Thanks guys for all the advice. I did get the nut off. I used an extended 1/4 in colbat drill bit. With slow go method I drilled a hole in opposite sides of the nut. Then a with very long screw driver and hammer, gave it a good whack. The nut broke off and the shaft came out. I agree these...

Question! Are these reverse threads on this I've been trying to get ahold of the nut and turn it counterclockwise

I took it to a dealer with the tool and it wouldn't go on. It's like the nut and the end of the shaft are peened over from the broken pieces banging around in there. Then took it to a machine shop. That guy told me with the cost of Labor and no guarantee of not mucking anything else up in there...

Hi all. I'm looking at a 1998 yamaha 60 hp outboard. Its been on a pontoon boat and used about 4 to 6 times a summer. Any opinions on the engine. Things to be aware of.

Thanks for the input LDUBS. This is a newer unit. It dose have the transducer. Even has the plastic film still on the screen. I'll have to ask if there is a map card. I'm not a tech guy either. I'm sure there's a learning curve with the Helix. John

Fishing buddy is wanting to sell this unit for 200.00. Any opinions on this humingbird helix 5 SI unit.

Some friends and I are trying to schedule an Off Shore fishing trip out of Freeport. Any advice on the best time of year to book this trip. Thanks John

Looking at the picture real close. It looks like there some type of locking tabs on the bottom of post. Do you have access from under the deck. You may need to pinch those tabs together to release the post.

Very nice!!
