Re: Installing power tilt motors

there is a way to do the manual tilt from lower down (same as with the Yamahas) would be less cumbersome. On another note....Is that a Lithium battery in you motor well?!

Has anyone found a solution (other than drilling)? Does anyone know of a source for replacement bases? It sits over...

Re: New Rudder Quadrant

We had ours made at https://edsonmarine.com/products/sailboat-steering-wheels/steering-hardware/quadrants-radial-drive-wheels/ Note: not 100% thrilled. they goofed the measurement by a small number and we had to cut the openings for the steering bar so that it could move the complete distance. the a...

Re: New engines - source? and market for the old ones?

Did same with Andy..NOTE....check if your remote handle assembly and motor being replaced uses a "pull" or "push" for the cable to change gear. Not a big change, but a royal pain if you are trying to figure out why the cable won't work and you don't know which the old motor used ...

Re: Anchoring a Cat...Correctly

Our boat came with a bridle that has a very nice stainless steel chain hook. (centered on eye spices and a ring)
Just hook the chain link between the prongs and tension does the rest. Very quick to set and take off in emergency.
