Very interesting! Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the link! I'll be checking this out thoroughly, my wife wants a new seat for the back deck of the Lowe!

Super rig! Congratulations!

I am going with a garmin 7 unit on the console with a cheap lowrance hook 2 unit up front on the trolling motor this year. In the past I've used birds and eagles. Just felt it was time for an upgrade since I'm hanging onto the boat for a while. I like the simplicity of the garmin units...

Midgets, sprint cars, mini sprints, modifieds, Formula BMW, I have either driven or crew chiefed something on or off for the last 30 plus years. Not so much any more, but I still get the urge every time I go watch...Those are awesome cakes too!!!

Welcome aboard fellow Hoosier!

I've only owned on Quantum in my life. I bought it as an emergency replacement the day before a tourney when one of my primary reels was damaged. Never did perform for me. It didn't show all that corrosion, but it needed torn down and lubed about once a month or the bearings would start singing...

Installed the new regulator, tach is still inop. So, looking like a bad gauge after all. I'm going to try the wrap a wire around the spark plug wire type tach just to see if I can get a read on the RPMs. Take a look at the prop and see if you think it can be refurbed or just becomes the...

Finally got out last night for a while after the downpours last weekend. Motor in second hole, less one battery (now two), a little over a half tank of gas and I can get 20-21 mph on the clock. Regulator is on the way to see if that will make the tach operate normally. Re-stuffed the pedestal...

Thanks, I'll be giving this a try soon!

Probably will keep two for the time being. You are right about the trickle charger, I've got an 08 vintage deep cycle still going strong.

Small update, while I was chasing an electrical issue with the anchor winch I found something important. The electronic winch had a broken negative wire at the terminal where it was attached to a 27 series battery. It was the ONLY thing attached to the third battery. The third battery is now out...

Noted, thanks for the tip!

Quite possible as the cranking battery has been replaced.

Understood. Will definitely give that a shot as I have the chance. Faria tach, warning lights and buzzer work. Getting power, checked with meter, so it seems that the tach itself is possibly the issue. Digital will be here after the holiday so I can give that a shot as well.
