    Nitro 188 Sport Foot Pedal Tray

    Same issue on my 185. Instead of a foot pedal, I went with the trolling motor that has the remote control version. It works great.

    Re-power or buy “new to me”?

    I have a 2001 fish and ski. When I dropped a piston in the 125 I opted to have a 1996 Yamaha 150 rebuilt and installed. It cost me $3k and I couldn't be happier. Like you, I also upgraded the trolling motor to a power drive and added the 3 bank charger. All total I have about $11k invested...

    When I replaced mine, I had a 15 year old neighbor kid do the inside work. Find one with long, skinny arms.

    Minn Kota Remote

    I might add, when depressing the 'learn' button and turning on the remote, I do not hear the 3 beeps.

    Minn Kota Remote

    I have a Minn Kota Riptide trolling motor. It is operated by a remote. When deployed, I get the green ready light. But when I try to turn on the remote, it works for 2 to 3 seconds then shuts down. I have tried pairing it, no luck. I put in a new battery, didn't help. What do you think...

    I have a couple of boat salvage yards in my area. I'll check and see what they might have.

    Native Jim; Are you needing the entire windshield or just a grab bar that mounts on the windshield?

    Raising seats

    I did this over a year ago. Can't remember where I got the parts. I'll try and do some added research and see what I can find.

    Raising seats

    Yes, it raised mine about 5 inches. You can go higher but then you might be sitting above the windshield while boating. I especially like the adjustable platform as I can now move the seat to where it is most comfortable for me.

    Raising seats

    This is what I did to raise the seat AND make it adjustable.

    Tilt and Trim???

    Thanks. Mine might be overtightened as I can't loosen it at all. I asked because my tilt and trim is acting up on me. When fully raising the motor it operates fairly easy towards the top 2/3 rds of travel. But when lowering it, the last 15 or 20 degrees is very tight. Should I loosen the...

    Tilt and Trim???

    I have a 1996 Yamaha 150. On the port side of the motor, there is some sort of screw mechanism. It looks like it is a lock for the tilt/trim??? I'll try and post a picture of it later today.

    2008 189 Sport Trolling motor bracket question

    I have a 2001 but same mount. When I changed mine, I used self locking nuts. That was 3 years ago. Still tight.
