    Battery set up for new Ulterra 112#

    I've never had a trolling motor that needed multiple batteries so I have lots of questions. In any session of fishing, I doubt it will run for more than 3 hours before recharging. What do you guys think about one 36 V or three 12V in series? I'm hoping for all the pros and cons of each...

    Mounting plate for new Ulterra

    I'm having no luck finding a mounting plate for the front of my pontoon. I want to mount my Ulterra in front and outside the gate. And I need it to be mounted crosswise (perpendicular to the pontoon). After it's deployed, I want to be able to pivot it so its pointed parallel to the pontoon so...

    New water pump kit installed.....won't pump water!

    Thanks guys. I got it pumping. The old impeller actually looked pretty good. Took it apart. I had the gasket on backwards. Don't know how that could have made a difference. The stainless puck that the impeller sits in didn't fit real good and either did the grommet on top. I switched...

    Shifting problems on a 1998 Johnson J35QLECA

    Won't shift into gears. When I started it up for the season, it would stay in reverse gear no matter the position of the remote lever. When I disconnect the upper shift rod from the lower, I can manually move the lower shift rod into gear so I believe the lower unit is good. When I reattach the...

    35 Johnson in reverse no matter where the remote shift lever is...please help!

    I haven't been able to drain the lower yet but I did remove the water pump screen. The upper rod is disconnected from the lower rod by about ⅛ inch. Neither rod moves up or down. https://photos.app.goo.gl/MbDajhJxnSctF1m98

    Can't find parts for older Mercury 4 hp serial # 0B100631 Please help!

    Thanks for all the help guys. I'm still not sure about the gasket for this main fuel jet. Does anyone know if this is a copper gasket or a rubber type gasket? Thanks.

    Can't find parts for older Mercury 4 hp serial # 0B100631 Please help!

    I don't know the part number. On the expanded view of the tillotson carbon, it is identified as part 32. But when you scroll through the list of parts, it skips from 31 to 34. Probably because it's not available. So there is no part number listed. Thanks again.
