The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I pulled top cover back off and switched the two 12v wires red and white coming out of the control module Prop now turns clockwise. So it will work now. However motor guide says the prop should turn counter clockwise but it's working so I'll be happy 😁
Thanks for your interest.
Bought this motor it was taking off a Ranger. Told it worked fine. I hooked it up two two batteries in series just as I always have with my other 24v motors. It ran and turned as it should. I left it in my shop for over a year. Put it on hooked up would steer but prop didn't turn. Pulled it...
Thank you
I'll look for it I have ran in both for yrs. But I really like this remote control wireless controller. We are. Getting a harbor freight soon bout 20 miles from us but I'll go to Wichita ks next week to Drs usually stop by Harbor freight then anyway
Thank you.

I found a used Tachometer for less than a hundo. Put it in it ran backwards 😂 but worked well backwards. I contacted the shop in Key West it came from luckily he had another tach nicer than the original installed...
I bought a older 2016ish I believe
75lb thrust wireless 24v motor guide trolling motor. Worked fine on bench after I bought it at a auction. Left it in my shop till bout a yr later pulled it out mounted it steering working fine but just humming when trying to run motor with little help it would...
I checked power at the purple wire to volt meter its reading 13.8 -14.5 depending on the rpm just as the charging at batteries read so seams to be good rectifier I did go ahead tried a rectifier but same problem the volt meter reads 18 also on a battery not installed sitting on my bench. I'll...
Tach runs backward to below zero as rpm increases above 1100 rpm. I have b+ purple wire
Gnd black wire
Grey rpm from rectifier ac volts is about 22.5 at 1100rpm then starts running higher up to over 25.4v as I increase rpm just as tach runs backwards I understand I'm not accurately reading the...
Yes I do but their is no water in the engine. It was drained winterized the I drained the antifreeze and haven't ran water back into it or had it in the water since.. That's the confusing part. I'll check the drain on the cover under the bell housing. Hopefully once it's drained and I hook up...
I used speech to text I'll read thru it.
Thanks.
Do you think the water could have ran in from rain drainage thru the hinge on the deck covering the engine?
Hello,
I have a 88 mercruiser 4.3 Chevy inboard
Winterized it two years ago in the fall.
Last August I pulled the starter to see why the last trip out on the water the starter wasn't engaging correctly and was grinding. I had some heart issues so I wasn't able to mess with the boat after I...
Yes. They stay engaged in forward until power is applied to switch between neutral and reverse. My older neighbor didnt refill his lower unit few yrs back tried to back off trailer lol took a few rams of his trailer crank before realizing he needed to call me..No damage done but wishing had a...
Exactly!! However similar that the shift switches add and removes b+ to operate the magnets on the Electra and the hydro changes the B+ to change fluid pressure flow to engage dogs. Simple process. The shifters are not interchangeable!
I have repaired owned and dealt with the same line of engines for yrs. also I just purchased a older 63 Electra shift 40 hp the shift solenoid are similar but use bat+ to change shift direction. Hydra shifts like yours transfer fluid pressure to shift. still very similar to yours Very dependable...
