Thanks for that Brine, and no disrespect to Bluewater. These came from oznium.com. They are focused toward the auto accessory business. They do have a great selection I.e.LED strips from 2 inches to 6 feet long in a choice of 8 colors, and it all could be applied to marine applications. Also...

Thanks guys. Once I figured out how I was lying them all out, it was a fairly simple install. Unfortunately Bluewater didn't have exactly what I wanted, but since they are a sponsor here, I wont plug where I got them. Do a google search of LED strips and it is one of the first links. Here are a...

Dave, I bought the unit. I havent been on the water enough to play with it, but I think I will like it. Nice, big color screen. It has all of the configuration options that one would want to dial in on the fish. As far as GPS, I don't know. It was not advertised as a GPS unit. IT does have a...

Picked up a few LEDs just to check them out. I really like the result. I bought 2 4" strips each in white, UV (blacklight) and blue. and 4 high intensity single LED spotlights. The wiring got a little messy but nothing a few wire ties and wire loom won't fix. Here is the result. Whites: These...

The way that the negative cable ran thru the pedal before finally connecting to a terminal that was almost impossible to get to with my big fat hands and fingers. I bought the power cable from the said company. They provided big heavy duty butt connectors that I used. I then shrink tubed the...

I'm not sure on the oil tank, I purchased this boat knowing the alarm problem thinking it would be a simple fix. I here is the link to my motor, https://www.marinepartsplus.com/catalog/mariner/serial/50_3_CYL/+16404. I have looked thru every category and see nothing on a thermostat. I am...

I'm not seeing what the picture is showing. Here is a photo of the opposite side of the motor: And here is the only purple wire I see, and it is labeled as VIO

Here are some pics.. I'll try to explain what we are looking at and what I have done. I'm not very mechanically inclined so I appolgize for the vague/inaccurate descriptions. Motor Cover, 83 Mariner 50HP 3Cyl Right side of motor, notice the top lefthand side, closer photo next Notice right...

My 1983 50HP 3cy 2 stroke has that incredibly irritating alarm. From what I have been told the alarm goes off in 3 cases. 1. not enough oil. (oil system is currently bypassed and mixed manually 50:1) 2. Overheating due to no water being pumped. Brand new impeller and peeing like normal. 3...

Hey Dave.. I opened the TM pedal and it appeared to be more trouble than I was willing to deal with. (I would imagine a new TM is not too far into the future) I did find a company in Brunswick GA that would make me a new power cable that I could use. They do it right like mentioned above with...

Thanks for the info guys, on the battery side that would work excellently. However, the wires coming out of the motor (pedal) have been trimmed and cut so many times that all I have is a 1 foot section left. Would it be easier to find butt connectors and extend the current section, or start new...

I need to rework my trolling motor power cables. Looking through my local hardware store I couldn't find a crimp style connector large enough for the 6 guage wire. What are you guys using. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, it is very fishable as is. I have a couple of new graphs that I am installing. The front trolling motor needs to be reworked a little. I may bite the bullet and buy a gator mount or perhaps bite a bigger bullet and buy a minn Kota. Either way I need to mount it correctly as it is not...

Thanks for the info Bassboy, you're right on the money 5 pin connector. I assume with the running lights powering the solenoid, with the lights off, the solenoid doesn't engage? The pin I'm not sure of. I havent noticed a place to do this. I will take a closer look tomorrow when it's light.

I have been reading this forum, and keeping my eye on the classifieds. After much thought and a few delays I finally got my tin can. Shes a 1983 Bass attacker by Sea Nymph. She is 16'6 long and 48" bottom 70" beam. Its a great stable fishing platform. She is sitting on a 2004 shorelander with...
