Hey boating folks..... likely an easy question for those more knowledgeable than me. I am hoping to go to a specific lake this summer than only allows 4 stroke and direct injection 2 stroke motors. Due to the age of my motor, I'm thinking I'm out of luck, but still want a confirmed answer, so...
Gang,
I've read numerous posts, however I seem to be getting more confused.
Can someone please point me in the right direction and where to start in the search for a solution to a volt meter not working. All other gauges appear to be working fine. Perhaps someone could advise the most likely...
Hey Gang...
For the amount I use my boat, I don't need the 'Cadillac' of chargers, however I also don't want the 'Pinto' that may damage a battery or reduce it's life expectancy.
Please tell me if this one on sale is ok...
Hi folks,
Living here in Canada, I bring my batteries in for the winter (2 trolling/ deep cycle & 1 starting).
I just put them on the smart charger, as they were all around 75-80% charge. I put each of them on the charger and they charged to 100% very quickly - probably too quickly. Then I...
What setting do I use on a dual purpose starter/ deep cycle battery? There are 3 settings on my digital smart charger: regular, marine/deep cycle, and AGM (which I know is not the correct setting)
I've searched and read many of the forums regarding marine batteries, however none that I have found have specifically answered my question. Can/ should a hybrid starting/ deep cycle battery be used for a trolling motor? Is there a large benefit to using a deep cycle vs. a hybrid for a trolling...
Hi Gang,
I have a 1996 Crestliner Sportfish, that I bought in the fall therefore have not had in in the water yet. I have a question about the wiring and which battery powers which accessories. It is a 3 battery setup.
I was confused when after tinkering I noted the starting battery powers the...
I've confirmed that the plug at the bow has power, however when I plug in the trolling motor it has absolutely no functionality. The battery meter also doesn't light up.
By chance is there an internal fuse or breaker....or is the whole unit or circuit board dead? If there a way to confirm what...
I'm looking for wiring and battery hookup direction/diagram for my 24v MinnKota.
I have 2 batteries for trolling/ accessories that are separate from a 3rd/ starting battery. From what I can see there are 3 cables (red, black & orange) running to the bow of the boat, were there is a 3 prong plug...
Basically, I'm an idiot when it comes to motors...but want to become better. This is mostly due to lack of exposure and tinkering.
It's been suggested to purchase an original owner's manual for my 1996 Johnson 115, however I want someone's advice whether I will benefit from it. For example, do...
As it was a nice winter day today, I took the tarp off of my Crestliner to take a look at her to see how she is making out through the winter. In addition to being surprised by the pleasant smell of Bounce dryer sheets (thanks to everyone for that mouse repellent tip), I found something that I...
*1996 Johnson 115*
Situation:
-new to boats with VRO and oil resevoir
-just noticed oil resevoir has a priming bulb
Question:
- Do I need to prime the oil priming bulb when starting the motor? ...or is it only to be used if the oil resevoir ever goes dry?
I couldn't find a thread on this or...
I want to get a spare tire for my Spartan trailer, and the only numbers I can find on the tire other than the PSI is C14 ST78. Is this a tire size? It's a 5 bolt. I've never seen a size identified like this before. If so, what common size tire can replace this tire?
Thanks for looking....
A few months ago I picked up a boat with a 1996 Johnson 115 V4, and since I don't know when/if the impeller was changed, I would like to change it to avoid any future problems.
I've never changed an impeller, therefore I'm looking for some instructions or better yet a...
