If your going to be in skinny water the jack plate is one of the best places for it . IMHO It protects it from objects. When scanning you will be at really slow speeds 5 mph or less to get good images. When on plane either on the pod or a through hull is about your only choice for a clean 2d...

To me looks to be early 90’s I’ve had an 87 9.9 it was the light blue with emeblems like my 85 40 horse. Looks.similar to a 95 48 spl I had back in 1999. As you already know the welsh plug on the block is your best bet. Your best corse of action is to wait. Total bummer I know . It would suck to...

Those Johnson/ Evinrude motors of those vintage are work horses. Bet dollars to donuts it will run. If a visual inspection is ok and no water in the lower unit your probably ok. If it was me before dropping any money Check compression if it’s ok I would replace 1 water pump 2- t stat 3-plugs...

I’ve got a tracker 1648 Mvx . It’s a tank of a boat. Solid to say the least. I fish the semi famous Chickahominy river in Williamsburg Virginia which is a sort of brackish ( lower river) depending on amount or rain. I have to stay on top of my anodes so I have no corrosion . I’m not a huge fan...

If your running side imaging I would put it on the jack plate . 2d I would go with a thru hull or and in hull alumaducer. I would think you could mount a ducer on one of the pods and get a clean reading.

I tried that too . Not enough to clear

Please take this with a grain of salt as I run birds not Lowrance however it’s all the same for the most part. I’m running a helix 9 g3n si. It has a looong transducer. I run mostly electric only and horsepower restricted lakes. What I did so I don’t have to worry about trimming my motor...

If it was me before anything I would definitely leak check it. I agree the transom has had some work and needs some work. The hull dimensions say a 40 or 50 horse . Those are the dimensions of my grizzly 40 tiller and 50 with console.if the boat checks out after a good inspection and the transom...

Wow ! Bad luck! I’ve never seen a boat that new develop holes like that unless there was something going on. Electrolysis or fished in salt water or plain lack of care . Bummer!

For my money I went aluminum. Fish on fabrication to be exact. A little more money WAY better end result. Last one I had him make for me was 200 ish dollars. Compared to a plastic temptress hatch the aluminum is money better spent. The metal doesn’t crack and fade from sun exposure.

Jethro I have a 2018 bt terrova with the i-Pilot remote and a micro and yes it doesn’t have cruise control but it will do spot lock and turn autopilot on and off.

Here’s another for bunks. I ran a 77 long trailer with rollers on my last boat. The only way I know off to do it without causing a hook in the Hull is to land the rollers on top of the strakes of the boat. If you have them . Ran. A 1448 weld built mod v for almost 10 years launching on average...

There is a 3 wire plug that runs from the junction Terminal around the back of the motor and down the start side of the motor and plugged into the the harness coming from the vro pump. One of the wires are burnt up and broken off..

Thanks ! The vro is trashed the previous owner disconnected it. And the plug for it was burned up. So I just figured since I am use to premixing I would just stick with it like the old tried and true fuel pump. I cleaned up under the t-stat housing . It was not horrible It just had a powder...

Couple of things to think about. # 1 when I had an old i-Pilot it had a cable that went through the coil what I did was used rod sock type sheathing on the cable inside the coil. Then at the base of the coil and the motor I left about 10 inches and coiled the slack of the cable and zip tied the...

Greetings folks! I was blessed to be given the motor boat and trailer of course the boat and trailer are not worth anything. The motor I was hoping “fingers crossed here “ to get it breathing again. As these are work horse motors and have had a few lower horse powered rudes however never...

When you get it up and running you will quickly realize what you get for what you spend.All of us who have them swallowed hard but in this case the juice is worth the squeeze!

I have a 2019 grizzly 1648 I run electric only. It’s a heavy boat. With a 80 lb thrust in the front and 55 lb thrust in the back running at 1/2 speed it does about 3mph. When my 55 dies I’ll be putting another 80 or a 110 lb thrust This boat is a mod v but it’s a very stable boat. Very slow to...

Works like a champ! I’ve been doing it that way for years. It’s not perfect as I still loose a few but it’s better than before.

Lol! You don’t live in Virginia . Game wardens which is who patrols around here gave me a ticket last year for the registration letter and numbers which I might add were put on by dealer were to close to each other. Who wants a good day spoiled by something so trivial? It just gives them...
