After breaking one of the blades off of my 1998 trolling motor I was shocked to see that props are no longer available... they havent been for 7+ years.
Ther model number for this unit is HBFL2G. 99. Not only is it not available, but it is a right hand propeller which makes it even harder to...
Like working on cars or anything else, sometimes it's nerve racking. You guys make this a great place to have fun while you are learning and sharing ideas that make all of our lives easier.
Thanks again!
Success! motor raises up and lowers down with ease and not a drop of leaking fluid.
1. I would strongly suggest anyone attempting to do this to use OEM parts. All I gained was experiance disassembling and reassembling the unit by using cheap parts.
2. Answering my own question... Yes. you can...
This is the same type tilt that is on my 50 HP.
Now that I am thinking about it, the ram will have to be extended in order to get to the fill plug once it is installed on the motor. I guess the question should be, should I at least put some oil in it before I install it on the motor?
OEM is on it's way. I will probably start another thread with a few questions concerning this. Hopwfully it will help others trying to rebuild one.
Thanks for your input!
I cheated as well only I think I used a set from amazon...really not sure because that is the only receipt that somehow didnt make it into my boat folder. Regardless, the unit worked fine for about two weeks... Now it blows fluid out of the top especially when lowering the motor. I guess I will...

Five Star Marine has a rebuild kit listed that they say is modified with better seals than OEM. Have any of you had any experiance with these? Should I just stick with OEM?
Here is the breakdown drawing of this puppy...

The part number for this control is Evinrude/Johnson #0176917. It is long since obsolete. The years listed for this are 1999-2007, though I found a breakdown drawing of the same animal dated 1993.
After getting it removed from the boat and putting it in a vise, I found that if I pushed and held...
I found this link that kinda helps with the disassembly.
I will follow up with what I found shortly. A thinderstorm is starting and I want to turn off this computer until it passes over...
My throttle is hanging up in neutral. If I take a screwdriver and gently pry out on the base of it, I can shift it into gear. I can find no identification on it of any kind. This is on a 1999 Lowe FM 160. It looks like I might have to disassemble half of the boat to get behind it. Have any of...
