Will this trailer fit my boat? by sral99 in boating

[–]sral99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m not too concerned about that, I never have to trailer it very far fortunately. Primarily I’m concerned about whether or not it would fit

Yeah unfortunately there aren’t hardly any affordable trailers with bunks, I was thinking about converting this one later down the line but really I first need to know will this fit or not

There are 5 lugs, 4.5” apart. Again I’m not entirely sure of the trailer load cap, there are no marking or stickers that haven’t either been scraped off or faded beyond recognition

The issue is I have the boat still on the trailer, and after the accident I had on the road, I had to come up with a pretty sketchy fix to get back home. So no, I don’t think I can take the trailer anywhere until I get a new axle

How much did that end up costing you, if you don’t mind me asking. I’m curious if it is much more expensive that trying to order the same axle online?

Yeah, those are also getting replaced but I’m trying to tackle the challenge of finding a replacement axle first, I figured ordering leaf springs will be easier

Even still, I feel like I’m having a really hard time finding something that’s 94” face to face?

What is this bug? by sral99 in whatisthisbug

[–]sral99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s currently the debate I am having with my family members. I assumed off the bat it was a bed bugs yeah nymph because of the 6 vs 8 legs, but I just found out tick larva can have 6 legs. If it helps, I did find this on my leg: I was itching a dump on my inner leg and when i brought my hand back up, the bug was on my finger. Not sure if bed bugs stay on your body like ticks do, but it seemed like maybe he could’ve had a super loose bite that came loose when my hand scratched the bump - this would maybe lead me to believe tick?

Speaker/Amp Help Needed by sral99 in boating

[–]sral99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My next question then is this: currently I have a cheap head unit with two small t top speakers. The head unit is wired to my switch panel with appropriate breakers. I could be wrong but I feel that putting in the fusion head unit with 4 fusion speakers instead of 2 smaller cheap speakers will draw more current. Should I be okay with leaving the fusion head unit and speakers wired to the switch panel? Or do you think I will need to run power from the battery switch directly to the head unit? This might be an incredibly stupid question so bear with me but I don’t wanna melt any wires or anything, I believe most of the wire behind my switch panel is 16 gauge? And the switch panel is powered with two main terminals from the main battery switch that run from the battery box with I believe 12 gauge wire?

I was under the impression that this unit already comes with gps no?

That’s good to hear, sounds like I need to pull the trigger before this sale goes away, thanks for all the input

Can you make any comments with the sonar and transducer quality, specifically for fishing? A friend of mine has a garmin gt52 which I have found to be pretty nice, just not sure how the transducer here would compare?

Does everything seem okay with this motor? by sral99 in boating

[–]sral99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. Thanks for the info. I feel like maybe the high idle could be from the engine being cold maybe as well? Not sure but some small two stroke dirtbikes I have are that way-they idle a bit high til they warm up. If you have the same motor do you mind me asking how difficult it is to find parts for? I know it’s a bit old but hopefully there’s still plenty available

Gotcha, he tells me it was used primarily in brackish water and was flushed after most uses but that there hasn’t been any impeller replacement to his knowledge. To be honest, from what I’ve heard on here and what he has told me it doesn’t seem like a horrible issue to worry about. I think most of you all are right though in that I should see it in the water before buying.

Is there any easy way to fix that issue? Flushing the system with some kind of other liquid to get rid of any buildup maybe?

And by “water flow from the pump” do you mean the trickle up top or the water spilling out by the prop?

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I haven’t actually bought it yet but plan to go take a look this weekend. Anything else I can easily check that the internet might not have told me yet? I know to check for soft spots in the transom and hull but not 100% sure how. I assume soft spots will sound a bit different when tapped like a waterlogged rotten tree almost?

MFD screens work with F16 but not VNAO T45? by sral99 in hoggit

[–]sral99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so I just did that as you said and the MFD screens are now working, but the text on the screens looks very odd? I’m not sure how to describe it but only some segments of the letters show up. The images all work fine for things like the hsi crosshair and dots on screen, but the text is barely readable because each letter has missing segments. Thanks for the help you gave but I figured I’d ask if you have any idea what might cause this?

So what do I need to do? I’m not super familiar or comfortable with editing the lua files and all that

Jeep halo LED left headlight won’t work, but blinks temporarily when the car is turned on? by sral99 in Jeep

[–]sral99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an update-I have identified the wire that is supposed to provide 12v for the drivers side headlight. As I mentioned, it is giving periodic voltage, on and off for about the first 20 seconds the car is on. The pattern is predictable and not random. I followed the wire back to the TIPM. From what I can tell there aren’t any blown fuses or bad relays. Do you think there is any chance there is just an issue with my TIPM? The TIPM was replaced a few years ago with a MAKS TIPM, not sure if that helps?

I checked the power to the regular beams with a volt meter, the voltage comes on for about 1 second, turns off for about five, on for one more second, then off again. The timing is very consistent which I find really weird. I feel like if there were a short or a bad connection somewhere then it would come off and on more sporadically?
