Ok, ill grab some 3a and throw them in there, it's not a fish finder though, just one of those old depthfinders. Even though, I would hate to ruin it. Thanks.

Well after talking to some people locally I ended up with 6a fuses for the lights and 7.5 for the depth finder. Seemed to work just fine for this fishing derby. Now to get some toggle switches wired up, and i'll be dialed.

I'll try a 3a. I connected it directly to the battery for a few seconds just to see how deep the water was today. But I dont wanna keep doing it that way. This is a really old school model. It's the ring with the orange line that tells how deep the water is. I tried to post a pic, but taptalk is...

Well, a little update. After reading the leeroy's rambling article that krawler linked for me. I figured out that I had the impellor key in the wrong place. So I re-did the impellor install (correctly this time). Lol Just stuck it in a trash can and ran it for about ten minutes at half throttle...

Just finish wiring my little aluminum boat and need to add fuses. The fuse holder on my lowerance 2100 is old, and crumbled when I took the fuse out to check it. Also I need to figure out what fuse and holder to use for my lights. I have no switches just clamps to connect the battery. Any...

I'm still learning about boats and motors, but I picked up the atwood model from walmart as well. Regardless of other potential problems with your transom itself, the transom saver couldn't be a bad idea. At 27 $ it's a worthwhile investment.

Ace is the place!! That's my favorite place for oddball stuff.

Home depot has 3/4" unibits for around ten bucks. That might be your best bet. Just google "3/4" unibit" and a bunch of shopping results come up. They're perfect for what you're talking about.

Here's a couple. Nothing special, but the trailer is in really good shape. Lights and wiring, wheels and tires are brand new, also the skids. I replaced the wiring, lights and switches on the boat. The 9.9 is at work. But i'll put a couple pics up when I get there.

Great link!! I read about 1/3 of it and think I may have figured out my problem. I think I put the impellor key in the wrong place. Its in the top of the pump housing between the alignment seal. There's a groove in it. My impellor isn't turning. Just hope that doesn't cause more problems!

I agree! Lol

Will do. I brought the motor to work with me this morning thinking I wouldn't have much to do. Turns out I got work now. So I'm gonna have to wait till this evening to tear into it. But as far as lining stuff up. I didn't even check. I just stuffed the shaft up there. Didn't have to force...

How do I know its lined up correctly? I'm gonna pull the lower unit in a little while. The seal on top of the impellor housing was kinda worn when I pulled it the first time. They didn't have one at the marine shop. Im waiting for the whole kit in the mail.

Nice build. Looks like some killer fishin out there too. Your thread is givin me ideas for my little boat!

Cheers!!

I'm kinda sure. The drive shaft spins clockwise right? I watched a you tube video, and did it exactly the way it was done in the vid. When I removed the lower end of the motor to replace the impellor, I found sand in it. I'm kinda thinking the previous owner ran the motor in shalow water...

Hello!! New member and first time boat owner. I am an avid fisherman and go fishing on friends boats all the time and finally decided to purchase a boat to call my own. I'm so exited to have one and have many questions. Now I'm just waiting for my two oldest boys to come up with a name for it. I...

Hey guys, just picked up my first boat. 13' western with a 1981 johnson 9.9 and 1988 johnson 2.5. both motors run strong, the trailer is nice, and the boat is pretty clean. I replaced the impellor and spark plugs in the 9.9 but on my first trip out I think it started to overheat...smoke coming...
