    Minn Kota 3hp...anyone have one?

    Long story short, I have one I took apart, found the board was bad, and two years later someone is kind enough to rebuild the board. I've scrounged the parts, but have no idea how to wire the switch. I found this thread but the pic isn't very clear, and a lot of the wires are already off...

    Recomment a new trolling motor

    I currently have an older 3HP Minn Kota that has served me well for 25 years or so. It was supposedly around 48lbs of thrust, and was about perfect for the pond I usually fish. IF I do have to buy a new trolling motor, what is recommended now? I would like to have a basic transom mount, 12V...

    Minn Kota 3HP S/S trolling motor troubleshooting

    I have an older Minn Kota 3HP trolling motor that I bought in the late 80's. Hasn't been used a lot, and last week when I took it out for the first time this season, it didn't work. I tried turning it on and spinning the prop by hand, and got nothing but a whine. I pulled the bottom end apart...

    Lower unit oil change 6 Horse Evinrude

    I read the sticky on changing the lower unit oil. My question is regarding filling the unit through the "drain/ fill hole". I assume the motor is sitting upright during this procedure, so I'm wondering why you wouldn't pop the top and bottom plugs out, allowing the oil to drain the bottom...

    1969 Johnson 6 horse, no start, recoil starter reinstall

    Have an old Fisherman that a buddy gave me. We got it going with a new fuel pump, but would only run with choke on. I took carb apart (looked clean) and installed a carb kit. Now it won't start at all, so I have to take the carb back off and inspect. Other problem I have is I had to take the...

    CDI, Sierra, or Mallory coils? what impeller?

    I notice Iboats has CDI, Sierra, and Mallory coils listed for my 1969 6hp Evinrude. Any of these better than the others? What about impellers? They have Sierra and Mallory listed...... Going to go through this old motor and see if I can get it tuned up well, but want to make sure I use...

    1969 (?) Evinrude 6 horse, no start, couple of ?'s

    I inherited what I think is a 1969 Evinrude 6 horse outboard. When I got it the motor wouldn't run, so I took it to the local outdoors shop (which has since closed) and they charged me $35 and it ran like a top when I got it back. I last ran it in late Feb when I picked it up from the duck...
