    New Z-9 prop selection

    I have the fury on my Z-9 and carry the Tempest as my spare, both are 25 pitch. I have ran both of them on my 250 opti, I havent changed motor height yet but by changing the props i did pick up 2-3 mph on the top but the biggest difference i noticed was in the fuel use, At a slower cruising...

    Hummingbird 798

    I did have a 798 and switched to a Lowrance system just last year, Any Bird unit is alot more user friendly than Any of the other brands out there. Depending on what your wanting to do with your sonar system, will ultimately effect whether or not you will like this unit. As far as the unit by...

    LiveWells?????

    Ok Hogg, You probably have everything figured out by now but i will give give you a tip. I saw you said you were from Texas so obviously its pretty warm there. When your fishing roll your manual dial to auto and kick on your auxiliary fill switch. In english, that should be your fresh water...

    smartcraft-Lowrance

    The HDS units have a page that shows all your gauge read outs just like looking at the gauges on the console, to make these gauges active, you plug a 70-80 dollar widget into your engine, and i have been told that it will show your fuel efficiency, usage etc, which is also some of the info that...

    Fuel Octane question

    Get some coveralls, hair jigs, and jerk baits, and keep fishing, then you dont have to worry about winterizing. Just keep the boat strapped to the trailer when on the ramp because froze over trailer bunks from fishing the day before will prematurely launch your boat onto the concrete ramp, its...

    trolling motor question

    Motor Guide used alot of plastic parts on their trolling motors around the 2000 2003 time frame i think it was, suprisingly that included cable guides and i would not be surprised if that also included bearing races. Motorguide has quit carrying these plastic replacement parts, so you will...

    Issue with brake actuators on Nitro trailers?

    I got the same recall notice with my trailer and i havent took it in to get looked at but what yours sounds like is, as you are backing the boat in the water you are compressing the surge brake but the elec overide does not let the brakes on the trailer engage, when the boat is off the trailer...

    Mercury Guardian

    Ok i checked my manual again, it says under gaurdian system, problem-during engine break in, no tone, no monitor display, % of full power available 100%, and the only other block on this chart says gaurdian activated and that also says no, now why would that be listed in the manual if nothing...

    Mercury Guardian

    The dealer which I bought the boat ran the code and said there was a low voltage fault. Now I did have an alarm tone with that one and the gaurdian stored that code. I have only dealt with 2 models of pro xs this 2012 and a 2007. The manuals have a lot of differences between the 2. The 2012 has...

    Lakemaster or Navionics>

    I never got a lake master chip to work in my birds anyway. Looked at them on a lowrance unit and navionics was much better. Especially older navionics chips

We made it in on time but the problem we had was, we had a teleflex trim switch at the steering wheel (a blinker switch trim lever) the mounting bolts backed out and...
