GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Hi All, I am buying a 2018 Ranger tomorrow with a Mercury 150L 4-stroke (NOT ProXS). Photo attached. Since I have only seen pics, I would like to start the motor. I have muffs. 1) Can I use them on water intakes and 2) will it pee strong since there is a thermostat? Any other suggestion on how...
Hello, I have a 2017 Evinrude ETEC HO 115hp (gen1). I pulled up to a boat today that has my exact motor. I looked at that motor’s pee hole and it had something screwed into that mine does not. My motor pees reeeaaaal slow...it doesn’t jet out. It’s more like a heavy drip. I looked back at my...
Ok guys: I’ve been told two different things on this. My Evinrude 115 ETEC HO has very little pee stream. Cranked in neutral, it takes a good 15-20 seconds to start peeing and the stream is not really a stream but a splatter. I’m guessing it would output a cup of water in less than a minute...
I have a CMAP Insight Pro card and it is erasing my routes after a couple trips. The black trail lines where I had been the week before, for example, disappear. Is there a setting that I’m missing? I want it to log and save all my routes and trails (the black lines where the boat has traveled)...
See photo. When I engage my trolling motor, I get the lightwr blue vertical screen clutter you see. When I let off, it goes away. I am wondering if this is caused by my HDI skimmer transducer moving inside the weed guard when I am moving. But what makes think this is not the cause is that...
Hello,
I just received a MotorMate today. Model # 10-101-SS. I am unsure if this is the right fit for my 2017 Evinrude 115HP ETEC HO. I am attaching a photo of the 10-101-SS installed correctly at transom in the holes. I have circled two spots in green and red. Can anyone confirm which contact...
All, I installed my circuit breakers backwards. I put the cable on the battery side and connected the aux side to the bracket going to the battery terminal. Does it matter if they are backwards or will the breaker still work? Trolling motor works fine so current is running through. Please advise.
I have a Minn Kota Edge 24V/70lb thrust. When I pull on the cord, I can’t ever lift the top frame the first time. The only way I can get it to lift up is to push down on the frame or wiggle the steering head (with the arrow—not sure of proper name). I read elsewhere that applying grease helps...
I have a 2 bank battery charger that is charging 2 batteries for trolling motor only. I have 2 inline fuses on each line. My question is this: what will happen if these fuses blow? Will my trolling motor go out? Should I carry spares on board?
Dear All,
I don’t know what this is called (weed guard?), but I broke it off my Minn Kote Edge trolling motor yesterday. Is there anyway to put it back on? I have the broken piece, and when you connect it, there is a good groove fit, which makes me think some strong adhesive might work. Or can...
Fellow Anglers,
I have power and transducer cables installed on my boat for a Lowrance Elite 7 HDI (no longer manufactured). For some reason, I cannot find the answer to this question online: will my cables work on a Hook 9 unit? Thanks, all!
I have a Lowrance Elite 7 HDI that is missing the little rubber cover/cap that covers up the chip port no the front (see pic). Where can I find a replacement for this little part? I can’t find it on Lowrance’s website. Thanks!
Hi folks, I?m fairly new to outboard maintenance. The oil level on my 1997 Mercury 2-stroke 40hp is low and I need to add oil. I recently had the lower unit oil changed so that should be fine. My question is: do I simply pour the oil in the top or do I have to drain the old first? From what I...
Hi folks,
I have a ?98 Tracker Pro 165 and none of the market drain plugs will fit it. My current one is slightly smaller than the 1? diameter of others. It has a red Rubber O ring. Any ideas if this is factory? Where can I find a replacement for this smaller drain plug? Thanks!
I needed to replace two center bunks on my 1998 Tracker trailer. The boat is a light, aluminum 1997 Tracker Pro Team 165. I bought two treated 2x4s and carpeted them beautifully. The problem is, I now noticed that the current bunks are bolted from above with a lock nut on the bottom. I cannot...
