Thank you CatFan,

I have search and can't find a specific answer to this, one of my trolling motor batteries began having an issue holding a charge, one day after being removed from the charger, one still registered...

Thanks, my hand blocks the red wire but it goes from that rusted breaker and it tied in to the orange wire going into the fuse holder. I don't have high end electronics, Lowrance Hook 2 7inch in the...

Thanks, so if I purchase the breaker I can eliminate the in-line fuse right?

1998 187 single console. Was fishing yesterday and my depth finder on the front stopped working, checked the console and both of them were off and the Main Power switch wasn't lit. Checking the...

So, 99.5 percent of the time I fish alone and I am thinking about adding a Talon to the boat. As we know, these champs sit pretty low in the water in the back and I am...

Thanks Tx Champ, I have decided to store the new charger and keep using the original, I was going to ask about what size in-line to use. Why do the new ones come with fuses on Positive and negative?

UPDATE
It appeared that the previous owner put two "economy" interstate Cranking (not deep cycle) batteries on the trolling motor, I guess to save money to sell the boat and I left my trolling motor...

Bought the boat in April but only have had it in the water twice. I have tested the charger and it is bad, the original 1998 champ charger so it lasted longer than I would have thought it would. I...

Thanks Champ, the boat has a Minn Kota Maxxum Pro 80 Lb Thrust that is in great working order so no upgrade yet. I located it in a easy spot to get to.

Thanks, just ordered one.

looks like 2. Replacing the breaker I put it between the positive post and trolling motor right?

Went out today to clean the boat and charge the batteries and when I plugged the charger in it sounds like it is working but no lights come on and when I checked the...

Thanks, I am planning to order a Rapid Jack with 6 inch setback.

I have been checking it very close before and after every trip, thinking a Bob's machine or rapid jack. Bob's offers one piece or 2 piece, which would be better? Also, if I am not worried about...

I recently purchased a 1998 187 that is in really good overall condition. I posted a while ago and one of the first things suggested is to get ride of the Rite Hite jackplate that appears to be an...

Search and didn't find a answer so sorry if this is already covered somewhere else. I recently bought a 1998 Champion 187 and it has a Lowrance LMS 480 already on it with the transducer on the...

Thanks, the local marine store didn't have any 5/16 in stock, another reason I went 3/8. I replaced all connectors with stainless. What type should I use on the pulse pump? The 3/8 is marine USCG/EPA...

Thanks Joe, I replaced all of the zip-ties with Stainless hose clamps and have no leaks and the bulb is staying firm. I found a splice when replacing where it looked like the prior owner reduced 3/8...

Would running 3/8 fuel line from bulb to motor cause any issues? I bought 3/8 because I checked the size on the piece between tank and bulb and didn't see that...

Well, spark was good on all 6 but I did find that the hose going in to the electronic fuel pump was leaking and partially collapsed allowing pressure to drop. Changed the line and pressure stays up,...

I will plan to do that but if it starts with the Trans/shifter disengaged/choked why would that cause the sparks to suddenly engage or work?

This past weekend I was fishing and my motor started fine and ran fine for the first short run, I fished about 15 minutes, started up and ran about 4 miles and...
