I'm looking to replace my Lowrance X52 fishfinder that came with the boat to a GPS/chartplotter/fishfinder unit. I'm more interested in the GPS feature. At first I was just going to get a tablet and Navionics but I know the tablet or phone will overheat in no time in the SC heat/sun. So that's...
Got the boat out for the 1st time in 5 years yesterday.
Here's my dilema. Since I've gotten it up and running a couple months back I have been starting it weekly in the yard and letting it come to temp. Turn it off and on a few times. Idle falls down to about 700. Seems like I could let it sit...
I was hoping it was just a blown fuse. So I swapped the fuse and that one blew also. The breaker at the console pops out so I reset it and before it does pop the bilge light blinks a few times. The float isn't stuck. Moves up and down Haven't figured out if there's a way to disassemble it to...
This is driving me crazy now. I've pulled the sending unit and the gauge. I tested the resistance on the sending unit and it ranges from 30-200. I've tested the gauge and sending unit using 12V and it works. Reinstall it and it's again on E. I replaced the connections at the sending unit...
Boat has basically been sitting for a few years. Needs some TLC. Starter looks to be dead. Just doesn't engage. Getting signal when in Start position. Can't even jump the terminals to start.
Need to make sure I'm getting the right one for the boat. I haven't removed the old one yet. Will it...
Would it be a safe alternative to jump from the trailer to the tongue with a ground wire? Every time I lower onto the hitch the lights turn off. Even if I just lift on the tongue they flicker. I've cleaned as much rust as I can reach.
Which kit will work for my 07 Merc 3.0?
The only thing I can tell you is I have 3/8" ID fuel line.
The one I've been looking at like the Sierra is for engines 200+hp. The 10 micron is better also right?
Yeah yeah I know I'm asking for it. "fill it up right"
It's empty. There was concern with old fuel so i ran it the last few days all out up and down the river. Took a few hours but it's empty. It sat under E for probably 30 minutes..
Anyway what should I do from here? I can't pull the tank...
Need help finding the repair kit for my TKS carb.
My engine SN is 1A070072.
the number stamped on the side of my carb is 866140001
the number below that number is 33 7328
trying to troubleshoot my rough running 3L merc. starts fine and runs great for 15- 20 minutes. go to start again after some relaxing and it gives me a hard time. doesn't want to idle and will stall.
thinking bad or dirty fuel. i will pull the fuel filter when i get time but if it comes...
Finally got the boat out onto the water this past weekend. I started it up just fine on the muffs in the yard to clean it out and let it run for 10 minutes or so. Turned it off and waited a minute and started it right back up fine.
Get out on the water and she starts fine at 1st. Go cruising...
I want to winterize my alpha this year and save some costs from having the dealer do it. Reading around it doesn't sound that difficult to do.
I read through the manual and have some questions though. These are probably easy questions but I'm a newbie and there is no such thing as a stupid...
went out yesterday for a few hours on one of the local lakes. usually busy on holiday weekends. yesterday looked slow when we got there.
went out did some fishing and relaxing. decide to pack it up because we had more plans for the night. went in to the launch early thinking it might be...
I've got a 2008 Glastron GT with a 130hp merc on it. Took it out in the river last weekend and hit a few rocks pretty hard. Enough that I need a new prop. But I also dented up the lower gear housing pretty good. I don't believe anything inside got damaged because the boat seemed allright...
