    Depth Finders?

    I have a Stryker 4 GPS which is the older model. You can find people who have written contour maps but nothing official as far as I know. It’s good for what it is, but not if you need maps

    The Argo App, The Waze Type App for Water Navigation. Free

    I tried to use Argo on my Erie Canal trip last year ( launched out of montezuma and went 10 miles up past the aqueduct ruins almost to cross lake. ) it did not work well to the point I used Google maps for my navigation and just ran with it.

    Advancements in peddle boats?

    I’m not 100% sure they are out of production but I can’t find much info. This has a large bench seat and space for coolers and stuff behind. I’m not sure where the wheel is https://www.facebook.com/share/tTtX9wqNikbCcFPL/?mibextid=79PoIi

    Advancements in peddle boats?

    The boat in question is an older Water Wheeler. I’m not sure how old, but I don’t know when they stopped making them

    Advancements in peddle boats?

    I don’t think it’s quite square below the waterline. I know all pedal boats are somewhat inefficient hull designs. The intended lake we have in mind is down the road from her parents, and the hiking trails around the lake might take an hour to hike. not sure how big it is, but it’s not very big...

    Advancements in peddle boats?

    I’ve seen that. I think Pelican makes one now too. At least Marty Zoffinger showed a promo for them a couple years ago.

    Alpha gen 1 shift cable adjustment.. cannot get reverse.

    I have new control and new Teleflex cables. I guess the lower shift cable might be gummed up. I left the gimbal complete when I swapped it to my StarCraft Fwiw, the cables were $50 each for 14’ cables

    Yup I can shift fully by pulling and pushing the cable

    Alpha gen 1 shift cable adjustment.. cannot get reverse.

    I got it to shift into forward and reverse. It’s still not adjusted to spec but seems fine out of water

    Increasing travel of remote shift cable

    I had a similar issue. My old mercontrol was literally opening the throttle with a forward shift, so I replaced it

    Advancements in peddle boats?

    My wife and I were talking on our vacation and she said she wants a peddle boat for the local non power lake. Her parents have kayaks that we could use any time but she doesn’t like them much. Searching I found they are now $700 for a decent one new. I found a used older one for $200. Are...

    Increasing travel of remote shift cable

    That is to make sure it’s clicked in for adjustment. If the shift lever actually moves after the detent for forward, something is sloppy in the shifter. Put the shifter in forward. Measure and adjust lower shift cable to 6”. Install in shift plate. Put upper shift cable in holder/ adjust to...

    New to me used 2.3l

    You can use permetex if you really want to. Yes an automotive oil pan gasket will work.. an automotive head gasket will not

    Increasing travel of remote shift cable

    If your throttle effects shift, something is wrong. Your not going to want to use WOT to get your drive to shift

    Favorite motor flushers?

    I just replaced it. I’m sure it’s probably toasted a little but probably still work. But I might buy a riser gasket and get another cause there cheap

    Favorite motor flushers?

    Im going to order one of those. The problem I had is, my wife hooked it up and I didn’t check it.. I’ve got a spare impeller and I’ll get a new housing just in case.The square ones simply won’t seal on a mercruiser lower.

    Glass Fuse Amp?

    I have a glass fuse in a holder that runs to the key switch. That size fuse is probably 10a but I know it’s not marked. I ‘think’ this is probably what your talking about.. the fuse for a cheap cigarette lighter plug is the same ( the one in the end of the barrel you un screw )

    Hangkai 6hp Outboard Maintenance

    Keep in mind that the USCG rating of any of the Intex inflatables is 1.5hp. The 3.5hp Hangkai was really only 1.5hp which is why I was okay using it. I lengthened the brackets like everyone said to do and it would still pull the power head down
