    Bow mount trolling motor on a fisherman 180

    Never fished for an entire day, Old Dude! Use it in the Pamlico Sound and near shore in ocean. With 3' plus waves, I would question effectiveness on my 24'. I did not do the set up, had it done. I can send you pictures of the parts in that I just took it off one GW moving it to another. You...

    power trim and tilt

    Pt&t has not been working for several months. Mechanic recommended not to replace, to costly given labor to remove. He left it unhooked. That I found out today. I have taken the cowl off, letting the motor dry out (switch areas). I am spraying both ends of the switches with moisture...

    2/28/24 took cowl off. Pt&t switch unhooked. Question: could moisture still be the problem? Note 2 switch ends were laying in the bottom of the motor. One had salt corrosion on a terminal. Thinking, clean them up, then tape them up. It appears from U Tube and my mechanic that replacing...

    2/27/24 Thanks a bunch. It appears I need to disconnect the pt&t switch that is on the starboard side of the motor? If this is the problem switch, not at the throttle; perhaps the issue will be resolved? I note that the switch on the motor has not been operable for several months. I elected...

    2/25/24 Thanks to all! My mechanical skills are limited. Locating the various wires, relays, trim motor and cowl/throttle switches maybe difficult? I will take a look however. Went back to the boat yesterday. Same problem. Turned battery switch on, pt&t started operating immediately with...

    sounds right. my switch at the motor does not work. where is the switch at the helm, in the throttle handle? Do I just remove the cover and spray wd in it?

    2009 Yamaha F-250 with say 700 hours. Serviced annually. Thinking of greasing the rods on motor as well as putting electronic lubricant in throttle handle. Concerning in that "if it ain't broke, it is hard to fix"!!!!

    power trim and tilt

    2/22/24 Went to boat. Cut battery switch on. When I hit PT&T switch to lower motor, motor would not go down even though PT&T motor was running. PT&T motor ran continuously until I cut battery switch off. Tried operation several times, same result. Lowered motor manually. When I cut battery...

    Fresh water gunwal shower nozzle and faucet will not work

    I also note that the cabin faucet works irrespective of which pump is primed? Also either pump will prime while the other runs continuously. I am thinking there must be a suction leak in the out going or incoming line that feeds the gunwal faucet and shower? I am somewhat perplexed!

    Fresh water gunwal shower nozzle and faucet will not work

    Thanks, I will check the things you site. Feel like it is a suction problem given one of the two pumps in the system runs continuously while the other works properly?
