Hey All - Haven't been here for a hot minute but had a couple of Qs. I've owned a Lowrance LCX-113 on my dash for about 7-8 years now. Works great, no issues. I just picked up a 112 that I'm going to put up front and I would like to network them together for a couple of reasons. mostly to see my...
Motor starts up just fine. Seems to idle just fine. Really boggy on hole shot and takes a good bit to get on plane. Once on plane though, it runs pretty good. Probably running a little low on RPMs at WOT. This issue has gotten worse over time. I'd say about 4-5 years. So I don't think it's a...

Hi there. I have a '89 Mariner 175. Lately it has been really smokey when it idles. Like really bad. I don't know what it could be. It seems to be running fine and doesn't smoke on WOT.
