Check the neutral safety switch under the hood where the linkage is. I've seen a few where the nut backs off the small mounting bolt and will keep the switch open causing no fire.

Uhhh, crappiepappy I'm full aware of the 60hp and smaller Merc motors being built in China and Japan, also very aware of Merc using Yamaha powerheads for their 4-strokes years ago. But this...

Not even. I just live in the real world and have seen what both of these outboards will do. I prefer to keep Americans building these outboards anyway.

Absolutely not. The Yamaha 70hp is a small motor compared to the Optimax 75hp. The Yamaha will not perform anything like the Opti.

You probably need something like this picture but I would suggest 2 - t-bolts for better strength.

A hydrofoil will not help you with that issue. A 4 blade prop with the proper pitch will help.

Low speed, get on plane fast, 4-stroke is not a good combination.

Overtons has them for $263.49 for a 6' x 46".

Clean/degrease, scuff with a red 3M Scotch-Brite 7447, use compressed air to blow away dust, clean/degrease again, wipe down with acetone before painting. Any bare aluminum spots need to be primed...

If you have I-Pilot on your existing Power Drive, you can switch the head portion of the trolling motor and just buy a Power Drive 70lb 60" without Auto Pilot. If you have any questions just pm me.

Obviously 70lbs thrust is an improvement over your 55lbs thrust, but unless you are just on the edge of being happy with your current trolling motor you might want to go up to an 80lbs thrust. ...

According to the guy in the White House things are on the up and up and we should be able to afford $4.00 a gallon gas. How things have changed since 2008 when high gas prices were the fault of Bush...

The best bang for your buck is Cabela's AGM batteries. I sell Deka batteries which are some very good batteries, but their AGM's don't have the same capacity that the Cabela's brand has. I seen a...

What horsepower is it? 5000 rpms is too low, your prop has too much pitch. You can have a good prop guy re-pitch it and raise your outboard at the transom.

I did all the custom work per customer drawing at my shop on that boat. Headlights, went from a low deck to a high deck with storage, corner steps and actually removed the livewell from in front of...

Not true for every lake, read the rules on the IDNR site. Unless specified with a 2 pole and 2 hook per line, you can use 3 poles with 2 hooks per line. For more info on how-to you should post this...

boatstall is correct it is a 1972 model.

Mercury 7.5hp the serial number beginning with 3274633 and ending with 3488152 is a 1972.

Xpress does fill between the floor and hull with foam. That same foam will eventually break down and absorb water which creates alot of weight and a chemical reaction with the aluminum that will...

The Optimax 115 is an inline 3 cylinder, the 135 is a V-6 (detuned 150hp)

Sounds expensive for a Tracker, a War Eagle Predator with a 115 can be had for that.

Sounds like another saturated float in the oil tank, common question/problem on this board.

The sensor isn't the problem, it's the float inside the oil tank. Noway to fix it other than buying a new oil tank assembly.

You'll need a complete new oil tank. The problem is the float gets saturated and no longer floats.

War Eagle now builds a 961 Predator rated up to a 150hp.

Vanilla extract. You don't need chemicals for gnats.

Same size boat with same hp, aluminum will most likely be the faster of the two. But surely a glass boat with a larger boat will be faster.

Vanilla extract

War Eagle is now building a 961 Predator rated for up to a 150hp outboard. Now you can go really fast past all of those crappie spots.

Although not known for their speed, the Honda 150hp should get more. At 5200rpm max you are over propped. That outboard should have a max at 6000rpm and that is where you should be close to. Any...
