I have a 2000 TR186 that had a 2001Opti 150 with a 23in. Tempest Plus mounted on a 6 in. Hydrodynamic Rapid jack plate. It topped out around 55 something hundred rpm (can't remember). I think the...

I've got one on my TR186. I keep it stowed in the mornings, but that puppy gets set up in the afternoons when temps are in the 90+ range. What a difference...

I also carry a jump pact. There are several on the market and they take up less room that jumper cable. No more worries at the end of the day. Plus, most will also charge your smart devices.

Triton TR186 with 150hp four stroke... all you need.

Upon further thought of the post above, which I wrote, I'm thinking that 15% ethanol gas option will probably be available to the larger fuel stations in more populated areas.

I just heard on the news that President Biden is going to approve a rise to 15% ethanol gas in an attempt to lower fuel prices. I know there is some out there already but... If smaller rural area mom...

Thanks Don.

Don, I have a 2018 4 stroke 150hp ProXS (2B578744). Can I mix 25w-40 synthetic blend with 10w-30 synthetic blend if both are Merc oils?

I have a 2018 150 4 stroke ProXS (2B578744) on a 2000 Triton TR186 and I wouldn't know where or how to install one of these filters. On the Optimax it replaced there was one mounted to the engine.

I have the old style (2"x2" I think, square) SC1000 gage on my 2000 TR186. The smartcraft gage has been through 18yrs. with 150 Opti and now 3-1/2 yrs. with the 150 4 stroke ProXS and with both...

Well I'm 68 and retired. I use the ladder a lot in the summer because there's no lifting myself out of the water into the boat, those days are over. I'm just surprised I can't pull out the screw....

Hi All. The screws for the lower left bracket for my ladder (where it attaches to the transom) are loose and I can't tighten them or get them out. I thought they were stripped so I loosed the lowest...

I have a 24p Fury 3 blade since 2018. Is there a balance problem or another issue I should know about. It seems fine as far as I can tell. I'm getting 60mph (gps) at 5.900rpm from my 2000 TR186 with...

I placed a small piece of yellow reflective self sticking tape on the 12 o'clock position of the drain plug when tight that makes it easy to count the turns to loosen when I change my oil. It's also...

Don, whatever happens, I also greatly appreciate the info you provide. I learn just by reading your replies... thank you for your time and advice.

Thanks again gents.

When I bought my present 2000 TR186 new my dealer asked me if I wanted to see what a $50,000.00 bassboat looked like. It was a Gambler. I said, wow, who would pay that much for a bassboat? He said...

Don, you were right. Serial number for the outboard is 2B578744. I had the 7 and 5 reversed. I know where the thermostat is, I was just wondering if I would need a new housing gasket if I remove...

Thank you all for the replies. I'm a little more at ease on the matter. And I will recheck my serial number.

<2B578744>

I would like to remove the thermostat to check for proper operation because even with 90 degree water the smartcraft never reads beyond the 130's in temp. I don't know what the...

Same motor, same method as above.

I have a 2018 150hp Pro XS 4 stroke and asked my dealer the same thing because I couldn't get the cowl off. It turns out that I really had to push up hard while holding out the release latch to break...

My Dual Pro came with the boat 20 years ago and still working fine.

Met Jim one evening at Kincaid Lake in Ill. We talked for an hour or so, very nice guy. Sorry to hear the news.
