    Rusty rocker switch contacts?

    Arrived home today and the new relay harness was in the mailbox waiting for me. Atlas overnighted me a new harness and a switch so atleast customer service is on point. Concrete crew was pulling out as we pulled in the boats new home is one step closer to being done.

    Rusty rocker switch contacts?

    It is we come every year for a week. The 4k acre lake is entirely set up to be able to reach all the attractions by boat. We just got back in from tubing for the last couple hrs. We got here Monday I've put 7.5 hrs on the outboard since we arrived . Grabbing some grub and then heading back...

    Rusty rocker switch contacts?

    The relay is bad. Swapping the switch down had power but nothing for up... cut and spliced wire after relay and ran jumper cables soon as I touched green wire jackplate went up. Still under warranty so a call to atlas will be in order

    Rusty rocker switch contacts?

    I didn't bring the ohm meter with me . The only other thing I think it could be is a relay has gone bad but they are sealed and have to be replaced with the whole harness. I'll swap the button in a bit it's just 4 Phillips screws. Worse case it's the relay and I'll have to bypass the relay to...

    Rusty rocker switch contacts?

    I have a rocker switch for my jack plate that has acted up the last couple trips. It only does it just after launching I hit the button and nothing. If I click it several times it starts to work and never an issue for the rest of the day. I've checked everything with an ohm meter all...

    Advice on new or rebuilt motor

    I ran a 20hp tohatsu on a 16ft alumacraft mod v. It worked really well on that boat. Not as fast as the 25hp 2 stroke it replaced but it had electric start and idled so quiet you would forget it was on.

    Best fishing poles.

    15years ain't bad MD let's em go much sooner. Few years ago they let a murderer out after serving 5yrs and in less than a a couple weeks he killed a police officer. I say judges should be held accountable for handing down lenient sentences and then they suspended half or more of that. When...

    Best fishing poles.

    I'm out in the Stix and 150yds off the rd with a gated driveway. It's a dead end dirt rd with a house every 1/4 mile. My boat stays in one of those tent/garage things untill the real garage is done. No thieves back here and in WV it takes big cajones to trespass and risk being shot on site...
