    Battery question

    Hi guys. I am wanting to throw a small stereo unit in my Alweld 1652 jet boat. Just a bluetooth receiver and two small speakers. Right now I have a 12V deep cycle battery up front for the trolling motor, and a 12V cranking battery in the rear. I don't really want to add another battery as I...

    Another Tilt/Trim leaking down slowly...

    Few beers + lack of boat knowledge = tilt motor in pieces After reading a bunch of threads on this great forum (and with some liquid encouragement) we tried to fix it. We started by taking out the two snap rings at the bottom, which is where I thought the seals were that we needed to replace...

    Coil Testing???

    My 1974 9.9HP Johnson is not getting spark on the lower cylinder. Both coils are fairly new and from what I can see, are in great condition. Could I have a bad lower coil? I tested the coil with an ohm meter but I don't know what I should be getting. I am getting a few ohms from the hot wire...

    New prop???

    My 9.9HP Johnson seems to have a tough time pushing my 17' Fisher, which I thought it would do pretty well. The prop is in pretty bad shape. No major dings or anything just some pretty rough edges from gravel and stuff. If I got a new prop with no problems, and possibly the correct size and...
