Sorry for the late response. Bought all new thru hulls and after doing 3 of them, I put upgrades on the back burner. Anyhow, I got tired of the boat wandering due to the sloppy helm and did the job yesterday. Seasick's description of the job nailed it. I had trouble with the steering wheel too...

Your timing is perfect. I have a new NFB helm currently shipping to me for my . Will add my installation experience to this post. I put a NFB helm on my bass boat and you can let go of the wheel and it runs straight as an arrow.

Amazon description and other people reviewing say it will not work on leaf spring trailers with more than 30 inches between axles. My 208 trailer has 33 inches between axles. And yes, a similar device works well on my ex wife's horse trailer. Not sure of the axle to axle spacing or if it is leaf...

And no, it does not seem to make a difference if I pull the manual choke level or push the key in while cranking it over.

From what I can see, the solenoid is moving the choke linkage the same distance the manual choke does. Not sure where the fuel is supposed to come from. On my Johnson, the solenoid has a manifold like piece on it that sends a line to each carb to deliver fuel. The Yamaha solenoid doesn't have...

Been having trouble starting my 1997 Yamaha S175. My guess is the primer system is not functioning. When I push the key in, the solenoid clicks but the motor will not fire. At first, I was thinking I flooded it but not smelling gas, I thought fuel wasn't moving. A small spray of starting fluid...

I mounted the Total Scan transducer and now I have a concern that someone is going to walk into it. On my bass boat, the Total Scan is below your knees and tucked under a bit. Did you put anything on to protect it? I have three screw holes adjacent to the Total Scan from the old transducer I...

No Idea - There is also a black or dark blue wire hanging to the right just outside of the picture. ; So far, I have pulled half a dozen wires out, a transducer with cable from the graph that was in the boat when I bought it last year and a transducer from an older system that had its wires...

Finally got it. I will share some pictures of the access points. The tips given by others in this thread are all helpful and were used more or less. The entrance to the electrical box is not a chase and was my biggest challenge. It is actually what feels like two holes slightly offset. The...

I am upgrading the sonar in my 208 and my new system has the Lowrance Totalscan transducer. The "nut" on the graph side of the transducer cable is much larger than that of the transducer it is replacing. I have removed the old transducer cable and a few other cables left over from previously...
