When you reinstall the lower unit, you want the drive in forward gear and lower unit in forward gear so that you can spin the prop by hand to line the splines up. This ensures that the splines are properly aligned.

@@belowaveragebassfisherman574good deal I appreciate the response, I guess I've just been lucky in the past when I just left it in neutral. 👍

@@Opiemusyes sir! Always more than one way to get the job done. That’s just how I learned to do it.

That question is beyond me. I don’t have a good answer. I just have it wired up like any other electronic, straight to a fuse block.

I ordered the 300 kit from Partsvu with everything in it. They told me that they weren’t sure the water impeller was going to fit for my serial number motor. I bought it anyways and it works perfectly.

What year is your motor? Mine is a 2021. Wondering if the same procedure applies.

@@gregoryrowe41432014. If not the exact same, it will be extremely similar.

Drive shaft should turn the prop shaft and the prop shaft turn the drive shaft. It shouldn’t matter which one you spin, as long as it’s in gear. Thats why you can wiggle the prop a bit to get the gear splines to line back up when putting the lower unit back in place.

It has held up great. Had zero issues with it. I did last month get the GMS 10 network box though because I added another graph on the bow and didn’t have any more room to plug in another graph.

Garmin 93sv graphs only have one network/panoptix port.

Thanks, man. I only got my experience watching others do it!

Ooo this isn’t good. I apologize that my video seemed to be misleading in your case with the GS108. That is strange that Netgear would not be consistent with their product. I will notate this in the description.

My network cables plug directly into the netgear box. I’m not sure of an Ethernet adapter.

So Ethernet from black box to netgear and then both monitors to netgear? Also could I still use a 54tranducer on the back for the console but also see the live scope on the console and bow?

@@Bottombounceyes, that is how it’s done and your livescope will show on both screens. Watch my livescope install video and it will show how it’s set up.

Thank you for getting back to me! This was my first livescope install and it’s all new to me Sorry I was confused as to which cables were network cables I was thinking of the NMEA as the network and was unaware that the port on the black box literally says network. I just installed everything exactly as you did and it’s working great as of now, thank you man!

⁠oh yeah, no problem. It can be confusing for sure. You may secure your network cables into your netgear box with some electrical tape. Looks a little janky but it works. I’ve seen other people get real creative and use a small plastic tackle storage box to secure the netgear box and drill holes for the network cables running into it.

I got mine from bass pro but I see it’s not available there right now. Here is a link for the same one at Walmart. Power-Pole Transom Braced Kit Universal www.walmart.com/ip/1730470247 Here it is on the power pole website. power-pole.com/transom-braced-universal

quart and liters are pretty much the same. 1qt=.946 L

I ordered it from Bass Pro.

Yes, you can. I do that all the time when I have someone fishing the back.

@belowaveragebassfisherman574 sweet thanks for the reply.🤙

Plug the Tx (transmit) which you would leave that one off and just plug ethernet port in to the graph or networking box and then put the adapter piece on ethernet to HDMI which would be the Rx (Receive) so basically you would probably just need the one that's labeled RX think that would work

That is a good question but I have no idea. Haven’t tried the ol flatscreen trick yet.

​@@belowaveragebassfisherman574yeah that's what I'm wondering so basically instead of having the secondary screen hooked up take that put the adapter in on it and plug it into the TV

​@@belowaveragebassfisherman574I had a buddy who has the 10-inch I thought about trying it on his because it has two ethernet ports on the back of it and I wouldn't have to buy an Ethernet box just the ethernet to HDMI kit

Sorry man, I’m not educated enough on that subject to answer that completely. I used garmin network cables directly from my livescope black box and or garmin graph to the netgear box.

I will have a 300 hour maintenance video up pretty soon, hopefully!

I’m sorry. I’m not sure I understand the question about the adapter.

@belowaveragebassfisherman574 I'm sorry about that. The net gear switch to the live scope black box. The black box has a pin type connection. That still may not mask sense. I don't know the proper names for all that.

The black box should come with an adapter that connects to a standard garmin network cable. The garmin network cable will act just like an Ethernet cable to plug into the netgear box.

You can see how I hooked it up in my livescope install video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZKtpo1tmcisp5Ysi=U0I9U4Pdxzwi0Cai I hard wired the netgear box from a fuse box, to a switch, to the netgear box itself.

Yes, you won’t even need a network box because you have two network plugs on the 106. You will plug your livescope into the 106 via the livescope network cable and then run a garmin network cable from the other port on the 106 to the 73sv. They will link together without the box as long as they are both powered on. However, If you are using livescope, I would advise using the 73sv on the console and the 106 at the bow. You’ll want as much screen as possible if you’re looking at a livescope while fishing.

