I've had that happen to mine a couple times. You can gently sand and then superglue the sheath of the cable back into the cable end (or get a new cable). Also, make sure your oring is lubricated. It...

While a price increase is frustrating, it's far from a unique situation in today's economy. There have been huge spikes in raw material and labor costs just to keep production going on just about...
Wanted to update this thread in case anyone is searching for info so this could be helpful.
Since my initial post I swapped the old trolling motor out for an Ultrex, and added two 8' power poles....
Motor height in that photo was during rigging. Prop to pad is 3.5."
What kinda estimate on mph gain do you think there would be switching from the Mirage to a tempest? 4mph or less? more than 5?...
I have an older ranger with a 150 and a 6" jack plate as well. 3.5" prop to pad and rev that thing to 5800-6000rpms. I seeing 55mph.
Jack that thing up and rev it out!
In which pitch? Also, what reasoning do you have to try the laser? My research shows the Tempest+ offers more bow lift than the Laser.
Thanks.

I'll be perfectly honest that I'm not sure I would be able to tell. It's a new motor for this boat and the ducers were there before. I have no basis to judge, other than I know that one of the two...
I have a different generation Ranger, but I can read depth at speed with my echomap plus 93sv ducer mounted here (one on the left. The ducer on the right is sidescan for a separate striker 9sv on the...
Thanks for the recommendation. Sounds like just the place that could have been letting water into the lower cylinder(s). I'm just going to replace them regardless since I have the powerhead off.
Got the powerhead pulled pretty easily.

Right away I found a bit of a water/oil mess.

Thanks for the replies guys.
What may or may not prove to be pertinent info to the "event:" I had just crossed over another boat's wake and the boat jerked violently. Almost immediately following...
Thanks for the replies guys.
First things first. As I lowered the trim to work last night a oily water stream exited the prop (first attached photo). I'm used to water from the lake running out,...
Hi guys,
Re-powered my '87 Ranger 335V earlier this year with the aforementioned '94 2.5L 150hp XRi EFI off a newer Nitro. Serial # 0G017076. When motor was purchased compression in all cylinders...
