    How to tell what transducer you have (Hook 5)

    I still haven't heard back from Lowrance but @dingbat ... Would a 5-pin transducer also provide downscan? I can't get my boat on the water yet because I haven't finished putting the decking back on. My Hook 5 is just 'HOOK 5', there isn't Reveal. The back accepts 7-pins but the connector from...

    How to tell what transducer you have (Hook 5)

    I finally found a spot on the cable that I could read. The only thing on the cable is M-0025. At first I thought it's for a HTS-WSBL 83/200 but The HTS-WSBL connector is a 7-pin connector with a blue screw-on. My connector is blue screw-on but it's a 5-pin connector BUT the back of the Hook 5...

    How to tell what transducer you have (Hook 5)

    That makes sense, when I read the manual it says you have to choose what the frequency is, but I don't know. Everything I've read says to read the cable info but it's all faded away. This is what my transducer looks like exactly, but the connector in the picture is NOT what I have. Mine is a...

    How to tell what transducer you have (Hook 5)

    It looks exactly like the Lowrance Splitshot Skimmer Transducer except for the connector. My connector is a blue screw-on for transducer, red screw-on for power. I'm done redoing all electrical wiring in the boat and am putting the decking back on with new carpet, so I will get it in the water...

    How to tell what transducer you have (Hook 5)

    I have a Hook 5 on my boat and am trying to find out what transducer I have but can't read the letters on the cable, they're too worn off. Is there another way to tell what transducer you have? All I've found is to read it off the cable. Thanks for any help.

    Need help with delayed power to trolling motor, Nav lights.

    Well I've taken the floors out of the boat and rewired the entire thing. Kinda went overboard with the gauge though. Trolling Motor has 4 awg red/black from front of boat to back (about 20-22 feet counting angles) Put a 60 amp terminal fuse at the battery for the trolling motor, changed all...

    Need help with delayed power to trolling motor, Nav lights.

    I think the cable to the trolling motor is 6 which seems fine. It's about 16' to the trolling motor connection and 16' back. I guess I could/should test it with a battery right next to the trolling motor. Just have to get some new cable to test. Thanks for the input, frustrating.

    Need help with delayed power to trolling motor, Nav lights.

    -- 1980's Sea Nymph "Fishing Machine" 16'-6" aluminum boat I used to have 2 batteries, one up front for the trolling motor and one in back for start/bilge/aerator/navigation pole + front red/green light. I upgraded my 25hp Merc to a 50hp Yamaha with an alternator and went with 1 Optima Blue Top...

    Trailer driving lights do not work, what I've done so far...

    Wow, I've never unplugged the lights before backing the trailer into water. I'm an idiot, doh! Awesome suggestion, I'm always thinking of something else at that point.

    Trailer driving lights do not work, what I've done so far...

    Finally found fuse #15 and it IS blown. That's good and bad. It's a 20 fuse, gotta go get some but then I might find out why it's blown. Thank you all so much! Gotta get this done!

    Trailer driving lights do not work, what I've done so far...

    Thank you all, trying to work this out today. @dingbat I have a 4-flat tester that plugs into trailer-side of the 7 pin connector. The tail light blade is dead. The L-turn, R-turn both work. Trying to figure out which fuse is which atm. Checking the URL listed above.

    Trailer driving lights do not work, what I've done so far...

    It's a 2014 Chevy Silverado, 4x4. Yes the tail lights work on the Truck. I turned the headlights on, tail lights come on, do not turn on on the trailer. I did have to bring the truck in for wiring issues (mice) maybe 1/2 year ago. Not sure how to find where the failure would be on the truck...

    Trailer driving lights do not work, what I've done so far...

    Left Turn, right turn, brake all work fine. Driving lights do not work. 1. I tried a different (new) trailer tail-light, same thing. 2. Cleaned the ground near hitch as well as the ground at the tail-light. (same thing) 3. Ran my own trailer wiring harness from the truck, grounded to trailer...

    water tank for 25hp Mercury 2-stroke, not peeing

    I replaced the waterpump/impeller a couple years ago, so I doubt that's the problem. I'm hoping it's the water level in the tank. Gotta figure out a way to either raise the tank or lower the motor. Thanks all, I'll update when I figure the tank issue out.

    water tank for 25hp Mercury 2-stroke, not peeing

    I had the boat out about 3 months ago and it ran great. I took it off the boat and kept it in the garage over winter (not much of a winter). I have a garbage can that I turned into a water tank for the outboard, even put a drain near the bottom :) The motor currently sits on an outboard cart...

    Help with trailer rear bearing replacement

    Thanks for the quick answers! I did not replace the race. The kit came with bearings, hub, wheel nuts, and 2 seals per hub. (different diameters). Every video I've seen showing the rear bearing/seal shows space between the rear bearings and the seal. That's what threw me off. I continued...

    Help with trailer rear bearing replacement

    I think I screwed up installing the rear bearings. When you take the hub off and punch out the rear bearings, the seal comes out as well. When I put new bearings & rear seal in, I noticed there is free space between the rear bearings and the seal. Instead of installing the rear seal flush to...

    Jack Plate question regarding short shaft vs. long (standard) shaft

    It's all aluminum and stainless steel trim, no fiberglass. The bar that looks out of place is just to protect the inside of the transom from the motor screws. The fact it was cut down does allow some water in if a decent size wave hits the transom but like I said, the transom is ~17 1/2 inches...
