    Mounting GPS and Sonar

    My lovely wife bought me a Garmin 498c Gps because my other chartplotter turned south. I have a 20' CC Scout with a 175 oceanpro. Anyway, I ran the cable for the transducer and mounted the unit on the console with no problems. When I went to mount the transducer, I noticed a bracket on the...

    Battery Switch

    I have 2 batteries and a switch that reads 1, all, and 2. I have been running the switch on all, but the mechanic told me to run it on one or two, never both. Just curious if this can possible damage to the power pack, rectifier, or stator. I just got the boat last year from my father-n-law, and...

    1996 175 Oceanpro- Kills

    I have a Scout202 with a Evinrude Oceanpro 175. I took the boat out 2 weeks ago fishing, and the boat ran fine for about 4 to 5 hours. I get about 200 feet from the launch and the engine kills. The engine would not run in the idle position, but would run rough without the drive engaged at about...
