Bob - It appears that the motor is charging the battery. I'll be sure to check the thermostat and poppet valve. Thanks.

Thanks guys for the asist. I'll look into your suggestions and let you know what I find out. God Bless America!!! GBA!!!

Thanks for the feedback Bob. I ensure all batteries (3) are green before each trip to the water. I don't charge them until the night before the trip. A few months when it initially alarmed, I didn't notice the rpm meter not working. I noticed it on Saturday and it flat-lined on me and then it...

Thanks for the info. I would read my manual if I had one, but there was no manual available when I bought the boat from a guy. I'm waiting to get one in the mail this week.

GRR - Your second comment is very interesting. Interesting because I was just told by a boat shop last weekend to run 90 or 93 octane in my Mercury motor. Can you elaborate about costing me some big $$$ down the road? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jim B.

Will do.

So do you think it's a good idea for me to grab some Star Tron and treat my gas if I stored my boat last year with only about 1/2 - 1/4 tank of gas? I've been reading about the Star Tron product but haven't had the opportunity to speak to anyone about it.

Kenny, I had the same alarm (beep) last week on my Mercury EFI 150 hp motor. It was a steady alarm that sounded for about 1 minute. As a precautionary I took it to the boat shop (where it remains) but I was told by the technician that it probably alarmed due to overheating. My boat ran fine...

cp4000 - I had the muffs on when it fired it up weekly. No worries, I'm not offended. Good info is always welcomed by me.

I've ordered a Mercury manual but have yet to receive it. Thanks for all the info.

seabass81 - Thanks and I will do that look-see before I go out again. You're right about winterizing, I didn't do it last year but will be sure to this year. Randy - It was a continuing alarm that lasted for a minute. I have a Mercury EFI 150 hp motor. I do have a remote oil reservoir.

Well guys I changed the lower gear unit oil out and I had no problems. Thanks for the advice Joe, there are some things that I don't attempt to repair on my boat. Actually I'm a pretty good mechanic, I had never changed the lower gear unit oil before. I'm on the lake this afternoon guys. Here I...

Thanks for the info Mac, I was about to make a mess of things. I've ordered a Mercury 150 hp motor manual but have yet to receive it. I'll be sure to get and do the right thing.

TEE, thanks for the quick response. I guess I ask two questions instead of one. The V6 cap is located at the rear end of the boat on the top, opposite side of the gas cap. All I'm looking for right now is the correct oil I will need to change ONLY the lower unit. I googled and found mercury High...

Sorry for getting abck with you guys so late, it's been crazy arund here. Thanks for all the info. I'll be sure to take your recommendations. Tornado - thanks for the offer and I juts might take you up on it.

Thanks for all the information. Safety is paramount, so I'll be sure to get what's needed.

Phil, I just finished working on my Nitro trailer for my 18'3" Savage 884. I really need it refurbished but it will have to do for now. I hope you find a Nitro trailer because I've had no luck looking locally here in San Antonio. Please let me know if you get lucky and find one. Bobcat

Carlos - I don't know if this info will be helpful for you but I have a 1997 Nitro Savage 884 bass boat. I have a hard time turning to the right but no problem to the left. I stopped by my local Bass Pro shop in San Antonio and spoke with an authorized Nitro dealer in the repair/parts shop...
