Thanks guys!
I just purchased a 2000 Bass Cat Classic. I have a freshly rebuilt 2004 3.0L 200 Optimax I was running on my Nitro that I'm installing on this boat. It has an old CMC 5.5" setback manual jackplate....

The guy that built me an Opti last year makes these little aluminum caps. They're slightly oversized. Apparently, the OEM caps start leaking all of
the time.
I bought a refurbished Tour Pro HD+ off of the Motorguide website. With the adaptor cables, the transducer works great with my Garmins. It has worked flawlessly. My son's Ghost continually has...
I run 2 36v 50AH batteries in parallel. Like DLane, I run a 1-2-both switch. If one battery were to fail, I can run on the other alone with full voltage. I'm totally happy with this setup and can't...
I hope you get made whole on this one. I'm not a rocket scientist, but I think the torque a 250 HP Mercury puts on the transom while running WFO should be a heck of a lot more than what a few bumps...
I have a 1996 model year Nitro 896 that I bought new from a dealer in 1998. I have been through multiple outboards with the same boat. Years ago, Nitro had a bad name for quality, but I don't really...
So far, I love mine. I may change my tune when it starts having issues. I have the Tour Pro HD+. The built in transducer works great with my Garmins as well. My son has a Lowrance Ghost and is having...
I have the HD+ and my Garmin 94 UHD is plugged into the pedal, using the built-in CHIRP transducer. Zero interference with that setup. I still need to add another Garmin with Livescope. From what...
I haven't had mine long, but it's been flawless so far. I really like it.
I recently installed a 109 Tour Pro HD+. So far, I couldn't be happier. Easy to calibrate, no delay with pedal and quieter steering than I expected. I might change my tune in a year if something...
I went with cheap GTK 50AH 36V batteries, 2 of them. I installed them with a 1-2-both switch. Haven't had any issues.
You'll need a Mercury (or Quicksilver) fuel line, that comes with the bulb. While you're at it, there's a little anti-siphon valve (hose barb with check valve inside) on the elbow on top of your...
Yep. These 36V batteries give us all sorts of room now. I'd love to have another battery for electronics. I bought a lithium jumpstarter for my boat, since I don't have 12V SLA trolling batteries....
bgibson, I don't disagree with you at all. I haven't had a lithium battery fail, but I do indeed have 2, not trusting the new technology just yet. Interestingly, my boat won't fit 3 trolling...
They're 50AH LiFePO4 batteries, with 50A BMS. I bought them on AliExpress. They come with some pretty cheesy looking 10A chargers. The chargers do work, but seem like they'd break if dropped or...
I'm using 2 Chinese 36v LiFePO4 batteries now. I use 2 chargers that came with them, that aren't onboard chargers and have alligator clips. I used 1 all last year and recently added the 2nd one. I...

I've been using 1, then recently added another. I'm now using 2 36V 50AH LiFePO4 batteries, wired in parallel. I wired them using a 1-2-both switch. I can't fit 3 12V in my ol' 1996 boat. No...
FishingwithRusty,
I totally agree. Unfortunately, we don't make LiFePO4 battery cells here in the US. From the cells to the assembly of batteries, all of that could easily be automated and made here...

For those asking about the Chargers. The chargers are not onboard chargers. They're cheapy looking 10A chargers that came with the batteries. I ran with just 1 battery with 1 charger for a...
That's a good question. I don't actually know. I've been using the chargers that came with them.
The brand is GTK, a Chinese brand I bought on Aliexpress. They shipped by boat, which takes forever, like a few months to receive. $862 dollars invested for 2 50AH 36V LiFePO4 batteries. Definitely a...
Don, I think you posted something a while ago that was real helpful. I recall something about removing the intake, drilling out where that elbow is and then tapping it for the brass elbow. I remember...

I've been running 1 50 AH 36V LiFePO4 battery for a year now, in tournaments and in heavy wind and current on the CA Delta. I bought it from China for $416 delivered. After a year, I had zero...
