Well I'm own my second Nitro and have been lucky I guess. I will say this with all due respect to the Nitro brand. Wood as we all know is a bad thing in a boat! I think the fact Nitro still uses it and the horror stories of bad customer service will send my looking at a different brand for my...

Well I'm coming over from NTOWS to Transom Talk. Looking forward to continuing the great conversations and advice I have always recieved.

I very much appreciate this site! Best thing on the web :D

Will do guys. I am thinking it is the switch. I remembered today that I had this happen several years ago on a 170tf. It rained in it one night and the next day the nav light switch was off but the indicator light was on. Changed the switch and fixed it.

I lube mine with silicone spray. I found in time the white lithium will attract every dirt and dust molecule around and become pretty sticky.

I measured all my boards and built them ahead of time. When I went fishing I changed them out before reloading and heading home. Only took about 30 min.

I have not seen a trolling battery wire into the charging circuit of an outboard. I could be wrong but the outboard only charges the cranking battery unless you have some sort of aftermarket system installed.

The trim indicator has a sender unit on the motor. Could be the sender or the guage or even a wire problem. Mine has never worked and to be honest with some seat time in your boat you will not need it. If you insist on it working, check for power to the indicator guage first. Then I would put a...

If you are talking about the "Skeg" being bent. It is the fin (so to speak) that is below your prop. I straighted one out years ago. Had to remove the lower unit and had to be real careful to not overheat or break it off.

Thanks for the info guys. I found a used unit on ebay fairly cheap. Im going to take a chance on it before dishing out a grand on the new one.

If it is a foot controled trolling motor it should turn clockwise if you are looking at it as you stand on the boat deck with it turned like you are trolling forward.

I purchased the Duracell AGM's from Sams Club. Three year free replacement warranty. No complaints so far. I have a 12v 50lb trolling motor, fished 9hrs the other day with it on 5 all the time. Did a lot of power fishing in some light current. Still strong at the end of the day. Cost is pretty...

According to the literature I read there is only pressure on the system when trimming down. I did however engage the lever to support the motor. The fluid is not squirting out due to pressure it just runs out of the fill cap. If I add it runs straight out.

Thanks but it says the same generic instructions as i have already read. This is by far the most frustrating issue I have ever had with my boat. Being a mechanic by trade I hate the thought of carrying it to a local shop because none have a good reputation.I could not even get a straight answer...

I will check the oil level and o ring on the cap. If it does need a rebuild i have searched the web for a kit and they show no longer avialable. You guys have a particular business or individual you recommend to do that kind of repair if necessary? What is the correct procedure to fill and bleed...

Put it on the water and leak test. Check all switches, pumps, nav lights, etc.. I would not be concerned with speedometer or trim gauage not working. Speedo is not worth having and trim guage is easily fixable, they do tend to fail a lot. I elected not to repair mine last time it failed. You can...

I'm on my second Nitro. Bought it used, it's a 1994 and I have not had any major issues. I can see being a little bothered on a brand new one but stuff just happens. I have had issues with lots of new items vehicles, lawnmowers, etc.. I would certainly without hesitation get another Nitro if I...

You can try Great Lakes Skipper or Custom Mold and Tint. Google them both. Skipper may have it in stock as where Custom will make it. If you don't have the original one or a console that is the same they have very detailed instructions on how to make a template.
