    Trolling motor wiring

    Hey Foozle - I would start with the user manual and id what you can, if at all. Then start working through the wires by hand and ID'ing as you go. IF you can get access to a wire tracer, sends a single across the wire (unplugged while doing it of course!) and you can hear it at the other end...

    Adding a below floor pole holder in a 1996 Lund Tyee Gran Sport 1850

    So I have the side pole holders but I am wondering if its possible to add a pole holder below the floor between the consoles? I was hoping to purchase something like this - Lund Pole Holder. Anyone know by default what is under the floor in the 1996 Lund Tyee's? I am hoping I can cut a hole...

    1996 4.3 Mercruiser water in my oil? Hoping not!

    Thanks for the info / heads up! I wonder...how easy is it or how likely is it that a fast stop would get water to rush the rear/transom and come in the exhaust to the motor? I know the flappers are in there to stop this and mine are too but they are FULL of exhaust...so maybe slow to close?

    1996 4.3 Mercruiser water in my oil? Hoping not!

    Nope! I noticed the milkshake oil upon my first oil change after purchase. I changed it and was trying to start the motor and run it to see if the oil milkshaked again and I had issue with the starter. Upon inspection the starter had cracked the mount on the block. Boom - new block...

    Transom seal over existing?

    Thank you! There are no problems that I have found. I’m just thinking if the motor is out I can slap some paint on the exposed part(s) and maybe help prevent down the road. I’m in the bilge right now with a bucket of water and dish soap and a wash rag right now!

    Transom seal over existing?

    Hello! I have a 1996 Lund Tyee Gran Sport 1850. I have the motor out as it is being replaced. I am therefore wondering if it’s worth it to reseal what I can now get at in my transom? It is seemingly in good condition, screw test comes back good so I am wondering if there is any value in polying...

    So I bought the boat in June. Checked oil on dip stick and it looked good. Checked oil fill and it looked ok. Didn’t do a compression check. I did look at the motor and not rusty or obvious cracks. Doesn’t over heat, can get 41mph at 4400 rpm. Rubs and starts ok. Took the boat out 6 times...
