  1. Ya called Garmin I wasn't hitting the on off button to program it.
  2. Running on agm 31 series with 12.9 volts. I would shut it off it will track straight then soon as I hit throttle up it would activate it again. So I think its on zig zag just need to figure out how to stop. Might put the factory reset code in just hope it don't loose north settings.
  3. Oh ya I was quite violent seeing I only had today to fish. And I had a great screen.
  4. Got out today shutdown in 120 started kicker and the autopilot. Set my direction and it started its course then after 50 yds it went into a zig zag pattern. Couldn't get it to stop pulled fuse 2 x then was fine for about a hr or two then started again same crap. Then I put in standby then auto was fine for a hr then it started again this time I was so pissed I picked up and called it a day. Any ideas ??
  5. I have older cannons that came on the boat I had one that would struggle to lift my 13 lb torpedos. Lifts my 10s no problem. Has been fine my other 2 lift the 13s no problem. Yesterday one stopped and would need me to turn spoil then go for 20 ft and stop again. Motor or lube? I have a tote of 5 more for parts should I hook my charger to motors find the ones that work and change it out? Going to need to upgrade but cant
  6. What do you guys with the bigger boats to help stop Or slow crab walking in a cross wind? Bag on the side?
  7. When I run my autopilot or just have 9.9 in gear if I trim up it will pop my fuse if its off no problems. Don't know if the cnc dosent have enough a-- to lift in gear causing it to pop fuse. Any clue? wires new and new fuse block.
  8. I have 1 rigger that's impossible to read when its sunny out I use my graph to find out where I'm at.
  9. Mine is jumping also I can just get the x4 probe?
  10. Anyone in town that has a 840 probe for sale? Here in Mexico area mine is doing weird things thanks
  11. Sweet thank you I have the thing with mine 2 will autostop at waterline my mid one swings like a wrecking ball!
  12. It did! Definitely a different handling ride to the ranger but ill get it. All I know it's enjoyable to fish out of I'm not tripping on things! And the auto pilot is the king for sure!!
  13. Got her in finally thus weekend and all put back together after the drive out. Went for a small ride sat afternoon ran great kept it at 3000 rpm for a while temp and oil pressure were perfect! Got to fish sun for a couple hrs. But ready for the summer hopefully!!!
  14. Just start open tank on motor until full over flowing cap it and go fish. Only sensor is on your motor in the tank.
  15. And I'm glad I bought a duramax. I'm getting 17.5 mpg in town 22 on rt 90 my hemi would only get 13.5 mpg
  16. Slept on it! Decided on salmon country marina. That way I can go north east or west. And if I have motor issues I can come in on kicker and get it fixed.
  17. Well made my mind up! Oswego it is. It will be me and my sister in this 262. Its been out of the water since 2011 doing a shake down here at home on lake George this weekend. Hope to be out following weekend if no issues.
  18. For me Oswego is 3 hrs 3.25 depending on traffic. Takes me 2.5 to pulaski. How is it at Oswego for boat abuse with the wind? That's really my big concern. Where lil salmon is protected but you have that creek to contend with. Oswego is the waves and wind.
  19. Looking at slips at Mexico and writes. Can't decide!! Need pros and cons! I like fishing mexico west and the dunes.

    Stringers

    Popped main cover off and got below. 3 of the 4 motor mounts were loose. Two bolts nuts were missing got everything tight and started poking around. Stringer is fine at motor. I have a soft spot starboard side where drain hole is and the last 4 ft if the back. The side stringers are solid but where the holes were its soft. Found a wire hanger so there must of been something there. Never plugged the holes. So I'm running it!!

    Stringers

    Motor not sagging yet everything is straight. Got recommended to pour this stuff in the Stringers turns the soft wood into a rock. 100 bucks a qt. They use it allot on older boats. They tested it and use it allot I guess. So I'm going to try and hopefully get the summer no issues and take to someone in the fall. Mostly the bad is in the back where he drilled holes on the sides of stringers. And one spot in front of the motor where a drain hole is.
