    Electronics

    I had a Hook 2. The transducer was so long, it snapped in half the first bit of debris I ran over. Switched to a Humminbird.

    Easy way to change out batteries ?. I don't think

    You can buy new battery boxes on Amazon. As far as lifting batteries, I bought a electric hoist from Harbor Freight, lift them up and drop em' in.

    BOAT TRAILER BUNK BOARDS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT

    I changed mine in my garage. Take a 2x4 or 2x6 and put it under one of the chines. Then you can jack it up far enough to swap out the bunker. Have the new one ready to go in. When you let it down, your boat will be off center but it will straighten out when you jack up the other side. If you cut...

    170TF/115 Merc

    I have a 1994 170TF with a 1994 115 Merc and a 24p SS prop. It doesn't want to plane out,(well, after about a week it does) Dealer says it calls for a 23p. I only had it out once last year and I don't remember what RPM it was running. I was thinking it should run about 5250 RPM, that's what the...

    Trim Leaks Down

    I tried to raise the motor but, it wouldn't move at all. I tried lifting it but, with my bad back, it was a no go. I finally gave up and took it to my local boat marina. They said the tilt/trim unit was bad, needed to be replaced. ( of course it did) $1400.00 for a new tilt/trim!! I replaced...

    Trim Leaks Down

    Finally got a new plug. While I was there, I bought a new release valve plug. Naturally I lost all the fluid when I took the plug out. Dropped the bow of the boat/trailer all the way to the ground to get maximum amount of fluid back in the tilt/trim unit. Had the motor up as far as it would...

    Trim Leaks Down

    I have a "94" 115 Mercury motor. My motor won't stay up. I tried trimming it up and down a few times to purge the air out, didn't work. I noticed a small leak in the filler plug. Going to buy a new one today. Is there a torque specification for the filler plug? Any other solutions or do I...

    Bunks Rotted on a 2016 Nitro tandem trailer

    If you replace the bunkers yourself, make sure you leave an opening on the bottom of the bunker( lengthwise). Don't wrap the carpet all the way around it, it needs drainage so the bunkers won't rot!

    Help Finding Fenders

    I posted this in the Trucks and Trailer section but, I not sure everyone reads that section. This one seems more popular. So.. I have a 1994 Nitro TF170 with a Trailstar trailer. After surviving several blowouts, I could really use some new fenders. (blowouts are hard on fenders) I've looked...

    Fenders

    I have a 1994 Nitro TF170 with a Trailstar trailer. After surviving several blowouts, I could really use some new fenders. (blowouts are hard on fenders) I've looked everywhere and can't find replacement fenders. They're 9" wide at the bottom where they bolt on and 8" wide top dead center. So...

    Tires

    All the threads on tires seem to be from 2013. What's the latest on tires? I'm tired of blowing out trailer tires. I don't have excessive weight in the boat and I keep the tire pressure up. Had nice rims on my boat trailer, coming back from Bull Shoals last week, blew out a tire and my nice...

    Fuel Tank Removal

    Remove the batteries and the tie down straps, then pull it back to the battery compartment. If you have battery trays screwed to the floor, it would be best to remove them out of your way.

    2002 Nitro Nx 750 75hp

    I have a Nitro 170TF. It had a 75 hp Mercury on it, it ran about 42-44 (GPS) at 5250 RPM. (I now have a 115 hp on it.) You need a hydrofoil stabilizer on it to help plane out faster. Get one that bolts on, not a clamp on. If one side lifts up when gaining speed, adjust the trim and it will level...

    Cables

    If your boat pulls right, adjust trim tab to pull left. (trim tab should be facing NNE, like this / If that's to much, back off a little.
