I have a MinnKota 12V 55# Terrova Power Drive which I need to hook up to a battery. It will be about a 6' run from the plugin to the batt and was wondering if 8 Ga. would be heavy enough for that distance? Thanks
What size (amp) of circuit breaker would you want to use for a Minn Kota 12V. 55# Terrova to be on the safe side? I realize that too big of a amp.setting might do as much damage as too low. Thanks
I have been thinking of replaceing my Sonar with a Lowrance Hds-5x and have noticed that you can either get one with a 50/200 or 83/200 transducer. I will be fishing mostly in water under 100' and was wondering if there is a advantage of one over the other? Thanks
I have a SeaArk 1860 MV with a aluminum side console that over the years has began to crack in several places. I had thought about replaceing it with a fiberglass console and found a G3 overstocked one on ebay for the right price. It comes with all the switches and what I want but no...
I have a 1998 Mecury 60 hp. electric on my SeaArk which I use on the Missouri River with a LOT of sand. I don't have a book for the 60 horse but I do have one for a 2001 125 hp. Mercury. Just wondering if it would be the same process to replace the pump? I have replaced pumps on some of my...
I installed a Lowrance 510c on my boat this spring and have noticed that when I have the graph on and turn my marine band radio on (Uniden Oceanus) I get a lot of static to where you can't hear any transmissions on it. I have the graph wired to the battery with a separate wire and the radio...
I have a 02 Starcraft 190 that I bought used. When I was out the other day I filled my livewell and it seemed to work ok as I filled it with no problem. I noticed when I got ready to go in that the light on the rocker switch was lite up in the off position. The pump will run in the rec. mode...
I installed a Lowrance 510C on my "02" Starcraft 190 LE. When I put the transducer on the back of the boat I mounted it on a 3" X 5" peice of nylon type board glued to the transom. The bottom of the boat has a 15 degree upward slope from the center to the outside. When I mounted the...
I bought two used Mag 10 downriggers a while back and finally have had time to start to mount them on my boat (19' Starcraft). I am useing a 110 type plug (male & female) with 12-2 rubber covered wire. The wire is about 4' long overall and connected to the battery with a 25 amp fuse. When I...
I am in the process of looking for a color graph to replace my old one. I bought a "02" 19 ft. Starcraft (another story) this summer with a Lowrance X-98 D/F on it. The graph is OK but I would like to upgrade to a color unit that that I can use with a downrigger. I want to stay with Lowrance...
I have bought a 2002 Sarcraft "Starfire LE 190" with a 2002 125 Mecury ELPTO. When I took the hood off to check it out I noticed that on the right side of the motor (Standing behind it) there was a light brown and a brown with a white stripe wire that were unpluged. I pluged them back...
I picked up a new BassPro charger 5/5/5 the other day but did not get a owners manual with it. Was wondering how to tell if it's set on gel or lead/acid for charging? Any help would be great. Thanks!
Goodmorning: I have bought a boat over the internet and when I got it home I noticed that the left front windshield looked like it was out of line a little. When I checked it out I noticed the curve of the windsheild had came loose from the rubber gasket and was not fully seated. Can a...
Hi, I just got my boat home that I had bought out of state and need to remove the Registration No's. The problem is they are foil backed and don't want to peel off very easy. Was wondering if there is a method that I have missed in removing them without hurting the paint? Any ideas? Thanks...
I have gotten a 3 bank charger for my boat to charge two 12 volt batterys and plan on mounting it in the front section of the boat. What I was wondering about is the leads for the cranking battery will not reach to the back of the boat where the cranking batt. is. Will it hurt to splice the...
