Nice setup Mike 👍🏻. My father-in-law had a Princecraft 167 with a 60hp Merc and a 9.9 Merc for trolling. Nice spot and looks like a big lake 😳. Have a great weekend 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂🙂🇨🇦

Great videos Mike! Do you have a video on how your second fuel line is setup to go to your kicker?

@maintenancewithmike Ай бұрын

Hey thanks for subscribing! I don’t have a video on the fuel connection because each application seamed different and didn’t know if it would be useful information for many. For example I put in a Sierra filter wanting to connect both motors to that filter. The big motor ran fine but the little motor would run out of fuel. What I can tell you if you go this route is the line out of the sierra filter that goes to the kicker motor needs to have an anti- syphon valve in line or it won’t continue to draw fuel. Let me know if this helps. Next time I have the back deck off to change the filter I could put together a quick video for my specific application. Cheers, Mike.

Thanks Mike. That makes sense! It would be good to see how you set that up. Cheers!

@@johnrmcmullin most likely will be in the fall when the boat is home and stored in the garage. I’ll add it to my video list. Thanks for the comments! Cheers, Mike.

Where did you find this servo setup and do you have more videos on it?

I don’t have a video on it yet but I will very soon. I’ll have the parts that I used as well , so stay tuned!

I see a padlock on the mount. Please tell me the motor is secured to the boat by this or by a cable. I used to live in Northern BC on an island with boat access only and you'd be surprised how often I 'd hear of someone losing an outboard into the deep because it wasn't secured. The clamps just don't do it. I will enter into a full-time deep prayer on this until I hear back from you. ha Ha Ha

You’re absolutely correct but I have both. The handles are padlock and a stainless cable runs through the motor handle and is secured on the inside of the transum to the shipping u bolt. 😉 This is good for thieves and accidents! Thanks for asking and watching!

Nice! Do you lift the big engine up to reduce drag?

@maintenancewithmike 10 ай бұрын

I could I guess but I don’t bother, not going to break and speed records with 6HP. Lol.

Does this motor shake a lot? Wondering if it shakes your rod tips when you’re trolling.

@maintenancewithmike Ай бұрын

Not really we troll at 1.8 mph and up for rainbow At that speed there is a fairly Decent load at the tip already so you will see the strike and hear the spool run. Great question. Anything else?

@@maintenancewithmike brand new merc 6hp has a $500 rebate right now so I’m gonna grab one. You convinced me 🤣

Nice! You will love it. Sips fuel and can be connected to main tank or the one litre tank built in. Will this be your trolling motor? Are you going to connect it to a main motor for helm steering?
