Thanks Rob! I had come across those Stern Saver options (both the epoxy and 3M styles) but was a bit leery after having read some reviews questioning their reliability. So it’s good to hear some...

I recently purchased a base level 2019 Z17 and am starting to plan out replacing the crummy electronics and trolling motor.

At this point I’m leaning towards a Lowrance Elite FS 9 flush mounted...

Just wanted to take the time to thank you again Charlie. You were bang on - the male end of the blue butt connector that twinned the wires was loose. Soldered them together and heat shrunk the...

Thanks Charlie! I'll have a look at this week and test that blue wire. I wouldn't have known where to start without your help!

I have a '99 VMAX 150 and the trim switch on the side of the motor works fine but the up switches at the bow, blinker trim on the steering wheel and on the shifter seem to work...

This battery has been great so far.

My bad, yeah, 182 mins. I was reading some info about batteries and had amp-hours stuck in my head for some reason.

Thanks for the input guys. I ended up getting an Interstate 27M-XHD. 800 CCA and 182 Amp-Hour RC.

So my current cranking battery is a cranking battery from NAPA auto parts. It's 3 years old and now flakes out after 4-5 hours of running around with the Hummingbird 998, TS3 switch, and live well...

I have a 98 ZX 185 with original EZ Loader trailer with swing away tongue. I just replaced the UFP A-60 brake actuator/coupler and am also replacing the whole braking system including the brake...

Just used spray cans of Plasti Dip. Some of the panels I actually painted in place without removing them - I masked off some of the area and then just peeled off any overspray.

Just to update this thread - I ended up re-finishing my dash panels by Plasti Dipping them a few months ago. The Plasti Dip has been really durable and I actually prefer the blacked out dash to the...

That would be great if you could post some pics when you get a chance Skeeter D. I am debating doing the same thing - mounting the rack permanently with bolts, nuts and washers if it turns out that...

Does anyone have a Bac Rac Rod Storage System (seen here: Bac Rac co angler rod storage system) on an older model Skeeter? I have a '98 ZX 185c and I'm not sure if:

a) The Bac Rac will fit with...

I have this posted in the Skeeter forum as well but I thought I might get more info here. So if a moderator would prefer to have this posted here please feel free to delete the other thread.

I...

I washed my 98 Skeeter ZX185c for the winter the same way I always have but this time, for some inexplicable reason, two of the faux carbon fiber instrument panels became splotchy and cloudy. I've...

I have a 98 Skeeter ZX 185c and I don't like the way the fuel water separator is currently mounted. I would like to glue a piece of starboard to the upper portion of the plastic fuel tank and mount...

Done and done. Thanks for the help guys. I had a hard time finding a weld-on replacement jack that would allow me to remove the snap ring and just replace the old jack in place. But I eventually...

The jack on my '99 Skeeter ZX 185c finally bit the bullet. It looks like it's welded on with a large open retaining washer holding the jack to the plate on the side of the trailer over a large...

The lower unit on my 99 P150LRX needs to be replaced. My local mechanic up here in British Columbia, Canada quoted me $1500 CAD for a used 1995 lower unit. At this point I'd prefer to explore the...

Thanks Wayne!

Installing the hole shot plate and re-mounting the tansducer and shield are kind of the last thing I want to do. I'd have to tear apart my wire loom at the helm and ream out the...

But his screen shot posted here seems to show a small echo on both sides with the transducer shield mounted in the center of the hole shot plate:
...

Having looked at screen shots posted by Doug, Wayne and Troy in other threads I think I've come to the conclusion that there's no point in adding the extension or the hole shot plate because there is...

Is that a 1.5" or 2" extension Doug? Does it completely eliminate that echo for you? I have a '98-'99 50th Anniversary Skeeter ZX 185c so the sponsons and hull are a bit different than on your boat...

Thanks for the reply Doug. Above I asked about doing what you suggested (adding the 1.5" extension) but Wayne didn't seem to think this would fix the problem. I would far rather add the 1.5"...
