I was preparing to put a new primer bulb in my line when I noticed the crimps previously used are not ones I recognize. How do I remove these so I can reuse them?
So I am not sure if this just happened after I launched, or if that is when I noticed it. I think my passenger rear brake is hung. It kind of "clunks" when I put it in drive from park or after reverse and the passenger rear side almost feels and looks lower than the rest of the vehicle. Is my...
I am trying to run my fish finder wire from the back (sensor) of my boat to the front (display). Since I have no floor boards the easiest way seems to be running them under the "lip" of the top of the boat. I have two questions:
1. How do I keep the wire up under the lip (The lip curls under...
So I am setting up my boat with a trolling motor, depth finder, and battery and have a good idea of placement but wanted to get everyone's feedback. The pic and diagrams below hopefully will help you get an idea of what I am talking about. Are there any problems with having the battery so far...
I need help either finding my fuel filter, or advise on if I should install one. As mentioned in the title, I have an '85 9.8 hp outboard that is new to me as of last summer. I am doing some winter maintenance and don't see a fuel filter. From the manual I bought online (not great picture...
I am doing spring maintenance and went to lube my wheels and found what you see below (one pic of each hub). The cover says they are SUP-R-LUBE systems by Tie Down Engineering. I feel certain there is a grease port in there somewhere, I just don't know how to access it and can't find directions...
In what may be a series of rookie questions I am starting a new thread on where to charge my battery. You can see my thread on batteries and chargers here if you like: http://forums.iboats.com/electrical-electronics-audio-trolling-motors/first-time-battery-charger-questions-591879.html

So I just got an Everstart 24DC marine battery (EverStart Group Size 24DC Marine Battery: Automotive : Walmart.com) and a Schumacher XC6 charger (Schumacher XC6 Battery Charger - Walmart.com).
Is this a good combo for charging?
Also, I have a 12' aluminum V-hull and am going to run my cheap...
I am in Baton Rouge for a few days and thought I might get a line wet. Anyone have a recommendation on a close spot for some bass or crappie? No boat. I know I am throwing a bit of a hail mary here as fishing posts don't seem to have a great response time. I guess that's why it's "iboats" not...
I have an 85 9.8hp Merc, serial number is A176805. I believe I have the problem mentioned here: http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=566490 where I have no reverse or neutral. I have only had it on the water a month or so and it has been running so I figured I would not mess with it until...
Re: Transom replacement on my 12' Sears tinny
Done! Did not even need the acetone (used some rubber gloves and it wiped right off with a dry rag). Here's a pic with the finished product and motor mounted. I will have to take a couple without the motor but I was too excited to take them first...
Re: Help! My '85 9.8 Mercury will not turn!
I also cannot figure out how to tilt it up, and the steering handle is not in line with the motor which seems odd. As you can see from the second pic below part of the reason it is not turning is because the handle does not clear the mounting bracket...
I am sure there is a simple explanation for this, but I just installed a new wood transom brace for my boat and my motor is now attached but won't turn. It does not even move far enough to go straight, much less turn the other way. Is there some lock I am missing? I have never put it on the...
Re: Transom replacement on my 12' Sears tinny
So I mention to my wife that I have to run to Home Depot, again, and guess what she finds?
That's the brand most of you all use right? ;) Saves me a trip, Win!
