I can’t remember exactly which one I purchased. I believe it was off of an evinrude. I bought the trim switch tiller mount, and switch/wiring harness assy. I couldn’t do it the way it is outlined by the previous post, so I just taped it to the end. Ran the wires external and into the cowling...

I just started running a jet on my 1648. It is a riveted boat. Tohatsu 30/20, 24 volt trolling motor, full decks (aluminum), and normal fishing gear. I clocked 24 mph down stream and 23 up. Runs in practically nothing. I went through 4” of water last weekend. That was a bit hair raisining...

1648 Riveted Generation 3, custom decks and transom riser, 30 hp tohatsu Carbed motor

Good morning y’all, A couple weeks ago I decided to jump into the “final” (probably not) project for my boat. I recently purchased a tohatsu 30 hp 4 stroke, the weight of the 4 stroke was beginning to bent the transom outward as well as twist it rearward. After drilling a core sample I found...

I had a 1988 Johnson 25 not too long ago. In my research i found the difference between a 25 and 35 was the intake size, both the throat size of the intake and the overall internal dome size. Your motor should already have the 35 carb on it. When I had that motor i did change out the 25 carb to...

Nice work there sir! I am about the start a project very similar to yours. I plan to us my existing transom tin though. May I ask what thickness aluminum rectangle you used?

I would say remove a bolt or other painted component and bring it to an automotive paint shop that can mix aerosol cans. I literally just did this today. Bought a motor and the previous owner primed the hood without realizeing the paint code was discontinued from Suzuki. Went to the auto paint...

Believe it or not the aluminum cost was not that bad at all. I was able to get all of mine at the scrap yard at a far lesser cost. The trolling motor will last me all day long when on a medium low speed and fighting river current. Even though mine is the lower end minn Kota edge, I upgraded to...

Welcome to the board sir! I have a G3 1648 and 30 hp Nissan 4 stroke, PT&T, electric start. Front decks made from aluminum as well as my two group 27 batteries up front for the 24 V Minn-Kota. Sitting in the water my boat is very well balanced. With just me it does slightly nose down, not...

I ran a 25 hp 1988 Johnson on my old 1440. It was a little heavy, trolling motor, battery, casting decks. The motor had the stock 15 pitch prop. I was running 32 mph with it. Once I hit 33. It was downright scary. I can't for the life of me remember the RPMS I was turning. But I was to say it...

If you use your iPhone or other smart phone to take the pics, don't take them with the phone vertical. Take them horrizontal. That's what I found worked. I take all my pics with my IPhone 6+.

First order of business would be figuring out why the shaft came out, or rather why the motor fell off. If the housing is cracked at the threads, or the shaft is broken. Then those componens need to be replaced. If I were you I would remove the cover on the top of the trolling motor. There...

I installed a homemade jack plate on my old 1440 with Johnson 25. It had approximately 3" of offset. I was able to have my AV plate 2.5" above the bottom of my boat. I had a standard 15 pitch aluminum prop with no cup. Out of the hole it would slip a little but I could power right through and it...

Looks awesome! Now what you need to do is convert that edge to variable speed like I did! Heading to the river tomorrow for some fishing and to try it out for the first time since the mod. Sorry to kind of high jackcthe thread with all this jibber jabber

Not sure how the OP ordered, but, I called hem dorect. Very nice people. And yes, cutting out cabelas saves loads of money. Especially if you order more than one. If I remember correct they are very cheap on shipping as well. Also you can order them with locking, non locking, as well as painted...

Do they leak? My Trolling batteries are going below them as well. Mine do not. They simply fill up to the top and spill over. If I remember correct the corners are welded. I need to have nipples welded onto mine. For proper drainage.

Very nice. I bought custom sized hatches from them for my build. You will not be disappointed. The only thing I would change is to have a nipple tig welded on the bottom for a drain tube. The inner lips tend to fill up in a rain storm. I could drill a hole and let it drain straight down but...

Those look like R&R design hatches?

Those answers were sort of my fear. My boat has a 35 hp limit so at the time the 30 4 stroke was perfect for me. I bought it at a fairly good price from a buddy and he also threw in a CMC jack plate for it as well, which I never installed because it is massive and rated up to 150 hp. $1700 for...

Good evening all, I have an older riveted Generation lll 1648 with a 2005 Nissan 30 four stroke with power tilt and trim. Currently it is setup as a prop and runs my boat fairly well. Even being it has the older 1.9 gear ratio lower unit instead of the updated 2. Something. I hit 29 mph when...
