Ok OptiMax owners - I am switching from Quicksilver Premium Plus (green) to Mercury OptiMax DFI 2 stroke synthetic blend oil. I have about a half a tank of the Quicksilver oil in the reservoir, is it ok to mix them? I don’t want to start a debate on which one is best, just wanting to know the...
Yep so I actually ordered a new plug receptacle for my dad's boat and we both have the same mount. The hope is we can swap motors depending on if one is out of service.
My 2020 Terrova has to go in for warranty repair, my father has an Ulterra that he is going to let me use while mine is in for service. Question is related to the Minn Kota GPS Puck, he has one on his boat and I have one on mine. Is there anything I need to do in order to get his to Ulterra to...
I just received my Mercury Vessel View yesterday and installed it. When I bought my 2007 Lowe Fish and Ski 175 I was told it had low hours. Wanting the detailed gauges, the ability to track engine hours and read diagnostics codes - it made the Mercury Vessel View a no brainer. To my delight...
Here is a tape measure hanging off the top of my transom. The motor won't sit very low on the perch because it is so shallow of a transom.
Taking tips on hanging the bugger also, I don't want a jack plate.
The hoses are two different sizes so I got a vacuum carb kit at a local parts store with two different fittings on the ends, hope that works. Does it hurt if water gets in that line?
Hello,
I pulled by boat out of the water today and noticed this rubber hose (looks like it was spliced previously) broken in have. Can anyone tell me what it is? The hose comes out of the motor`s lower unit on that fitting and goes up inside. Sorry don't know much about these. It is a 2007...
Spot lock is awesome, you will also like the feature that allows you to record up to 2 miles of GPS tracking. So if you know you pick up fish along a certain contour or depth of water, record the track and then you can go back to it day after day, year after year. I have 5 tracks recorded and...
That is actually the Terrova that came with the boat, I had a brand new one on my Lund that I put on this boat. So I actually have a perfectly working 24V 80lb Terrova with iPilot if anyone is interested. I use the Terrova to steer the boat using I link and use the kicker to help push the boat...
Thanks for the reply. A couple of questions, I guess I will start with the obvious - are you saying to take a few pieces of oak, glue them together, wrap them in aluminum and then run 8 bolts through the transom? If so, where would I run the bolts through? Along that bottom edge I could see...
Hi guys,
Has anyone ever added a 9.9 kicker to a 2007 Lowe FS175?
I know I can add a lift plate but would prefer to not drill through the transom if possible. I have about 2 1/2 inches from rear deck to the top of the transom. Is this enough? Anyone ever added a piece of wood or aluminum to...
