I think your GT51m will do great for bottom fishing and as your everyday go to. The GT51 will read depth for tiles in 450-600. That'll do. Its very hard to bottom fish deeper than 600 when drifting. Drift the canyon at night for tuna/sword, your baits are 150/100/50. I would get a B175HW for...

If I remember right, the red button has small philips screws and ring terminals, like #10. IMO too small for 6 gauge wire. Get yourself a cable lug crimp tool on amazon. get a switchable breaker with 5/16 lugs. Seems on bigger gradys they ran 6 gauge to a terminal block under helm then 10...

Probably your 40A 12V House breaker. Your manual should show it. Disconnect the wire and see what doesn't work. Red button breakers suck. They rust. They are not "trip-able". You can't use them to turn off the circiut. Get an MRCB (marine resetteble circiut breaker) You will probably need...

You are kind of in a pickle. If you want a good look at tuna /swords drifting at night, you are much better off with a "High and Wide" like the B175HW or now they have a B175MW Medium & wide. They have extremely wide beams to see whats high up around the boat but, of course, these don't read...

oh ya... Winterize Flush with full tank of clean water then pumpout. then flush 1/2 gal of RV pink antifreeze into tank.

Blue Marine/RV toilet treatment. plenty of brands out there. I flush it in the head. Empty tank As Soon As Practical after someone has used it. Fill & flush once in a while. DO NOT use regular toilet paper. Get RV/Marine toilet paper. DO NOT let anyone use "Flushable wipes". They are...

My suzukis have the raised letters. FYI, fishing line WILL get caught on them more often than you would think.

I agree that any "battery to motor" connection problem would cause starting problems before it would cause Tilt trim problems. not familiar with your motor but they tend to be similar. There is probably a fuse panel in the motor and a fuse for the PTT. I would pull it and check for corroded...

Fishtales mentioned the metal hydraulic lines. Some models (I thought much older than 2006 and I/Os) had metal tubing below deck. You would probably then have short hoses in the motorwell going to bulkhead fittings.

2 ft too long is better than an inch too short. You need a nice wide bend out thru the bulkhead . The excess usually lays down near the stringers. That assumes the hoses come out the stbd side and don't come out in the center. Some models do that. Do you have autopilot? or power assist? If...

update: These replaceable fittings have been perfect on my autopilot for many years now

Couple of things. You need to verify what type of hose and cylinder you have. Probably Seastar 5/16 od 1000psi hose...but could be Seastar PRO rrated 1500 PSI for Tournament PRO cylinders. You have to verify that you have uninterupted hoses from helm to cylinder. Sometime hoses go thru the...

oh read thru this again.. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/suzuki-df200ap-maintenance-tips.37405/

I agitated mine with a sawsall.....;)

Its probably nasty inside and uncleanable. Mine was.

I would replace the internal anodes. If you are going to look at them , might as well replace. You need new o-rings and I would have a spare screw too

I don't think the maintenance is any different on the mechanical motors except I would inspect the shift & throttle cables and grease the linkage. Maybe empty the ash tray and see if the lighter still works... a picture of the page in the manual would help.

Get a gallon of epoxy and a quart of hardener and the pumps. Get some high densiity filler and some low density "fairing" filler. You can't go wrong. You own a boat...you will use it.... Start buying Won Ton soup for lunch and save the containers. Cheaper than buying mixing containers. You...
