Burned out a bunch of wires and melted my ignition switch on my 2002 150 V-Max. New part is $150 for a stinking switch. Any chance I could find a used one off a junker boat, blown motor, repower,...

When I got my boat 2 1/2 years ago, the dealer had put in three group 24 deep cycle batteries to run the TM and start/electronics. About 6 months ago I upgraded to a 36 volt TM. I used the three...

I'm with Bob. I fill one side, fish off of it one trip or sometimes two, then when it's down to 1/4 or so I'll fill the other side up and do the same. That way I'm always running fresh gas, and I...

Agree with Bill and Indian, a full mechanical cleaning is better. What I think worked for me was cleaning the fuel filter. Spark plugs and Seafoam didn't hurt.

Followup on this post. I started looking and noticed I had gunk in the bottom of my fuel filter bowl. This motor only has the small one inside the cowling. I cleaned out the bowl and the mesh...

Are there any fuel additive carb cleaners that are worth anything? I add blue stabil to every tank, but am suddenly running rough. I'd like to run some kind of fuel treament to see if it helps,...

I've got a Fulton Magnum series jack on my '02 Skeeter trailer. When I bought the boat, the gears in the jack were worn, so that the jack only goes up or down if there is little to no sideways...

When did Motor Guide make a 82 tour that was 36 volt? I just acquired one, but don't know how old it is. Any way to tell?
Thanks,

Got the report from the mechanic today. He was not able to find anything really wrong with the motor. He thinks the oil was just a leaking hose and that the motor suffered no ill effects. He...

I do have a fresh ding in my prop, but it was a rock bumping kind of day. Hard to tell what's what. I was able to pull the spark plugs after I got home from work this evening. No visual difference...

Agreed, both are reasonable. I haven't had a chance to check the hoses yet, or to check compression, etc. Not planning on putting it back in the water until I get it sorted out. Another issue, I...

I lost my trim tab on my 150 Vmax Saturday. I also had some suspicious "clunking" noises. Could the trim tab have been coming loose and been hitting the prop? Any of you ever experience this?

I've got a 2002 Vmax 150 carbed. The last two times out, it was hard to get started on the initial start, ok on the rest. It seemed to smoke more than normal on the initial start, fine on the rest....

Bought a 2004 Skeeter in March of last year. So far, two tires, add a spare (didn't come with one), water pump impeller, rebuild the tilt/trim, trolling motor repairs X3, add depth finders (2),...

This worked. Cranked the tounge down, then used the power of the pump to draw in the fluid.

I think I'm low on fluid. If I tilt up too high, I have to use the manual release screw to get it to come down. Once it comes down a little, I am back to the power tilt/trim working.
I googled a...

I'm running a 25 M on my zx190 with a 150. Get 59 GPS at about 5850 RPMs. Haven't tried a 23M yet, but I'd like to. If you've got a chance to try a 25 for only $125, you'd better jump on it. ...

Any of you have a 55# TM on a ZX 190? Mine currently has a quirky TM at 55#, but I haven't had a chance to put it out in tough wind. Any suggestions or comments as I shop for a new/used TM?

I bought a boat this spring, 2002 Skeeter zx190, kind of beat up. Came with a nice full cover, but no motor cover. Has a 150 vmax. Anyone have a spare cover sitting around that I could buy or...

No workie. There was air pressure every time I removed the cap, if I had run the motor at all. Never could get it to take much fluid either. Trim motor runs, but nothing happens. Went ahead and...

I've got a leaking o ring and need to add some fluid. Found the reservoir cap. Should the motor be up or down when I take the cap off? Any special tricks to adding fluid?

My 2001 150 Vmax wouldn't trim up or down, but the trim motor was running. A friend suggested it might be low on fluid, which it was. Adding some solved the immediate problem. On the other hand,...

My trolling motor stopped working yesterday on the 2002 zx 190 I just bought. I haven't had a chance to check all the "usual suspects" in terms of batteries, connections, voltage, etc. One of those...

I was out in my '02 ZX 190 today and had a strange occurrence. It has a 150 Yamaha vmax carbed. I had just come on a 1.5 mile run across the lake at 4000 RPM's or so. Fished a few minutes, then...

My old 1993 Yamaha 85HP I just premixed 50:1. My new 2002 150 Vmax carbed has an oil reservoir in the gas/battery compartment, and also a smaller oil reservoir on the motor itself. Looks like the...
