Got the motor mounted and the transducer installed. The instructions to install the transducer were pretty clear so i just followed what they said and mounted it up. I predrilled the holes in the mounting plate prior to screwing the transducer in place, I taped off the drillbit to ensure i...

Update: I ended up ordering a new fuel filter cap and gasket, slow speed adjustment knob and changed the plugs and oil. The shift handle was out of sync and the carb needed cleaning as well as the tilt/trim bracket needed a little work. I took it to a place here in San Antonio called A Plus...

Thanks for the replies, i appreciate the input from everybody. Here are a couple of pics of the transducer mounting bracket that I bought from Bass Pro. I haven't put the fish finder on it yet but i plan to this week and i'll upload pics of that too. I think it came out nice, I ended up JB...

Thanks for the movie! i tried searching youtube earlier but thought i'd post here too. It stays out all the way most of the time, sometimes it'll go back in.

Well i ended up buying it, but I didn't see this post until now haha. It's a 1969 9.5 Sea Horse. I did what you said and rocked the powerhead back and forth and there isn't much of any play. What is it that i'm looking for? Thanks for your input! I appreciate any i can get on this old thing...

Is it just the two bolts that sit on each side of the spool? Or do i have to unscrew the flat head bolt that's in the center also?

I've read about the end slipping out and i'm hoping that's it. No i haven't pulled that apart yet. The fuel filter cap has a crack so i couldn't get much farther in my testing without fuel spraying everywhere after priming the line. I just picked up the motor yesterday. So far i've ordered...

Hello, I recently purchased a 1969 Johnson Sea Horse 9 1/2 hp Outboard and i'm trying to get it up and running as much as I can on my own. The engine sounds like it wants to turn over but the pull cord doesn't retract. Which part do i buy to fix that? I've looked around but i'm not certain...

How do those green drop lights work? Badass boat man! Love Trackers

Thanks, i agree. My plan is to buy the motor and maybe use it for a month or less and attempt to trade it out at a boat shop here in town for a smaller motor. I also read bad reviews about those Sears Gamefisher motors and backed off the idea of that. Thanks for bringing up good points.

That's exactly what I was thinking. They're asking $100, with title, said it was running when he got his new motor. I figure even with tuning it up i could make a decent profit on it and resell to buy the one i want. Thought the same thing about trying it on while i had it.

Thanks for the response. I was only entertaining it because it's a really good deal and I'm in the market for a motor and i'm getting a little impatient waiting for the right deal to come along. I'm just gonna keep my eye out for a 3-5hp motor.

I'm in the market for a motor and I found a really good deal on a Johnson 9.5, however the rating on my boat shows 3hp. I know this sounds like a dumb question given that the rating is provided, but does anybody have any experience with this? I'd only be using it to get around to my fishing...

Yep! Thanks for the heads up.

Nice! I'll have to take a look at Cabela's, appreciate the info.

This man at Bass Pro who sold me my fish finder recommended JB Weld two part epoxy, i bought the 12" transducer mounting board and the JB Weld but i'm hesitant to try it, debating returning what I bought and figuring out something smaller myself with the recommendations i've read here and what...

Thanks for the input, that's a good point. I'll be getting a trailer for it soon, but until then i'll make sure to keep an eye on the transducer when in transport. I ended up going with the Garmin Striker 4 Sonar/GPS which i'll install during the week. Good to know about the suction mounts.

Hello, new here, just got a Tracker 1036 a couple of days ago and i'm ready to start adding a few things to it. Can i add a fish finder or is the boat too small? I know it's a small boat but i got a great deal and its my first Jon boat. Maybe some members can share theirs with pics. I've done...

Hello, new here, and I just purchased a Tracker 1036. I've read through the whole thread but a lot of the pictures are removed due to age. Has anybody here decked their 1036? Can you share pictures please? I'm still searching and it's a big site so i'd appreciate any help. Thanks! I'm...
