Well, I changed out my impeller friday night and with the help of a clymer's manual and a friend who has done a few impellers in the past...it really wasn't an overly challanging job! (and the impeller was shot!)
Anyway, with changing the impeller, the amount of water flowing out of the "pee hole" or whatever it's called...isn't what I remember. Also, the question I have is there is a rubber exit gasket on the back of my motor just below the cowl. Looks as though some exhaust may exit here? I am having water come out that too.
What is that rubber exit for? I think an excess of water is coming out that way...should it be? What would be causing it? Could pieces of my impeller be plugging the "pee hole?"
and last but certainly not least...if this is a big problem......anyone know of someone around the Albertville area that is great with Evinrude Outboard motors? (I work in Plymouth)
Thanks everyone, and if I need to explaing anything more, let me know...but explain in dummy terms...I am an accountant, not a mechanic!
I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought.
Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just
buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
Congrats on the motor! I think you’ll like it.
I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers. 160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.
Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor. Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to
get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius)
says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
