The AT transducer comes with mounting options to mount on the shaft of your trolling motor and you can face it forward to get a live image of what you are driving into (called scout mode), but I would like to leave it in and use it in scout mode position full time so mounting on the trolling...
2023. We bought it with 8 hours running time on it, so I don't know how it was from the factory, but it has been hard steering at speed since we have had it.
Well... It's all factory. I don't have an exact pic right now. I'm in the city and the boat is out at the cottage... but since it's all factory I'll just grab a pic off the net:

Following.
I have the same problem with a pontoon boat. Steering and linkage is in good condition and all is trimmed out correctly but at high speed I have to use two hands to turn.
I am suspecting motor height but don't know if I should mount higher or lower to reduce steering resistance.
Steering is normal and good at low and medium speeds with no left/right pull, but when the boat is at WOT, steering becomes extremely stiff. It takes two hands to turn the wheel. Trim doesn't seem to make too much difference either way.
I am beginning to think that maybe the motor (150 4 stroke...
I have dogs and they have a tough time getting onto the pontoon boat when I make a bow-first landing on a beach or similar.
What I was hoping to find was a ramp of some kind which attaches to the bow on the underside of the deck which you can pull out and extend.
I was simply going to make one...
Canada as well. The weight varies a bit from Province to Province but generally it's around 2000lb gross trailer weight. We also have to have trailer brake-away braking.
When I first purchased my boat (used) about 5000lbs, the brakes weren't working and I had to drive it home like that. That...
Fuses are to protect the wiring, not the device. If you have a short, the fuse pops so you don't turn the wiring into a large heating element. Given that, and ideally speaking, you need the fuse (or breaker) as early on in the configuration as possible. The closer the fuse is to the power...
Scott has a point there. With Direct current rpm's doesn't really matter because there is no frequency component. Household alternating current however demands a specific frequency of 60hz (50hz for Europe). This limits the genny to very specific speeds in order to pop out the correct frequency...
I would suggest that the difference in draft with a smaller motor (say 40hp) and a 90 will be MAYBE a couple of inches on the average boat.
Either way though, if a couple of inches is seriously going to be the difference between 'make' or 'break' then maybe a row boat or a canoe would be the...
That motor weighs about the same as 2 medium-sized guys. Have them stand in the back of the boat close to the centre transom area and you will have your answer.
I'm not sure I would run around wasting time on tracking down a vintage boat plug... which most likely doesn't exist.
Just head off to any boat store with the drain diameter in hand and they will give you something like this:
You can also get the manual screw type if the quick release makes...
The norm when the boat is starting you should be on start battery only. Once running both batteries need to be on. When the boat is off, the starter battery needs to be off and isolated so you don't accidentally drain. When the boat is moored both batteries are off (unless you need the...
We run our house at 68 year round, but the point is that you're not going to get much of an "A/C" effect with your 'coolant' (river water) at a temperature of 70 degrees.
One of the big things about cooling Summer air to make things feel more comfortable, is about removing the humidity...
