    2001 Lowe Roughneck 1752 upgrades

    Bought a 2001 Lowe 1752 with a 1 year old outboard. Didn't have to do a ton of work to it but still plenty to keep me busy during the off season. 1) Added LED lights up front and added a BlueSeas fuse block and switch panel in the back. Used a box from menards to house the block and switch so...

    mercury 60/40 rattle noise at idle

    I have a 60/40 jet that rattles at idle. When I given it gas the noise goes away but comes back when idling. You can hear it especially during the last 5 seconds of the video. https://youtu.be/ZJ5RAg4gttA I have read that it could be the impeller hitting the intake liner because the impeller...

    Is this okay- gas and battery

    Are these too close? I figure they aren't contained so fumes won't build and I will have an onboard charger so won't be connecting or disconnecting frequently.

    Transom reinforcement

    The engine mount bolts on top of my transom were sinkng in a bit. After determining the wood in my transom was still solid I decided to just reinforce it. There were also a few holes from a previous motor which I sealed up with 3m 5200. The current motor is a mercury 60/40 jet. There are...

    Replacing this transom impossible?

    So this is a 2001 Lowe roughneck. The transom is still in good shape (checked the wood through the motor mount holes) but I am thinking a few years down the road it will need replaced. I have done a transom on my other boat before and while it wasn't easy, it was doable. This boat is mostly...

    Can I cut a hole here?

    I want to add room for a battery. I know it will fit if I can cut a hole here but don't want to weaken the deck. I included a picture of what it looks like under there too. There are walls on both side under there which should provide support? Thanks.

    Anchor winch and trolling motor- same battery?

    I have a 12v Minn Kota 55lb bow mount and a 12v river Larry anchor winch. I am wondering if I can run these off the same battery or is that a bad idea? I have never used the anchor winch so I have no idea how much juice it will take up.
