    I have a 2003 mercruiser 4 cyl 3.0. Looking to adj idle mixture screw. It has a cap over it that doesn't pop off easily. It is on such that it wiggles a bit but wont come off. Thought I would ask if there is a procedure to remove the cap before I get rough and break something Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Hate when the phone picks a misspelled word for you. Meant gunwale mount Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    SOLD. I have 2 Cannon 18 in gunwale mounting tracks. They fit into gunwale rod holders. Great for quick removal of multiple rod holders or riggers. These are new, never used , still in boxes. I don't think they are even available new any more. $60 each firm. Mexico area. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Electrolysis has nothing to do with the "softness" or "weakness" of metals but is totally controlled by how Noble a metal is. This is the term used to define its resistance to corrosion (oxidation). Gold is a very soft and mechanically very "weak" metal but is very noble. It can lay on a sunken ship in the ocean for a thousand years and look like new. Magnesium is one of the least noble metals and oxidizes very easily. In fact, a thin strip of magnesium will flash burn when subjected to a flame, ie rapid oxidation. Aluminum is of low nobility so you need something lower to corrode faster, ie Magnesium. Brass has a generally high nobility and stainless steel, depending on the type, Is very high. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I have some of the same NK spoons but without the ladder back tape. The tape may have been put on. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    There are usually a single or more anodes mounted on the out drive or outboard motor transom bracket that will be under water even when the motor or drive itself is trimmed fully and out of the water and much as possible. If you buy a full magnesium kit they will be included. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    It seems not much people know that zinc anodes are not of much value in fresh water. They are recommended for salt water. Aluminum anodes are a bit better in fresh water but are recommended for brackish water. Magnesium anodes are best for fresh water issues. They are available for most out drives and outboards.

    If you just want something for the kicker, get the Lowrance hydraulic outboard pilot and just buy a hydraulic cylinder instead of the complete hydraulic steering system. Put the cylinder in the steering tube of your kicker and hook up the lowrance outboard pilot to it without an actual steering wheel (pump). Should work well.

    Lowrance makes both a mechanical drive and hydraulic system. The mechanical for rack and pinion is a bit more expensive. Both need a HDS gen 2 or later system. The hook and elite and some others wont work. The HDS Carbon and Live will work. The Hds Carbon 7 can be bought for $800 on line now. I have good luck with a hydraulic outboard pilot and a HDS gen 2 touch for about 3 years now. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    When I was at my cottage on the pond I believe the water was as high as it had been in 2017 and going higher. Way over my docks. I fished sat in the pond sat and did well around rocky areas. The fish were not in their normal areas for this time of year due to water temp. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    The problem is that they will probably close everything soon as was done in 2017. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Read the Lowrance specs on the Elite series carefully. I believe it will only control the motor guide trolling motors but NOT the outboard autopilots. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Interested if still available Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Not to change the subject but how do you like the motorguide xi5? I am thinking about one soon. I have Lowrance electronics so it will communicate. From what I read, seem to be a better unit than comparable minn kota Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Where are you located Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    The connector is there on all fuel injected models that have a tiller model option even if yours is not a tiller model. I know that is to 115 hp possibly even to 150. Anything larger will require command control setup. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Don't need the full Yamaha command setup to do this. Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I have a 2014 Yamaha F70 and I hooked up a double pole double throw switch to the connector for variable troll switch (VTS). 50 rpm increments from 600 to 1000 per pulse up or down. Yamaha now offers the switch as a kit also. Must have a later model motor to do this Sent from my SM-J737V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
