Lol yeah. But I stand by my pressure gauge. It saved me at least getting hot enough to set off the buzzer a time or two. Once when a bag wrapped around the lower unit and once when I ran over a hat I didn't see. But you could also probably say if I wasn't looking at the gauge I might have...
Ok short version.. does the amount of water coming from the two ports at the base of the cowling look normal?
Longer version... Got ready this spring and hooked up the muffs to check it out and it wasn't pumping water. No problem I know it's due an impeller as it's been 3 years since I got...
Funny thing is I just changed jobs and now I rely on ethanol in gasoline for my paycheck. But I still don't want it in my old 2 stroke or in something that will sit for a long time. Luckily we still have one place in town we can get ethanol free gas.
If the plywood that is sitting on the ribs is treated it could be causing the pitting. Certain types of wood treatment have a very bad reaction with aluminum.
Looks like you will have to take the side pieces out to get access to the outboard transom fasteners. Then take out the vertical brace and the piece at the bottom of the transom board and the aluminum sheet should come out letting you remove the old and install a new transom board from the...
I have a Xi3 Bass Pro version (was listed at 52lb thrust vs 55 for regular one... not sure if there is a real difference). First on my 14ft john boat and now on my 17ft sea nymph and love it. Its easy to deploy and retract and once out I just sit at the back and guide it from there. Heading...
I built a couple of lifepo4 batteries and I thought I would share the video on here. I was looking last year and I couldn't find much out there on this chemistry as is pertains to trolling motor batteries. So I did some learning and made a crappy video overview of them. Links to some stuff I...
Hate to add to your learning curve but there are different kinds of lituim battery chemistry. In my opinion lifepo4 or lithium iron phosphate are best suited to our use for trolling motors and onboard electronics. The battle born battery is an example of this type of chemistry. The are not...
Its a pretty big band on the left side... I havent gone by structure on each side to compare them. Life is very busy right now and I havent had time to get it out.
Finally got the unit and tied it out for just a bit. The outboard does indeed get in the way of the side scan. I have seen where people have mounted the transducer under the boat and just take their chances with damaging it. I'm not using side scan very much mainly becasue I don't know what...
Thanks.. Yeah I doubt I'm going to be like wow the sidescan said it was 23 feet and it was actually 25 feet. lol
Yeah that's all I can find too.
Thanks good info. Its going on there one way or another I'd just like to get it right the first time.
