  1. With your autopilot on the lake boat did the boat keep steering back and forth fish tailing continuously?

    That is what I have been dealing with and Butch At Rieters Marine says I will burn out an auto pilot in a matter of months.

    Thats why I'm going for the tiller pilot idea. I have an old one and they are much less money to replace.

  2. I found a couple. Kinda different then what I want to do. I want to figure a way to mount it on the motor so it will go up and down with the kicker motor while it is on the kicker bracket.

    My kicker is on a 25 ft cuddy with mercruiser out drive. i have an easy steer between them.

  3. I have an old Ray Marine tiller pilot. Has any one ever tried to make a bracket so you could mount the drive to your 9.9 kicker.  I just trying to keep the boat going straight when needed if I am fishing alone. Not trying to follow a charted course.

  4. Found it,

    Compression check 3 And 5 are dead.

    I pulled the  head and there is a channel burned between the cylinders.

    Started as blown head gasket and eventually ruined the head.

    Replacing head today. 

    Thanks LOU.

    For the input.

  5. I have a 1988 4 Winns 245 vista with a Jasper rebuild.

    Motor will run great with no load.

    Under load starts to knock at about 1800 RPM.

    Motor does not jump or shake with Knock.

    It will run for hours trolling with no issues. (at about 1000 RPM}

    When boat is in neutral you can bring it up to higher RPM's and there is no knock.

    Only knocks under load.

    Any ideas????

     

  6. Had many distributor issues. Bad insulation to coil wires. Had all straightened out and running well.

    Ran boat yesterday for half an hour and motor quit. Not died or ran out of fuel just stopped. Would not start. motored in on kicker.

    This morn fired rite up like there was nothing wrong.

    Any thoughts??
