Re: Mercury Water Pressure Gauge Tubing Failure
Thanks for the information. The tube was definitely deteriorated. Several six inch long chunks were found in the bilge that would easily break into smaller ones when I bent them. Other parts of the same tube, such as under the cowling and in the console look like new. So I'm not sure why the tunnel ...

Mercury Water Pressure Gauge Tubing Failure
I'm the second owner of a 2014 170 Montauk with a 2014 Mercury 90-HP FOURSTROKE engine. The boat came with a Mercury water pressure gauge. It appears to be a standard package from a local Boston Whaler dealer. The engine water pressure gauge was not working, and I found the problem. The [tubing from...

Re: 2014 170 MONTAUK: Fuel Hose Route with 22-gallon Tank
I've now had a few months of use with my new tank and it is staying well secured. Although I'm wondering how this Moeller tank is vented. The cap doesn't have an obvious vent but it may be happening through the little black fitting on top of the gauge? Also do I need to place a fuel demand valve int...

Re: 190 Outrage Trolling Motor Installation
Thanks Phil for the information about using toggle bolts. I have a 2014 Montauk 170. My mechanic was proposing cutting out foam in the bow near the motor mount location. The 170 does have phenolic reinforcement in the bow. So now I have three opinions on how to mount the electric motor. One from my ...

Re: 190 Outrage Trolling Motor Installation
I have been talking with a boat mechanic who may install the electric motor for me. He doesn't want to use the toggle bolts since he has tried them in the past and they came loose ("wallowed out") over time. He prefers to cut an access hole, dig out some foam and then through bolt the moun...

Re: 190 Outrage Trolling Motor Installation
I was doing some research on installing a similar trolling motor on my 2014 Montauk 170. I came across the toggle bolt idea and was wondering if the foam beneath the deck would create a problem when the toggles deploy. Q1: should I assume from Phil's post that the toggle bolts have been used success...

As I mentioned earlier, I'm not with my boat for a few more weeks to make some precise measurements.

The 22-gallon on deck fuel tank uses almost the entire area under the pilot seat of a 20...

Foam contacts the hooks at this location and helps to keep them from slipping. If I haven't already pu...
