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.
I have several questions that I’m hoping you all would be generous enough to help me with. We picked up another boat last year and I’m still trying to work out quite a few things yet. Here we go and thanks in advance!
1) Earlier this summer our VRO pump went out and a shop converted it...
Hello everyone,
I’m looking at adding a stereo to the boat and am wondering if its super critical to get a marine radio or if I could just pick up a car stereo as they seem to be much easier/cheaper to find. I do have a flip cover for the radio as a radio was previously installed but they broke...
Alrighty, I finally got our boat back and we were able to take it out briefly. I did try not backing it in as far and that did seem to help somewhat even though the ramp itself wasn't very level. I've attached a diagram showing the slight difference in the distance of the front rollers from the...
Hello everyone! I’m hoping some of you smart folks can once again steer me in the right direction �� So I picked up a different boat late last summer and have gotten mostly everything figured out but am having trouble when landing the boat as it always wants to hug one side of the trailer a bit...
Hello All,
Well we gave in and bought a different boat it's a 1993 Alumacraft Competitor 170, it needs a little work but over all think we did okay and I hope that you all can confirm so :) It came with a 1994 70hp Johnson with EFI and a 2001 55 lbs thrust Minn kota.
Looks like someone...
Hello Everyone-
I'm looking at upgrading from a 1981 Alumacraft Classic with a 35 hp Evinrude to a 1992 Pro V with a 2001 4 stroke Johnson outboard. Couple questions, I believe the Pro V's are solid, but my Dad is a little leery of the engine as he said that usually you don't see a 4 stroke that...
Well, today with the nice temperatures up here we took the boat out but it ended up being a shorter trip and 3 bullheads :( Motor ran great at first, but then after moving to a second spot we again had a hard time getting the motor into neutral and if we finally did and got moving again the...
Alrighty finally had a little time to take some time away from the new backyard fence install to pull apart my lever box. Once disconnected the cable from the handle the handle seem to function smoothly. When trying to pull the cable end by hand I couldn't move it much at all but maybe that's...
Need to order a shifter cable and was wondering what the best way of going about knowing what cable I need?! I guess what info is necessary as I'm not even sure what year my engine/boat are?
Also this weekend we ripped out our rotten floor, and are ready for carpet can anyone give me any...
So a couple times this summer we have gone tent camping and havent had a campsite without electricity without any place to charge our trolling motor. Our battery usually will last us a couple days of fishing, however if we stay longer and do more fishing we usually end up with a low battery.
So...
Re: Minnkota Trolling motor often non-responsive
Thanks everyone for all the responses and info, here are some pics of the model I have.
Do these help identify if this model is the one they had issues with the pedals with?
I purchased a 1980's fishing boat last year and I've had issues with it responding to my movements of the pedal. At first I thought maybe it was a low battery but even when the battery is fully charged it still doesn't respond sometimes. The motor acts like the pedal is stuck or something but...
so I recently bought a boat and the bow cover piece has a few rivots that have broke through. One in each corner. Question is how do i repair this? Can I use the prexisting holes? What do I all need for tools? How do I know what size rivots I need?
Thank ya!
So I just purchased my first boat, a 16 foot Alumacraft Lunker Classic. Took her out on the first day and she ran great! Only thing I noticed is that the bilge doesn't work. So I checked it out and well sure enough the wires are cut so it's not even connected to the battery. However I have no...