I really enjoy it. If I could afford a bigger boat I would absolutely have one. But I have multiple hobbies so I can’t put all my money in one place. I do like this boat though because it is extremely customizable. It’s a 2014 model so I can make modifications and run over shit and not worry. I’ve taken this boat anywhere from small state park lakes to Kentucky Lake, Lake Guntersville, Table Rock lake and Lake Fork. I definitely wouldn’t take it out on a big lake like Rayburn if the weather was bad because it’s a little too short. But I was on table rock in some bad weather with 2-3 footers and it did fine. I like to fish shallow water though so I can really take it just about anywhere I want. Hope that answers your question haha. If you have the option, get the 75 HP. I wish I had it. I have the 60HP and it was fine at first but like with anything else, I always want to go faster.

@@belowaveragebassfisherman574 That’s awesome, it’s gonna take me a few years to save up for a truck before I even think about a boat. But a bass boat like this would be an awesome value to get into fishing, I’m in Florida by the Gainesville area so places like Lake Santa Fe or the nearby rivers & lakes is where I’d be most of the time. Maybe one day I could get into somethin like this. $14k-$20k would be a good budget for somethin used if I got one at some point, & from the vids I’ve seen the fishing you do looks pretty fun. I’m no tournament angler by any means but a boat like this to just get out there & fish would be pretty nice.

I believe that mine may be a 5 volt as well. Of course it would always be better to run a 12 volt supply to a 12 volt electronic. However, I have not had issues out of mine so far in the last year.

Good tip. I got my motor cover online from Ocean South

Thanks for taking the time and getting back to me on the cover. Keep making great videos.

I’m sorry to hear that is happening to you. That is really strange. If you go watch my garmin livescope install video at 8:25, you will see I have it rigged up with the black wire with white stripes as the negative wire. I’ve been running it like that since I made the video. If your power source/battery is too high in voltage, the same thing will occur.

@@belowaveragebassfisherman574 is that hooked straight to a 12v power source ? Or is there some kind of breaker or power damper?

@@kaibarnett9757 it is powered by my 12 Volt cranking battery. I do, however, have a 5 amp fuse in the line. Check out my garmin install video and it will clarify it. I have it rigged to a switch and then to a fuse block.

I used the Garmin network cable. I have not tried anything else so I couldn’t speak to that. The Garmin network cable works for me.

@@belowaveragebassfisherman574 Thanks for the reply I’ll try using the Garmin cables.

If it has the panoptix port on the back of the graph to accept an Ethernet cable then it will work.

just running the engine under a min will do no damage to the impeller. it will not get hot enough to cause any damage. there is video on KZbin that they tested this.

Need some clarity on your question. I don’t understand.

I have one GT56 transducer mounted on the trolling motor and one mounted on the transom. They are connected to their respective Garmins. Transom to the console graph and trolling motor to the bow graph. You do not have to use both transducers if you have all of your graphs networked together. You could use the live-scope transducer at the bow and a GT56 transducer at the transom.

@@belowaveragebassfisherman574you have the two gt56’s? I’m assuming you’re just running them at different frequencies? I’ve got the 106sv at the bow and thinking about getting a 94sv for the console or the lowrance.

Thank you for your help btw!

@@shaneadamsre yes. I cannot remember the frequency I’m running. I’m not at home or I would go look. But yes, I have one on the front and back of my boat for each graph.

@@belowaveragebassfisherman574 what’s the main reason to have a transducer on the front? I just ordered a cord to network mine together, so wouldn’t the one in the back work fine?

I’m not sure about that. I bought mine used and change the oil and lower unit fluid once per year. I would check owners manual or call Mercury.

If your unit is new,It should have came with a book or you can google it on procedure break in hours required by warranty and it will give you the hours when to change the oil,lower gear oil and fuel filters . I installed the vesselview on my motor and it Bluetooth to your phone and you can keep up with the hours on the motor with that and keep a log of all the maintenance.

Yes! I’m so sorry for calling a 3.99 a “4 pounder” thank you for correcting me! Good looking out!

This guy

I’m not sure what you mean. Both ends of the network cable are the same Ethernet style plug.

It’s just a garmin network cable. It has a Ethernet connection on both ends.

It holds very well but you will spin in the wind. I love mine. I do not regret spending the money!

I may have to order some of those hooks for sure then!

Not sure. Never used them.
