I am currently in the process of fixing up a small boat to take on the local swamp and river and do some duck hunting with in the fall.
I have already replaced the transom and now am working on the two benches
Here is where the questions is.
I cut out the old rotten seats they were 1/4...
My XPS 5/5 battery charger is blowing fuses on both banks. As soon as I plug in the charger the inline fuses blow.
The batteries are on a 24V system. I have used this set up for quite a while. Just ran into this problem.
The batteries do charge when i put them on a single bank charger.
Any...

Both 60hp motors
Will the lower units and all parts inside interchange between the two year models? or are there significant differences that will prohibit one from working with the other?
I am looking to get a new prop for my boat. I am happy with the current performance of the boat and I am not going to be changing the diameter or the pitch. My question is about brands. Is there any difference between brands and how the boat will react. I understand that two propellers from...
When I take my boat to the water, it takes, what I think too long to start. Seems like it has to turn over alot before it cranks. I make sure than I have the fuel bulb pumped and then I make sure I choke it. Am I missing step to get it to start? I usually have to advance the throttle to make...
My livewell pump needs to be worked on/changed as well as my fill/drain valve. I didn't take a picture of it yet but it sits right above the bilge pump. Which is going to be extremely difficult to get to. I wouldn't mind taking out the gas tank to get access to work on it but the gas tank is not...
I am in the need of a diagram of the water pump so that I can get it back together properly. Does anyone here have one or know where I can find one to put it back together properly.

I'm saving my pennies for a boat sometime in the next month or so.
However, I'm a newbie and don't truely know exactly what I want. I do know that I want a side console with power trim/tilt. I do know that I want to mainly fish out of the boat. Here is my question.
How stable is a 6' wide jon...
