I just put a Humminbird 859ci DI on my pontoon boat and when I power it up, the Humminbird emblem comes on the screen but nothing else. I took it off of my bass boat (upgraded) and it was working fine. However, now when the Humminbird emblem comes on the screen, it doesn't go to the next screen...
I have a 2004 Skeeter with a Yamaha 150 outboard motor. When I turn the key to power the ignition, the fuel needle pegs to full. I can see through the tank that I only have a half tank of gas. I disconnected the negative lead on the sender and the gauge dropped to empty, so I think that the...
I'll check that out. Yesterday, I was looking at some information regarding using E10 gas versus non-ethanol gas in a outboard and saw something from Mercury Marine that said "E10 may actually be a superior marine fuel, as it tends to keep low levels of water moving through the fuel system...
I was told that this could be a problem, but my boat is on a lift under a boathouse. Rain never gets to the boat, so I'm thinking it came from the gas station. I'll try the siphoning process and see how that works.
I continually add fuel to the tank, usually 10 gallons at the time. I haven't run the boat for about 6 weeks, but I've gone months without running it and never had an issue. Do you know what that "separation" line is halfway between the top half of the fuel and the bottom half?
I would have to siphon it out. It's a 35 gallon tank. The motor is a Yamaha 150 4 stroke. Not sure what the fuel filter is. I had all filters replaced last year my boat mechanic. I did check the fuel bowl and there was no trash in it at all.
Put my boat in last week, ran about a half mile and the engine started sputtering and quit. I tried re-starting it and it would idle for a few seconds and quit. Finally, it wouldn't fire at all. I used my trolling motor to get back to my house and put it on the lift. Thinking it was water in the...
