Tell your wife you need a new motor..... ;)

There are other things that could be "repaired" on a helm. The shuttle valve can get stuck or blocked and there are springs and balls that stick. IMO, get a new one. You have to buy a Classic tilt that includes the tilt. You can't just buy a pump. The shaft on a tilt pump is different. Also...

still in great shape. no loose threads, no broken zippers. The hard plastic looks great and so does the soft sides. One thing I want to do is replace a couple of the front windshield snaps with Loxx pull-ups. Bought them a year ago but haven't gotten around to it

For many years I used a Hero4 attached to half a fising rod. It had the clear UW case. Only used battery, didn't try cable power underwater nor on hardtop. I got a lot of great great UW video by sticking the rod in the water. That is fish at the boat. Hookup was trying to look at the bottom in...

Went solo this morning 6am. Flat calm. Stopped at Klondike. Deadsticking doubleheaders but all small. \Ran to shark river reef. Got there 7am Limit seabass by 8 am. Back at dock 845 Friends got out of work at noon and we fluked the river for 3 nice keepers

Simple power is to get a 12v to USB outlet on amazon and wire it to near where you mount. Then you can use the gopro cable.

Got our 40 seabass limit and 25 red hake. One short cod and a short female lobster! It was blowing hard in the morning so we fished the Klondike rocks. Got half the limit. Wind died out at noon so we ran out to Shark River Reef. It was a slow pick until the last 7 fish. Bite turned on with...

The boat doesn’t matter. You need an outlet that accepts your cable to your reel. I have the same Marinco outlets. You should have the power on a switch not to battery. I powered mine from my capstan breaker switch. That way it only has power when that switch is on…almost never…. Less...

Kicked off 2025 with west wind 20 to 25 gusting 35. Anchored on Axel reef a mile and a half off the beach. Couldn’t get out any farther than that and still be fishable. We managed 11 keeper Seabass, and a couple of Ling. And I caught a 20 inch fluke in the river. The dock bass were biting...

You know that all of the holes thru the stringers are the same ?

something silly....

finally got around to replacing the fresh water system. Removed the cabin faucet and capped the hole using a standard SS hole plug for a sink basin. I don't need a faucet there. Its in the way. Removed the Head sink faucet and replaced with very cheap chromed plastic RV cold water faucet from...

So, before I got a Sierra 18-7919 to install, the OTHER gasoline filled bowl fell off the remaining china S3213! Here is a comparison of Sierra vs china bowl gaskets. Not the same. I put the china gasket on to test it. On a Sierra filter it leaks when you prefill the filter. So now I...

If you are re-attaching a metal trim...I vote 5200.

Welcome to boating! The bead chains break too. Mine are broken and I carefully remove the caps and place them in the boat. With a chain, you get on plane and notice that the cap is flailing about. It breaks off as soon as you make eye contact....

Thats a substantial piece of steel to be broken. I replaced the swivel rod (stearing bracket) on a Suzuki DF140 in my driveway. Bought a Harbor freight motor jack for $100. Left motor bracket mounted to transom. removed LU and shift rod. Take up weight of the motor while removing two nuts at...

You can't justify the cost and effort for "electric" steering, even if you could get it. First things first, disconnect the cylinder (ram) from the tiller/swivel arm. Make SURE you can move the motor easily by hand. When you grease the swivel bracket(sometimes called steering bracket), grease...

I should clarify the digital display tank numbers. They entirely depend on which sender wires you connect to which plug on the motor cable harness.(Assuming its your motor doing the a/d conversion onto the N2k bus) Different motors may be different. Your connections may be different. I use 1...

I have my tie bar adjusted toe out (rear of props closer). To do that you make the tie bar longer. The motors are 28" on center of tiller/swivel arm. So you mke it 28.5" that puts the LU toe out by 1/4" on each motor. It made a very noticable difference in being able to go STRAIGHT at idle...

Oh, for draining I used a leftover 6' piece of 1-1/4 hose. Fill it in the tub and hang it over the side...1-1/4 drains FAST!
