I actually bought a new trigger. Ohm tested it. Whats funny is it ohms tests about about 950 on all of them. Which is below what the service manual says they should be. Weird deal. Maybe its the meter i'm using.
I have a new to me 98' Mercury 150 XR6. I bought it knowing it had good compression (125-130), but was not running right. This came on a 98' Nitro Savage 884. When I went to check out the boat/motor I could tell right away that the carbs were flooding the engine. Took it out on the lake and it...
I have a 2005 Fisher Pro Hawk 180. Its an 18'3 hull with a 88" beam and a 90 horse mercury on it. Its got new carpet/wood, water pump, tune up, rebuilt carbs, gear oil all done in the past 3 months. I have an opportunity to sell it for $5750 and buy a 1994 Ranger 392v with a 200 horse XRI for...
I have a 2005 Fisher Pro Hawk 180 (essentially a bass tracker TV-18.) That does not have a hp rating placard on it. I have read online of a rating up to 125 horse, but I also found a guy with that same boat that has a placard rating of 150. Definitely don't want to short myself on hp potential...
I have a 2005 Fisher Pro Hawk 180 (essentially a Tracker 175txw) with a 90 horse Merc on it. Under full power if I trim up just one or to "clicks" too much the boat tries to turn left on its own? Anyone experience that before? I just trim back down and it'll bite and correct itself, but i'm...
Just rebuilt the carbs on my 90 hp 2 stroke mercury. Wouldn't idle before and now it idles great but a little high. My question is about the sequence of adjustments as the factory service manual is a little vague. I have the carb adjustment needles all 1-1/2 turns out from slightly seated. This...
I noticed a real thick oily type fluid coming out of the lower unit "weep" hole. Started to come out when i was running it on muffs. I'm having a problem with it not wanting to idle at all. Runs pretty good off idle, good power. Anyone know what it is? Gear oil? Anyone know why it's coming out...
Just recently boat an 18' aluminum bass boat with a 2005 mercury 2 stroke 90 horse. The boat has been sitting for a whole and has some old gasoline in it. It completely plugged up the inline fuel filter. I installed a new clear fuel filter and after priming the pump debris from the fuel tank...
1989 Evinrude 60 hp. Just installed it and replaced the old 50 hp evinrude. The tachometer is brand new and was working with the old 50 hp. Once I hooked up the 60 the tach will work at idle just fine, and also seems to work on partial throttle, but on full throttle is where it seems to mess up...
Looking into buying a Bass Tracker Pro 175 txw. I also found a 2005 Fisher Pro Hawk 170 with a 90 horse for a pretty good price. The Bass Tracker is a 2004 model with a 50 horse. Both are the same price. As I understand it, they are made by the same company.
Anyone have experience with Fisher...
I recently rebuilt the carbs on the 60 hp Evinrude. Reading the adjustment procedure it seems like I would go out 1 1/2 turns on the middle carb first and adjust according to the instructions. Most people that I have found that have this motor are usually about 1 to 1 1/2 turns out. Mine runs...
Quick question on a 1982 Ranger 17 foot I found for sale. Looks to be in decent shape but the guy that has it, bought it as a project and never laid a hand on it. Definitely needs some work but nothing I cant handle. He has titles for everything and only wants $300 bucks.
Question I have is...
I'm at a cross roads here with my next boat purchase. I'm selling my 1989 tracker tx-17 and getting something newer. I'm mostly doing this for two reasons. One, the boat is narrow and i'd like something a little wider. Two, its a very flat hull design and not a bad ride in calm conditions but a...
Firstly thanks for any help y'all may have. I have a 1989 Bass Tracker Tx-17 with a 60 horse evinrude. Plenty of power for the boat, planes out in a second but I can no trim up at all without it porposing. I get about 33 mph with just me, normal fishing gear, 12 gallons of fuel and two...
