yesturday my lowrance x 88 just stoped reading on the graph and wont read depth , the temp still works though. could it be the transducer? i noticed before it would make a tickin noise at the transducer now its not making any sound.

no help. i downloaded the manual but it doesnt show the wiring like that, it just shows a black and white. thanks for the info though. maybe somebody that has one with simular wireing could help.

i got a lowrance x88 and it had no wiring instructions. i need to know how to wire up the power cord. it has three sets of wires comeing out of the one plug, one has a small red and black and bare wire, the other has a small blue, yellow, orange, and bare wire, and the last set are bigger and it has a red, white, and black wire. the small red,black and bare wire has a tag that says mnea 2000 power and the blue , yellow, orange, and bare say rs-232 comm. i do not know where these wires go . thanks for any help.

what would be the best line for regular worm fishing not in cover or aynthing? the size and braided or mono. thanks

Is my water pump bad? When I idle there is not a lot of water coming out of the hose and it will overheat when idling. When I am running, more water comes out but still not a strong stream, but it does not overheat. If so, is it hard to change out? I have a 120 Johnson V4, 89 model. Thanks

Thanks everybody! Im from Valdosta GA.

looking to spend around $250.00 need some help. thanks

im in south ga. a cold front came through and i guess it was just trying to find a warm place under the very thick mat. i found a little hole in the mat and dropped the jig in and it gulped it up.

isnt a tournament 480 a fish finder?

i went out today flippin thick cover with a blue and black jig and caught this 9.2 in about 2ft of water.

what woul be a good low cost depth finder?

i was told you should put your oil in first then pump the gas. the thig is i never know how many gal. its gonna take so i dont know how much oil to add. can you pump the gas first and see how many gal. you have and then add the oil or is there another way of doing it? :-?

garnet, so what you are saying is when i hook up another battery i will get more speed. with just the 12v it does seem to be very slow

i have a 12 / 24 volt motor, it is hooked up for 12v right now. do i just get another battery and hook the other wires up and flip the switch to 24v? what is the purpose for the 24v, is it for longer battery life or more lb thrust or speed? i have no ideal. thanks

what is your best lure for flippin into thick mat like cover where u have to just drop it down into tho holes?

thanks guys, went out today for about an hour , i was flippin in real thick cover , dropping it down anywhere it would break through the matt . i landed a 7lb and a 5lb and didnt break my line. it was a real confidence booster

i was using trilene xl 14lb test. that is the second time that happened to me in the last few months. the last time it happened ,i set the hook and it broke at the knot and the fish was only about 3 lbs. i watched him jump out of the water about 3 times shaking the jig out of his mouth. i use the trilene knot. i will be ckecking my line all the time from now on.

i went out to practice flippin and pitchin and on the first pitch i hooked about a 7 or 8lb bass. he ran with it and pulled out the drag and the next thing i knew he was gone. he broke my line at the knot. if i leave a lure tied on fore several trips out will that cause the knot to be brittle? should i retie every time i go out because it shouldnt have broke the line while the drag was going out? needless to say i wanted to cry

thanks guys, that was great

trying to learn some techniques. what is pitchen and flippin? thanks

the sides and bottom of the boat the gel coat is real bad. somebody left it sitting in the water for a long time. i can sand it all the way down untill the flakes start turning silver and cant get it looking good. is there a paint that i could paint the whole thing a solid color? its a 1989 asroglass that i only paid $1,800 for, everything works, it has a johnson 120 that runs great but the boat just looks bad.

the guy who own the boat before me clear coated over the gel coat on the top half and it is flaking off. is there an easier way to get the clear coat off other than wet sanding it ? it is so hard because i have the snaps all the way around it. the gel coat looks great when i get the clear coat off and buff it. if i have to do it all by hand it will take forever.im hopeing there will be an easier way. thanks

i checked the oil and it wasnt milky looking and didnt smell like the gear oil. its probably build up exhaust oil. thanks

i noticed some oil dripping out from under the prop. is there a seal in there when you pull the prop off and if so how would i go about changing it? it is a 1989 johnson 120 v4. thanks

does anybody know how to get rid of the white stain on the sides of my fiberglass boat where it was sitting in the water for a long period of time?
