Here's a picture of the bow again with me sitting in the chair on the deck looking down at the foot control. Now you can see the hinge the control is sitting on and the vertical door underneath the trolling motor for storage. What's everyone's thought's and ideas for some kind of quick release...

The reason I went with cable drive a few years ago is because I like to be able to put my foot on the pedal, and know exactly where my trolling motor is pointing without looking down. But I was just using a butt seat on the front where now I have a bucket seat. So might wish I had a stronger...

Here's a picture of the front of my boat. Must be my dominator is a bit older that the front deck changed a little. You can see the front storage compartment but not the battery box below the foot pedal. Bad picture taking on my behalf. But what I've found since getting the newer trolling motor...

Yes, the deck is carpet. It's an all original boat. I'll have to take some pictures tonight to more clearly define the issue I believe I'm going to have on the water. I think the foot control is going to be too close to the pedestal on the deck without being completely attached to the deck and...

So I just bought a 1990 Dominator. The trolling motor that was on the boat was a 1991 MK powerdrive. The previous owners stored the foot control away in a compartment after every use. I find that annoying especially with the foot control sliding around on the deck. I have a MK edge 55 I bought...

Thanks for your replies everyone. I just didn't want to call them up and sit on hold for ever if there was something I was missing with being able to just switch transducers or something. Its a pretty useful piece of technology for fishing and thought it was worth the question. Edit. I did...

I bought a boat this weekend. It came with a Helix 5 gps. Can I buy a side imaging transducer and use my current head to show side imaging or do I need an entire new unit? Thanks,

I'm looking at an Alumacraft dominator 16' tiller. It's a 1991 model with a 40 hp johnson. The boat is in pristine shape. Only a little dock rash. Comes with a Helix 5 w/ gps. I'm wondering what you would value this boat at. There isn't too many of these offered in my area and I need to make...

So when I switch around the plug wires then it switches which cylinder dies. Thus I have something wrong with the points/condensers/coils. Which is the best to start? Per my understanding in Leeroys ramblings, this is probably a condenser problem?

So I ran it today and found when the problem started I was able to pull the top plug wire and it still ran the same. When i go out tomorrow I'll swap wires and and test to see if it's a coil problem

I've read all of leeroys ramblings. I'm hoping the idle screw helps

I'm about 95% sure that it isn't winter blend and it is 91 octane. Last night when I was working in the garage i decided to check the air/fuel idle knob that goes to the front housing which allows you to be lean or rich. I found that it was about 3-4 turns out from the recommended 1.5 starting...

Simply enough - I wasn't going to crap in a bucket. I haven't had time to check the coils or heat soak. I'll be trying it out this weekend. Thanks for some good tips and things to look for. I have a new fuel pump diaphragm that I'm going to install before hand just because I ordered it a while...

My 9.9 has me scratching my head. Here's the problem. So I drive across the lake, wide open, the motor runs great. I get to the other side, go to the bathroom, come back and it takes 20 pulls to start the motor. Then taking off, it acts like it is running on one cylinder sputtering but still...

I've had my 9.9 out a few times this year and haven't hardly nudged the fuel in my tank with about half an hour of run time and maybe half of that at WOT. Like said previously, check your prop and see if you have the larger carb. Unless you're pushing a 16' deep v it seams much to me.
