    Fish finder install help

    Please bear with me for this is my first install I have ever attempted to do. I just recently picked up an Eagle FishEasy 350c fishfinder on & would like to install myself. Going through the install instructions, it all seems fairly straight forward, but I do have one question I need a little...

    Re: 4 prong trailer wire replacement Better pic. Silvertip: There is no current white wire coming from the trailer end, there is a black though. Does the black (trailer) wire hook up the white (vehicle wire)?

    4 prong trailer wire replacement

    I am replacing the (vehicle end) trailer plug-in since it is old & pretty beat up. Sorry for my "lack" of correct terminology, I am far from being an electrician. When I tore off the electrical tape, this is what I found: The green (trailer) wire is connected to the green (vehicle) wire &...

    Prop slipping??

    The last few outings I have had, I noticed something going on & I am trying to figure out the problem. Took it to the dealer & he suspected something was pluggin up the carbs or fuel line, so he went through & cleaned them out. Took it out again this weekend & same thing happened! When I...

    I am looking for a fish finder for my pontoon. Don't need anything too fancy..... just a reliable & accurate unit that locates fish & good bottom structure readings. After searching them over on several websites, I am about cross-eyed & was seeking a little help from others with their...

    Bow mounted trolling motor.

    Would like to install my 55# trolling motor on bow & was looking for "homemade" ideas/pictures on how others came up with ways to do this. Don't do enough trolling to justify purchasing a mounting bracket.

    Transducer interference??

    I am looking at installing a fish finder soon. I already have a transducer for the depth finder along with another plastic thing (sorry, new to boating) that I would assume tracks the speed. If I installed the transducer from the fish finder next to these two existing ones, would I get get...

    Warning horn at low idle speed?

    I recently got a pontoon that has a 1994 115hp Johnson motor on it. At continous lower speeds (trolling or leaving a no-wake area on the lake) after about 1-2 minutes, the warning horn goes off in short continuous increaments. The horn immediately goes off when I throttle up faster. According...

    Where to get a new cover??

    I was on my way back home from an outing & the (original) cover on my 1994 24' Sundancer decided to give away. Was wondering if there were any recomendations on where to get a new one to fit this older model pontoon, so I can try to have the snaps line up exactly. Thanks

    Help....won't start & oil dripping out by propeller

    For starters, I have a 1994 Johnson 115hp V4. Went to take the boat out tonight & it wouldn't start. Initially thought that I had flooded it, so I removed the fuel line & bled it out. This wasn't the culprit, so I went back to pull the plugs to see how they looked & noticed oil floating on...

    Re-proping questions

    I have a 1994 24' pontoon with a 1994 Johnson 115 hp motor that I just purchased & hauled home. I live in Wyoming & 6300' higher in elevation from where I purchased the pontoon. On my first trip out, I was only able to go about 15 mph & seemed to be lacking the "umph". Spoke with my local...

    Elevation change question?

    Just purchased a new pontoon boat in Nebraska & brought it home to Wyoming. The boat has a 1994 115 hp Johnson on a 24' pontoon. There is a difference of 6300' in elevation from where I picked it up at & where I live. Is there anything special I need to do to the motor to adjust to this new...

    First outing.....questions

    Well, got the "new" toon out for the first time & came across several things that I have questions on. Motor (115 HP Johnson) started right up, but on several occasions, the warning horn went off in short continuous beeps which indicated no oil flow from pump. I immediately shut the engine off...

    Trailering question

    I just got a pontoon that has a 115 hp Johnson with power trim/tilt. The manual says to trailer the boat in the vertical (down) position if there is enough road clearance. If not, then I need to tilt the motor & lower down to the tilt support. Should I still consider getting a transom saver...

    Starter swap - Chrysler 75 hp

    I just replaced the starter in a 1973 engine with a rebuilt starter from a 1969 Chrysler 75 HP motor. It was my understanding that the parts were interchangable. When I go to start the motor, it appears that the index doesnt fully extend to the teeth of the fly wheel. I am far from being a...

    Pontoon towing

    I finally found a pontoon & I am off to pick it up next week. It is a 24' & I was wondering how well a Dodge Durango with the Hemi would pull it?? Or should I just pick it up with the Dodge 3500 diesel dually? Thanks

    Tubing with a pontoon

    Just was wondering what the best way to hook up a rope for tubing to a pontoon is? Can I just tie onto the tie-down eye's?
