Hmm, I can't imagine that they used the wrong gauge for the motor current draw. It's possible that the plasticizer in the insulation was lost over time (you see that often in older electric appliances, like radios from the 70s, where the cord is all cracked). Newer appliances, well, they're not as old, but they also have better plasticizers and stabilizers. It's also possible that due to repeated flexing cycles some copper strands broke and all the current was flowing through a reduced number of them, creating a hot spot.
I checked online and apparently it's preferred now to either hard-wire trolling motors, or to use plugs instead of alligator clips.
If you just want to keep it the same way you could get something like this 20 amp heavy duty alligator clip cord (I don't know how big your motor is, I saw that an average small trolling motor is 6 amps, so this one should be OK), clip off the banana plugs and splice the cables. But it depends on how comfortable you are in using a motor with such a repair.

Does it light up or make any noises?

No pockets, zipper, etc. That's just a fold down the middle, and the other side is exactly the same.
What I do know is that it came with something I bought, as a bonus freebie, (with no explanation). But it's been so long I can't remember which thing it was.

Yeah--the plug in cord permanently attached to the battery looks much safer to me. I'm just going to reuse the clip I have , cut off the bad section of cord, and solder it to the other leg of the clip. Just need to find some insulation for the second leg of the clip, or buy a new set of clips for 5 bucks. But in the long run getting a safer motor seems wise. OTOH I'm trying to convince my wife that I'm too old and decrepit to be lifting a heavy battery into a rocking sailboat while standing the wake-boarding boat waves.

I'm now taking over/under bets on the 5 year survival of this tree. Before you wager, you should know the following;
- Physics was not my strong suit in high school
- Yes, that's a floor jack
- I used screws AND nails for double the securingness
- The feet are not sunk or otherwise sitting on concrete
- No, I'm not gonna cut the excess off the top of each leg because ....
- And yes, the theme to Sanford and Sons was playing in the background
- Fun was had.

can you define "survival?" 'cause while the big stem looks troubled, it appears that it's sprouting from the roots.

Has the "Skip Ads" button gone missing in the YouTube app for anyone else recently? Some googling shows that this issue has been documented before, but always related to using YouTube on the web in a browser. I can't find anything about it in the mobile app. It's been like this on my phone for about a week now. Phone restart does nothing.
I'm aware that some ads cannot be skipped, that's not what I'm talking about. What's happening is that an ad starts, the "You can skip this ad in 5, 4, 3..." countdown appears, but when the countdown finishes the "Skip Ad" button never appears. It's a minor annoyance when it's a 30 second ad, but a huge PITA when the ad is minutes long.

Just tried it with the youtube app on android 11 and the skip button appeared after the countdown as per normal, so maybe an issue on your device?

Do you wash clothes with DEET in them in the regular wash, or separate/double wash etc?
