Hey guys, I bought an aluminum bass boat a couple years back and after about a year the butt connectors for the trolling motor got hot, melted the jackets and shorted out. I replaced the fuse, put in new connectors with heat shrink tubing over the top. Problem solved..... until recently (about...
So I am trying to hook up a tach on my 2011 Lowe Skorpion with a Mercury Jet Outboard. I believe that I have found the wires to hook up but they are on the engine and I will need to run them up to the console. How would I run one or two wires thru the cowling to get into the boat? I don't...
I bought a tach for my 2011 Lowe Skorpion with a Mercury 60/40 jet outboard.
I was under the impression that i hook up a gray wire to (SEND) on the gauge but I don't have a solid gray wire behind the dash (I only see one gray/blue, and one gray/green).
I think I have the ignition wire...
So I bought a tach for my 2011 Lowe Skorpion with a Mercury 60/40 jet outboard.
GND/IGN/SEND
Ground is easy, I got that. I believe I have found the wire (orange) to hook up to IGN. SEND is the question: What wire do I hook up to that one? I was under the impression that it was a gray...
So i bought a brand new Lowe Skorpion 16' aluminum boat last year with a 60 HP jet mercury outboard.
I do a lot of shallow river fishing up here with a high risk of hitting submerged objects. I have hit quite a few rocks without any problem but on one occasion last summer my dad borrowed...
sorry, i know there have been a bunch of these posts but the search didn't provide many answers for me.
so i bought a new bass boat this year (2011 lowe skorpion, 60/40 mercury jet outboard), and it didn't come with any gauges. so i want to at least have a tach (so i can get more hp out of the...
I mainly use mono line but recently tried out some fluorocarbon and i had a real hard time with the knots holding. is this normal? is there a good knot that i should be using for fluorocarbon line? I forget what the knot is called that i use but its named after one of the line manufacturers...
I'm looking to buy an aluminum bass boat soon (Feb-Mar). I never owned an outboard before but I have been doing some research. I am sure I will want to take the boat out as soon as we get a few warm days.
Will I hurt anything by taking it out early in the year when temps will go back to...
I am looking at buying my second boat. I want a fishing boat that I can fish in tournaments, mostly on the river... I would also like to take it on the lakes too. I will be "beaching" the boat on the edge of the river, for sure. Of course, I don't want to tear up the hull and will be as...
I was fishing from the bank of the Susquehanna river in Northeast PA Saturday morning and I hear a big splash. It was only about 2 feet out in shallow water (6"). So I walk over and a few minutes later it splashed again about 25 feet up the shore from where it last did. It kept splashing around...
Last year I had a cracked block on my Mercruiser 120 so I had it replaced with an old block that was just sitting in the mechanic's garage for a few years. After I got it back i took it out on the lake it was having trouble getting up to top speed (sometimes it would pick up and go, and...
i got another question for you experts here at iboats: I believe i have a faulty oil pressure sender. i get no reading on the gauge and the gauge is brand new (old gauge didnt get a reading either). i looked in the service manual and all i could find is how to check the resistance to verify...

1. My engine keeps overheating. i suspected the water impeller so i took it apart and found that it looked brand new! i backflushed the hoses and everything looked good. i took apart the t-stat housing only to find out i didn't have a...
I have a 1980 Galaxy with a mercruiser 120 and one drive.
