To test the motor itself, bypassing the relays and relay wiring, find the two heavy gauge wires that lead to the trim/tilt pump motor. One should be green and the other blue. You will probably be...
Ok, well without the charger on the battery it tests out at 13.3v or somewhere close to that. I checked at the battery terminals, at the solenoid and then at the red wires in solenoid box for the trim. Everything else seems to work, have not tried firing boat as I don't want to mess with water...
I checked it again, battery showing about 70-75% charge and I am getting 12.04vdc at the red wire(s) at each solenoid. I still get nothing. The switch at the motor I thought had a click feel in the past, it doesn't now, but I did unhook with no change. As I said, I added that switch a dozen...
Well it was just under 12v i think. I'll go back and check in while. Battery is showing 60% charged on the charger. It was low. I wondered if too low, but everything else was working and my basically dead batteries, in the past that i soon replaced, would almost always activate the...
Think I found the one you mention. Kind of shaped like a bullet and really short fuse. It tests good and I get 12v to each red lead going to each relay. ****I ohm'd the fuse and I also placed it in the hot side of holder and took a reading through the fuse and got 12v.
Doing some digging and I'd think it'd have to be a fuse, which I can't find....unless there are some under the console, which I haven't looked under yet. There are two relays in the relay box for the tilt/trim and my understanding is one is for up, the other for down. I have neither, so for...
My 86 Ranger 373v with E XP-150 worked fine last time out, which I hate to say was last year. It now has no power to the trim. I lowered it before winter and tarping the boat. I'm finally trying to get her out, so I can hit the lake this summer while time still left, but the trim won't raise...
Doesn't always idle when going into neutral, so she stalls out. I'm really thinking just an idle adjustment issue, but I'm at the lake and don't have my manual. I've looked online a bit but get lots of didn't things and not always telling me how to adjust idle. I visually checked fuel...
86 ranger 373v 18' bass boat.
I had a motor guide 12/24v motor, but it didn't have much hold against wind, so I traded it for a pinpoint 3700 with 7500 control unit. ended up breaking part of the case on the control part of the actual motor before I had chance to use. Had to pull it...
seems this has been touched on before, but here's my deal. I have an 86 ranger 373v with metal flake. It is very chalky and I know the only way to fix perfectly is to spray new gel coat.
Curious of results using a spray can of acrylic enamel to quickly add a layer of clear. Anyone have...
I have an 86 373v that has been an excellent boat and with its age I doubt I could ever get what I'd want out of her to justify selling.
With that said I'm looking into redoing the carpet and the seat covers. If I'm not mistaken and if nothing has changed in last few years since last...
My 86 Ranger sat for last year and half because I needed to replace the midshaft exhaust gasket. I finally completed that and the boat wasn't idling well, so I ran out to a marine shop at the lake....5hrs away. Don't trust local shop anymore and this one is by my cabin.
He checked...
So I had a 12/24v power guide(?) 45 thrust, thinking original to boat, 86 ranger. A buddy was selling his boat and he had a Pinpoint 3700 trolling motor with a Pinpoint 7500 depth finder. Considering the pinpoint, should in theory be better and bigger, we swapped it out to my boat prior to...
Needless to say, most likely due to metal flake, my '86 ranger 373v is rough to touch and the luster is gone. It looks great when wet, is there a good way to bring this back?
I thought I've read in the past clear coat won't lady and that it likely would need gel reapplied. I've been talking...
