    Deep Cycle battery polarity issues (24v)

    I looked into the charger that I have NOCO Genius Gen 5 x 3 on board charger. it is a 3 bank charger, each bank charges the 12V battery individually so if the settings are correct (to chanrge a 12V battery and not a AGM or Lithium battery) it will charge properly. There is no 24V option since it...

    Deep Cycle battery polarity issues (24v)

    It's a three bank charger, and yes all batteries are connected individually. As far as I can tell when I brought the new boat the configured charger for the batteries.

    Mercury PRO XS200 Tune

    HI all, I have seen somewhere where someone talked about tuning the Pro XS V8 models from 200HP to 248HP without having to change any parts out... I was told that the 200/225 models have the same exact parts, and that the 250/300 models only have a different throttle body to allow more air...

    Question about engine oil

    Yes the manual calls for both 10w-30 and 25w-40 and the service manager said that 25w-40 is a better oil.. but did not mention anything about the temperature. Anyway I do not go out fishing if the weather is below 45F.

And I enjoy the features alright however when you are...

    Disconnecting Fuel line from the outboard

    Just got it installed today. Looks a lot better. It was a bit more work then I expected since I had to move all the electrical cables that go to the outboard to another feeder tube, because the hydraulic hoses were in the way. I had to get the whole back deck off and move the cables. Before...
