I have a mercury 200 efi. Cranking battery is dead. I was going to replace with what was in there which is a stowaway 27dc180. But I realized that my electronics are running off my cranking battery....
Went to ruddock today. Fished a rogue, speed craw, baby brush hog, spinnerbait. Two hits two fish. A choupique on speed craw and one bass about 1 1/2 lbs on spinner bait. Water ranged from 60-63.2...
Ok. I will give him a call tomorrow and see what he reccomends.
I'm still interested in hearing any opinions too though. Thanks
Ok. Looking at the site now. Not sure exactly what I want. But user friendly. More of the technology lean towards chart plotting. And depth. Don't care about the fish finding technology. And with...
I'm looking at a few gps/depth finder for under 500 that would include everything I need. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I know everyone has a preference of mechanics they let work on their boat. Just looking for some good honest opinions about our local marine mechanics. Let's hear em...................
I agree 100%
I'm in the process of looking for another mechanic now. Do you know anyone in Louisiana that you could speak for?
That's what I'm thinking. Anyone know of a good mechanic in Louisiana?
Not sure, but it soundl like something may be wrong with your motor! I virtually have the same boat but with merc 200 on it and I can turn a 25p tempest to 6000+ rpms easily. I wish you luck. And...
Oh and yes the lower unit oil was a dark grey color. Which I suspected a slight leak. Which in turn made me think it was the Propshaft all that much more. The oil wasn't milky like I've seen in other...
Well from what EVERYONE on here is saying, it sounds like my Propshaft is bent! What I don't understand is why the hell would the mechanic say its not bad enough to worry about? It would have just...
I took it to the mechanic and he did say the Propshaft had a little bend in it but it was nothing to even worry about because they sometimes come from the factory that way. I insisted he run it and...
I tried a few different props. Some were worse. Others not so bad. But it has always had the shake when in gear at low idle. I thought it was normal until a friend told me otherwise. I brought it in...
I was told that I have propeller overrun on my boat. That it is causing my motor to shake at low rpms. And that I need to get some PVS holes drilled in my prop. Any comments? Also, where exactly...
The dimple is not perfectly round so it's hard to tell by looking at that. But if I keep my eye on the shaft I can see a slight wobble. So I am assuming the Propshaft is bent. What are the long term...
Someone said that my prop ears may be bent or my Propshaft may be bent. I set up a jib with a scribe secured to it to accurately measure if the prop and also the shaft had and wobble or if it was...
Prop is out about 1/16". Along with the prop shaft. That is side to side. Front to back is good. (or up and down and in and out. However you wanna call it). Also, I forgot to mention, I mix my fuel...
I can't comment on what hinges will/won't work. But, if you call rather than just look at the website, they have a ton of stuff that is not on the website. I think they would have the hinges that are...
I leave all tackle in boat always. Covered and under carport. I haven't had any issues yet!
Is that the PCS tx?
:ohwell: I hope it's a cheap fix. I've been doing nothing but spending money on this boat!!
Are those costa glasses really that good?! They're quite expensive. What is different about them that makes them worth the big$$$$$?
Ok. I will check motor mounts and prop shaft for bent/warping. After prop shaft checks out I will check to see if any ears are bent up/down or in/out. Now, where exactly are the motor mounts on that...
I spun the prop and didn't see any wobble. I can try to set up a stationary frame with maybe a scribe to tell if there is any wobble at all. I've tried other props. (don't have any others at the...
