    Ho many batteries do I need?

I've serviced lots of boats with different setups, and it adds hours to a service order as we have to remove all the junk attached to do an impeller and stuff. Saves ya money to remove...

    Slide hammer puller

    Yeah, I misread the post. The carrier does come out without damaging the bearings. Spray plenty of knocker loose in there to help loosen corrosion. I've had two over the years that broke removing them. Did several hundred of them though. A little heat on the case don't hurt either.

    Slide hammer puller

    Trim reservoir filling

    12v Motorguide keeps frying switches.

    What size is the wiring from the battery to the switch/trolling motor? Undersized wiring will wreck things rather quickly.

    Should you buy 20 year old boat to fix up or 10 year old boat?

    Open ended question! My newest boat is a 1985, My oldest is a 1977. Both are still ok, just not as pretty as they used to be. Depends on many factors. Life of a boat is generally 15 years, Most of the time the motors don't need overhaul, unless they were abused. Never touched my motors besides...
