So the tilt on my outboard works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. When not working if I push the button either way I don't hear the relays click. It works every time I run power direct from the battery to the blue/***** or green/white and ground wires on the relays though. Are my relays bad?
I'm getting ready to sell my boat and I'm trying to get the outboard running properly. It has been sitting for over 2 years, but today I got it running pretty good. The only problem is at idle the jet on the top carb is constantly pouring gas out and none is coming out the bottom. Is this a...
I have a Monark 1660 Jon boat and I don't use it a lot(maybe 3-4 times a year), but the deck on it is very small and I would like to extend it so that I can mount a seat up front. Should I use marine plywood or pressure treated plywood with a lifetime warranty? I know marine is probably the...
I just got done fabbing a mount for my new Powerdrive V2. I had to take everything off of the factory bracket and I don't think I got something back together correctly. The lever that is used to release the pin so that the trolling motor can be pulled out of the water is loose. It has no...
I just purchased a PowerDrive V2 45lb thrust. The wire on the motor is 10ga and I was wondering if there would be a problem with me running 10ga from the motor to the back of the boat approx 20' of wire. I already have the 10ga wire so if there's no problem using it then that would be great.
Will this work? Basically I want to use one battery as a trolling motor battery and the other as a starting battery. The two batteries will be separated via a battery kill switch. When the switch is turned on and the batteries are connected will both be recharged by the boat motor? Also do...
Re: How to get my boat to stop porpoising...
It's doing both with the whale tail. I haven't removed it from the new motor because it was so hard to get it to plane out with the 75hp I just figured it needed it on there.
I've had the boat up in the air when I painted it and everything appears...
My 16ft Monark modified-V aluminum boat has a BAD problem with wanting to bounce out of the water even if the water is smooth. I originally had a 75hp motor on it that didn't have power tilt/trim and I had a bad problem with it not wanting to plane off so I installed a whale tail. Since then...
Took the boat out and ended up loading it on the trailer with the trolling motor :mad:
When I put the boat in gear it moves forward VERY SLOWLY. When I put it into reverse it seems to go into gear.
When I got home I took the prop off and noticed that I could turn the splined part inside the...
I'm finally about finished with this motor. It has power trim and I just noticed there is no tilt lock on it. There are two levers on both sides that are connected to each other by a hollow shaft with two cotter pins in it. Below I have two pictures of what they look like when flipped up and...
I just put a newer motor on my jon boat and am going to sell this one. From what I've read it's a fairly popular model (the orange one). It runs good; however, the hood has been painted green and the rest flat black so it's not in mint condition as far as aesthetics go. The power head is...
okay now that my ignition troubles are solved and I'm getting spark (btw the middle cylinder isn't sparking, but I'm thinking that's just a bad coil.). The engine isn't getting any gas. Both carbs have gas in their bowls, but none is getting out. I took both carbs out and cleaned the jets...
