    Finally ordered the new Sonar

    My bass tracker came with a very very basic finder which quit working. So I finally ordered the new one. A Humminbird 598ci HD SI. By ordering each piece separately It was only $508 ihncluding shipping. And since I just sold the old Jon boat for $500 my wallet is only $8 lighter. Probably...

    Smartcraft monitor on 2010 30hp 4 stroke

    Re: Smartcraft monitor on 2010 30hp 4 stroke I pulled the side console off and unless it's hidden the motor does not have a connector for connecting smartcraft components. So unless I can figure out where this connects i won't be installing anything Which is odd since the quicksilver catalog...

    Smartcraft monitor on 2010 30hp 4 stroke

    Mercury/Quicksilver tank pickup tube

    I found this today and figure it can't be good. I was actually checking the float on the gauge when I found it. It is a quicksilver 6.6 gal. I can't find any breakdowns for the tank. Only listing is for the entire tank assy. I was thinking apiece of 3/8 fuel line just wasn't sure if the...

    I bought a bass tracker Monday and the seller told me the trolling motor just quit on day. Didn't try to hide it or anything. So I get it home and last night decided to figure it out. First thought is connections at the deep cycle battery. Well that was close. Found this. It had a 30 amp fuse...

    30hp 4-stroke operation

    Just got this on a bass tracker and do not have an operators manual. Could someone answer a few questions. It is a 2010 console steer. What is the little red light on the front? Lights on start up then goes out after a few seconds. Thinking it is oil pressure but not sure. It seems the ECU...

    Fuel line sizing

    I think I know the answer but figured I'd ask any way to be sure. I finally got the hard gray attwood line off the new to me pontoon. The hose bulb and engine end fitting were 5/16. The fitting at the pontoon gas tank is 3/8. That kind of makes since since the boat is rated up to 75 hp. But...

    Fuel Line selection

    My recently acquired pontoon has a built in tank. The fuel line from the tank to motor is grey, stiff and marked attwood Canada no other markings. I do know it is 5/16. So any way I spent last night reading many opinions on fuel line, everything from "only gray line is approved for outboards"...
