    Source for used electronics

    I have a navman fuel 2100 gauge but the transducer with the paddle wheel has failed. Does anyone know of a source for used electronics such as the transducer? I've tried ebay and amazon. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Looking hard at a Dealer's demo boat. 2009 Trophy 22' with a 150hp Merc Opti. Dealer said motor has about 100 hours on it, but I'd still get the full 5 year warranty. It has all the options including T top w/launcher, GPS, VHF, stereo, raw wash and full curtains. So I'm just looking for some...

    Self Bailing Deck - Ok to plug the holes?

    My 19' Bay Stealth (VIP) center console has a self bailing deck. Is it OK to plug the holes on days when water getting into the boat isn't an issue? For example, I took a friend and his two young boys out yesterday and as we both sat in the rear of the boat, watching the boys fish water seeps...

    115HP low RPM stalling

    My Yamaha 2002 115hp outboard is giving me fits at low rpm, mostly idle speed. It starts fine and runs like a top when above idle, which as about 800 rpms. But when idleing it sounds like it's missing a beat (new plugs only 5 run hours ago). I had brought it to a mechanic a month ago who said he...

    Hummingbird 757c. Swiveling the base

    Does anyone else have one of these, or one similar? I have one mounted in on the dash of my center console and I'd like to turn it 180 degrees when I'm fishing from the bow using the trolling motor. I'm told the base should swivel, but it seems tight and I don't want to break it by forcing...

    How important is it to fog the carbs? I’ve never done it and to be honest, I’m a bit intimidated by the task. Afraid of screwing up the carb. Also, when I put the stabilizer in the gas, should I run the engine afterward to get it into the lines?
