Looked it up online. Every review said it was a scam. Money taken, no product ever received. One comment was that paypal wouldn't refund because of the untraceable funny name the money was paid to. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Back in my working days we used a adhesive backed foam with a thin lead sheet integrated in it for noise reduction on machine covers. Bought it from McMaster Supply Co. The lead in the foam is the key for significant noise reduction. You can order from McMaster online. Problem is that it is not cheap. Inside of doghouse must be very clean, especially from oil for the adhesive to stick. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Meant to say -other than to turn on the relay coil to close the contacts in the relay Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The only ground for the relay would be to the coil in the relay. If the relay is clicking then the ground for the relay coil is good. Any ground for the relay would not be involved in the lifting of the out drive other then to close the relay coil. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I launched at Mexico on Tuesday. The water is extremely low, the lowest I have ever seen it in 40 years of fishing the area. Knowing the Pine Grove launch and using it many years I can guess it is probably useless. In average water level.it is not very deep there. Just mentioning my experience, I have not been there to see it. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Anyone launching out of Mexico lately? Is it useable in this low water? Thinking about tomorrow with the nice weather. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Don't need to get rid of the power assist. There is a cylinder available that goes in where the steering cable attaches. Assist pump and original cylinder stay in place. New cylinder piggy backs the existing one. Sea star has these listed. Only consideration is do you have the room for the cylinder to stick out. A couple of options available if it is tight. Best option is a "balanced system". That is a cylinder with double rods so the volume of hydraulic fluid moving is the same in both directions of turn. Volume on each side of the piston is the same. If you don't have room for piston rod to stick out the opposite side about 8 or 9 inches when extended, then use a single rod cylinder with the appropriate parts to be comparable with an "unbalanced" system.

There was a good post about 6 month ago from someone who did that in a Bayliner Cierra, a 23 I believe. Process and parts should be the same. Alpha 1 gen 2 Mercruiser. You can probably find it with a search. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The comments on the subject by Baddad a bit down explain the problem with the factory drag very well. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Mag 10 STX has the same specs but not the SS spool and is black. Can find them for about 550 new. Another possibility is the Mag 5 ST. Same specs and construction as the 10 STX but comes without the telescoping boom and swivel base. Can be found for a bit under 400 new. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
