Probably not the breaker because one half of the rocker switch (the anchor light side) works. A connection may be faulty or maybe the wire has been cut somehow. I would trace the wires from the back of the switch, through the hole in the floor inside the helm, then try to find where they run...

Resurrecting this thread again. Potomacbassin': What diameter and pitch Yamaha SWS2 or Mercury Inertia do you recommend? Remember I'm currently running the 14 1/4 x 15P Turbo 1. And these things are expensive. Anyone recommend a source that will let me return it if it's worse than what I...

I feel for you, Big K. We were in the same boat here on Lake Murray until a month ago. Had about two weeks of heavy rain west of us in our watershed and the lake came up over two feet quickly. We're still a little low for this time of year but it is so much better. Hope you get back to...

Welcome. I don't think it would be practical to retrofit a ski pylon to your boat. (I think this is what you mean when you say ski tower.) They mount into an engineered receptacle welded to the transom below the deck. The pylon itself costs over $900 based on what I've read on social media...

Yea, my brackets are not that wide either. Mine are about as wide as yours. That's why one of my holes nearly broke out. But I'll do it again without hesitation on my next boat. I realize cables are a different solution. I like the pins better. No cables to get in the way, super easy to...

No problems whatsoever. I'm really glad to have the pin security when we get caught trying to beat (or get out from under) a storm. That's when we're often hauling butt with the top up. Just be careful drilling if you take this route. One of my holes drifted just a little and I nearly broke...

Not my pics but these show exactly what I am talking about.

I pegged all 4 Bimini connection points. Drill holes through the bases so you can add a hitch pin at each base. The Bimini uprights cannot come loose unless you pull the pins. I'll look for pics and update when I find them.

And I'll add, unless you are fighting a significant wind or current, there is no need to power into a docking space. I cringe when I see someone pull rapidly into a slip and then jam the motor in reverse to act as a brake. A lot can go wrong doing that. Use coasting to your advantage. Bump...

I believe most, if not all, pontoon steering wheels basically mount the same. I wouldn't shop for an aftermarket car steering wheel and expect one to fit my boat. But if you're shopping on a boat parts site, I think you'll be fine.

If changing props didn't affect it and everything else checked out, the obvious answer is bent prop shaft or some other issue in the lower unit.

Thank you, as well, LD50. You guys are great. I switched the Hi/Lo input level switch to Lo and the volume control now works as it should! The volume knob now allows me to crank the volume without adjusting the sub. Even if we don't accomplish anything else, that is a huge win. And maybe...

And I now see there is a fader on/off push button. Heading back to the boat now to see selecting "on" solves the fader issue. EDIT TO ADD RESULT: On the amp fader button, I selected "on." When I tune the fader 100% forward, there is no change. Music comes out of all 6 speakers. When I tune...

Here are the amp pics. It's a Kicker KX M 800.5. Here you can see the entire top panel in one shot. This is the left third (from the orientation it is mounted) The middle third. I see the input level hi/lo button. And the right third

Here is a shot of the whole back of the PMX-2. I added the big labels when I did the swap. The manufacturer provided the small labels parallel to the wires. Aux input from the head unit connect to red and white RCA cables. Those RCA cables disappear into the spaghetti bundle. Front Line...
