Finish welding up rail for back, paint and mount 2 110v 50w Night Rangers
4. Mount new 2’ tall Red LED Lights on trailer corners
5. Re-wire the two PM-55 12v in series to make it a 24V output/charging for troller instead of charging each battery separately. I see this is recommended by PowerMax.
6. Find location and mount the two 12/24 battery LED gauges I ordered off eBay to watch troller and light battery levels so I know when to kick on generator… like to run quiet as long as I can.
7. Take boat in and have Battery Warehouse test all my AGM batteries, replace what’s needed.
8. Pull plastic tub out of floor storage box on front deck too see if there is enough room there and under deck to make a bow storage rack/area.
9. Change Oil in lower unit (thanks whoever mentioned this… I forgot)
10. Check trailer bearings (just packed last year)
11. Make some type of spacer rack under seat so everything under seat does not get wet when I wash floor/boat.
12. Look at adding small LED courtesy light by console to see better when stepping up or down to driver console at night.
13. Pull outboard prop and check for and remove any wrapped up fishing line under it… that crap eats up seals.
14. Double check 2 stroke oil in motor reservoir, think I filled it when I winterized it.
15. Check air pressure in boat tires and spare.
16. Restock bug spray, paper towels, extra bottles of water, extra tools, rain gear, extra prop, etc stored under seat. Make sure current registration and insurance cards are in boat folder.
17. Sharpen all my extra tips and put them back on the rail magnets.
18. Check and replace all batteries in the flashlights in the boat.
19. Check all extra bowfishing shafts for splinters or splits, sharpen or replace all tips.
20. Check line on all reels, replace with Monkey Wire if needed, and squirt RPM Accelerator on line.
21. Remember to thank wife for putting up with me and all of this...

How bout rebuilding Trolling motor...is that something people do as a preventative every few years? How much and how hard to that for 24v MK?

Other than that I'm looking at a deck rebuild/revamp and a new set of batteries for the LEDs.

Lost almost all power in mine last year (24v 70 or 75?.. can't remember).. anyways, dropped at Minn Kota authorized repair, new armature, new brushes, prop pin and nut, $200 out door. I know some do it their-selves for less, I was in a hurry to get back on the water and it was way less than a new motor.
