    Evinrude XP-150 Trim has no power

    What was the actual voltage you got? A 12V battery is 12.7V fully charged. By the time its reaches 12 volts you effectively have a dead battery

    Salt Away?

    The entire surface of aluminum is covered with aluminum oxide (alumina). It is harder than the aluminum itself. Used as grit on sand paper. Aluminum Oxide causes bolts to stick and the white "acne" you see on the surface of "corroding" aluminum, but it's not the powdery accumulation that...

    Salt Away?

    http://www.saltawayproducts.com/How%20Salt-Away%20Works.htm No commercial product or other liquid substance can move salt crystals from a surface by the act of dissolving them. The salt crystals, in solution, must physically be moved off the surface at obvious exit points. Salt crystals...

    Accessories don't work when boat in water

    You don’t remove any wires to check ground. Check for continuity between the battery or accessories panel ground and the hull. There should be no continuity. If there is, you have a grounding issue not related to your power problem. Have you put a meter on the power connections at the...

    Old propeller problems

    Most mfg. have gotten away from fixed hub props and gone with interchangeable hubs. Lots of 14 x 14 props on the market. Just need to find a 12 spline insert to go with it https://www.rubexprops.com/propulsion/propeller-hubs/

    Strange tach behavior on a Penta 5.0L

    From the looks of it, (brass gulling) the hub wasn't tight and the insert is spinning on the thrust washer. Far end of the plastic sleeve looks like it's been hot at one time or another as well

    08' Honda 150hp 4-stroke Heat Alarm

    Accessories don't work when boat in water

    This doesn’t make any sense. The diagnosis would make more sense if the circuit worked on the water (conductive) and not on the trailer. Check for continuity between the primary ground terminal on the fuse panel and the hull. Then check between the ground terminal on the battery and the...

    Late 80s ez-loader trailer spring bushing replacement

    It doesn't matter one way or the other. The spring is bolted to the axle and "floats" in the spring hangers. The nylon bushing is there simply to "guide" the end of the spring while minimizing metal on metal noise. Yes, you can replace w/o removing the axle. Raise the trailer to take the load...

    Garmin stricker 4 plus issues

    Not sure what to tell you. Unless the fish have some sort of magic stealth mode, they are down there and you just don't recognize them. From your manual: When using the unit with the fish symbols off, set the gain up to approximately +2 and use the split screen zoom. This will make it easier...

    Garmin stricker 4 plus issues

    First bear in mind that the detection zone is an inverted cone with the point in the center of the transducer. Your “dual beam” transducer shoots 77/200 kHz with beamwidths of 45/15 degrees. A 15 degree beam angle give bottom coverage (diameter) of roughly a 1/3 of the depth. 70/3= 23’ . From...

    Garmin stricker 4 plus issues

    What transducer are you running? How deep? Bear in mind that depending on what transducer and depth of water, the cone of detection could be very small. Also suggest you turn off fish symbols and learn how to read returns yourself using “arches” instead of fish symbols.

    Trailer tires dryrotting again

    Guess I’m luck. Never had a tire issue. Pretty religious about swapping tires 6 years from manufactured date. Trailered 8,000+ miles a year up until last year. Couldn’t tell you what brand tires are on on either trailer. Just take it down to a friend who owns the local tire shop and take his...
