Thank you very much for the comments!
Thanks for the response. I have not looked under the cowling. If that small tank under the cowling is not full, should I fill it full and do the same in the tank in the boat?
Hey Gang. I'm hoping someone can set me straight. I recently bought a 2004 Triton TR196 with a 200hp Yamaha. The boat is awesome and the outboard is stellar. I had a low oil alert light come on but...
Well I found an incredible deal on a Triton TR-196. I bought it from the original motor who took good care of it, and even kept it stored indoors. This bought is nearly perfect. All it needed was two...
Thanks for the insight on the Triton. I have heard good things about them. I am open to Rangers and even Stratos. We shall see what the months bring. LOL.
Thanks for the replies and insight. Patience has never been my strong point, but I am taking my time to find the right boat. I have taken into consideration that the next couple of months might bring...
Considering I oonly paid $4000 for the boat, it didn't seem worth it to insure it for it damages. I believe I only have liability insurance.
Well my old 1997 Stratos 258 bit the dust. I purchased it a few years ago and planned to upgrade before the summer of 2023. Well I came home from out of town to continue my continual battle with the...
Yep, I'm going to test the pump for power and also check the fuse.
Anyone have a wiring diagram and fuse layout for a Stratos 258?
I have not checked anything yet. I'm going to start at the fuse (when I find it) and then go to the aerator.
Water intake is at the stern. It doesn't come on when I throw the switch. I'm going to check power to the intake this weekend.
Thank you for confirmation. As I mentioned, I have not looked into this yet. Do you know where Stratos typically locates the fuse block? I'm guessing it must be up in the console. Thank you.
I have a Stratos 258 and have a question regarding the front livewell. When I turn the switches on at the bow to operate both aerators (front and rear livewells), the rear aerator comes on but the...
I have been intending to post this thread for awhile but always forget. The front livewell in my Stratos 258 doesn't work. I have been using for tackle storage (small boat) as a result. I would like...
No, I sure didn't. I'm new to the site and didn't realize that was an option. I'll give it a look. Thank you.

My arrangement did not dictate any kind of a deposit. I just brought the cash and cut the deal. I would be apprehensive about giving a deposit myself.
Installed successfully. Thanks for the input.
I bought my Stratos about 3 hours from home, two states away. I asked lots of questions and had the seller send detailed pics. Its an intersting occurrence. We are all looking at it from the buyer's...
Thanks ffor the info. I can definelty see its value for the comfort. I like to stand and fish to stretch my back but I get fatigued with one foot being elevated, so I end up sitting on my pedestal...
So I was considering installing a recessed tray for my trolling motor foot pedal. Looking through the access panel and feeling from behind control board a the bow, I don't see a center joist. I did,...
Thanks a bunch. I will try the spray cleaner and go from there.
How do you check for air? Soap the fittings and look for bubbles?
