That’s really called a coupler

The mounting bracket bolt Torque specs cone with the mounting plates and its 20 foot pounds

Do I necessarily need to remove the oil from the lower unit too before removing it ?

So, what's the difference in the price and the price "point"?

so... that case is leather huh?

Why pull the CV

Excellent video. I did this on my 2017 dodge durango gt. This kicked my butt. I had to take the sway bar off because it was interfering with the tie rods. Any ideas what I can do for a sway bar?

Hi, I encountered the same problem. Looking for a basket. Not sure if you can still make this. I would buy one if I could. I have the same trolling motor as you

On the time line,how many beers

The rear bolt, on my Optimax 150hp, that is accessable once you've removed the anode, doesn't have a washer. Is that correct?

The part number is not correct on can am site. I'd like more info if you have it

I just saw your car when I was driving home

what landing net do you have ? looks like it fits good.

I just installed (January 2024) a pair of Pro II 8' poles. There were a few surprises and the technical support folks at PowerPole got me through it. First, this video shows the installation of C-Monster 1 poles. The hoses have nuts and ferrules and it's really nice that you can cut them to length. The current manufacture (mine were manufactured 9/11/2023) has larger (3/8 vs 5/16) hoses and the connectors are crimped on so you can't adjust the length when you install the poles. This change, according to PowerPole, is due to the increased hydraulic pressure in the C-Monster II pumps. The good is that they are more durable, the bad is that you have to figure out what to do with the excess hose. PowerPole has hoses that you can order in certain lengths so that they are closer to what is really needed. There was a glitch from the supplier of the mounting brackets ( PowerPole) and I was supplied with a returned product where the previous "installer" put the original 2-1/2" bolts instead of the PowerPole 3-1/4" bolts (the bolts that hold the brackets to the jackplate). Again, PowerPole is coming through with excellent customer support. I located the pumps in the extreme aft, port side of my 2018 Nitro Z19. I epoxied 1/2" HDPE to the bottom of the boat (I'm referring to the inner boat bottom, NOT the hull) so I wouldn't have to drill into the bottom. The worst part of the install was drilling into the HDPE and getting the brackets mounted. I wish I had longer arms and younger eyes. In hindsight, I would have mounted the motor brackets to the HDPE BEFORE I epoxied it to the boat bottom. Right now, that's the extent of the surprises I've run into.

im buying a 2002 triton tr21 from a guy locally who hit a shoal on the st lawerence river. needs a lower unit, buying the boat for 5k im gonna order a new lower unit asap.. thanks for the video

One best Mercury outboard How to Videos out there. Very deliberate showing every step. Not skipping steps like most How too's on KZbin. Great job ! 😊

Thank you for taking the time and energy making this video. Your explanation was clear and well-delivered. It helped me install out installing my catch can.

Nice job on the editing. Keep em coming.

Awesome guide!! I hate to be a nuisance, but could you write up a list of all tools you'll need (maybe a "must-haves" list, and a "nice-to-haves" list?) to install this kit? Thanks!!!

Just did this job... My suggestion is to not reuse the locking nuts that are used in the upper control arm and tie rod. My other suggestion is to make sure you have a ball joint separator because you can only beat on your car so much before you accidently break things. If I would have had these things available it would have been much easier.

Whomp whomp

I have two elite 7 hdi, my question is if I purchase the point 1 antenna can I share points between the two units if I have a navionics card on each unit?

nice thanks for video

I was wondering why you took your anodes off

I have the 175 PRO XS OPTIMAX DFI and I started this job but only have two nuts on the side, 1 in the front of the motor and then the anode bolts. I can't for some reason budge the lower unit off the motor. Not sure what I am missing.

Did u 4 or 6 inch rise brackets

Great video how much $$$$ did you save by doing install yourself?

Is that miles per hour tube that’s hanging down coming out of the same hole is the shift shaft.? I noticed there was another little hole in the front of that in the upper casing. Do I run that hose through that or do I keep it around the shift shaft

Great Video Man...

I thought compression of the springs was required?

would this be similar or pretty much the same as a '12 Durango?

I thought you were not supposed to shift in reverse and forward with the motor not running?

Thank u very much good info

I’m younger and I come up here when my grandparents stay here for the summer and I love it I miss catching this many fish it feels less and less every year

I know I’m about two years late but do you still have your Ethernet linking your bow and console fish finders or does your NMEA set up allow you to share waypoints etc

Yo just pasted your white truck just wanted to say hi

I know it was 2 years ago now but do you still have the ability to create this exact mount that you made in this video? I’m doing the exact same transducer and on the same trolling motor. I would purchase one from you if you can do it!? If you can, shoot me a price first. Very well done mount. Nice attention to detail. I have come up with something that will work but it pushes the transducer down lower than I like.

Do you have the link from eBay or the brand?

Very helpful ,to the point ,thank you

Best video I've seen not sure why people start their videos with the mounting plate already installed. Thank you for showing from start to finish even installing the winch mounting plate. Great job!!

How’d you support the motor?

Not supposed to stack blocks

Are you still making the brackets?

Where did you buy these from and wonder if they are available in amber, the police here in Arkansas will ticket any other color I have been told

How do you take 20 min to zip tie a cable to a shaft??

Bruh. Fords have been all metric for decades. If you use SAE sockets they may work for you, but the next guy to work on your truck might be cursing you lol

Are the motor mounts accessible when replacing both struts ? Thank you .

I know this is for a 2017 Optimax-XS. Would this be the same as the 2011 OptiMax-XS 2 Stroke 150HP? Your video is very done. THanks!

Before you started taking the lower gear apart, did you put your shifter in Forward or Neutral? Which would be easier?

Installed one it only lasted one year....bulb is expensive and requires rewiring...NOT A GOOD PRODUCT
