I have a hummingbird helix5 and I have to set it to 9.5 volts to keep it from constantly beeping after a few hours on the water fishing. I once turned it down to 9 volts, big mistake. Would not start but we was on water 7 plus hours. To answer your question or help I have a brand new battery and...
I have two hummingbird fish/depth finders helix 5 one is GPS the other is Down imaging and neither gives me alerts when fish pass by. I’ve caught plenty of fish but rarely has it bussed. I have messed with sensitivity but nothing. I don’t believe I could troll around to find schools of fish with...
I own a 2006 Palm Beach 185 Bay Dancer and my fuel gauge just stop working several months ago. My boat mechanic said I need to take it to a fiberglass guy to replace sending unit. Not sure if he did any testing or just know it needs replacing. Is there anything else I could do first?
It went up fine when I took it back out alone and was running 35mph. Could having two grown men in boat cause the trim to be affected under way? It’s never been a problem until I had a rookie (car guy) clean my boat.
Yes I realize that and I was going down to get it to plane and up to increase speed but no increase of speed but no increase of speed. Also no water in bilge the auto never came on and I did manual and still no water.
Sorry for the long delay, I noticed it was a little sticky on the water line after I came back. I used some fiberglass cleaner and marine wax and it felt much smoother. I took it out the next day and was running 35mph but I was alone. A couple of you mentioned my trim on the motor and it did...
Hello I have a question, I had my boat cleaned and “waxed” which what was supposed to be done. After this I took it out the next day and could not get on plane with 4 people in boat which I always have until this so called cleaning. I’m running a 90 hp Yamaha. I notice water was pushing up on...
Thank all for your responses. I drained the bowel and flushed with bulb, also disconnected the hose at the engine and did an additional flush from the bulb. Went and filled up my tank with fresh fuel and it started on the muffs. Next day took it to the water on my trailer and it wouldn’t crank...
Hello, I have a 1985 25 hp Johnson that I’ve had for over 10 years and after sitting months I just change fuel and it starts right up. Lately I had it serviced and it ran fine but has sit for about 2-3 months and now it won’t start. Last time I took it out it had some fuel leaking from choke...
Hello I was reading something on one site where a guy asked what he needed to take out on his new to him boat, for a safe day out. Out of all the suggestion one person said fuses and breakers. I.have a 2006 Palm Beach boat and would like to know what fuses or breakers should I keep on my boat...
My on board one bank charger is making a fast clicking noise when I plug it in. I've changed batteries and it might charge normally but it always goes back to clicking. I put my car battery charger and it does the same. My trolling motor is hooked up to this battery I'm trying to charge. Any ideas!
My 1986 25 hp Johnson bendix won't engage. It was working when I sold it and bought it back 2 years later they said it wouldn't start so put another starter on. This won't engage the flywheel. Any ideas?
