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 ...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

Excellent idea Jim. Great result, it may even hold the tank tighter. Thanks.

tank top view.jpg tank front view.jpg fig8.jpg The only holes I drilled were to attach the stainless footman's loops to the RPS. These loops anchor a 1.5-inch-wide strapsused to secure the tank. A 9- to 10-foot-long strap is adequate. The tank fits tightly, and it is hard to budge once the strap is...

I returned to my Boston Whaler 2014 170 MONTAUK boat, and I have now installed the 22-gallon tank using the plastic deck boards to lift my tank 1-inch higher. I used a small amount of 3M4200 to secure the boards. fig3.jpg fig4.jpg Lifting the tank allows the original hose location to be used and hel...

As I mentioned earlier, I'm not with my boat for a few more weeks to make some precise measurements. I remember a few things from last summer when I first placed the 22-gallon tank into the space under the seat. The 22-gallon on deck fuel tank uses almost the entire area under the pilot seat of a 20...

Figure 2 below shows someone’s rigging of a fuel tank on a 170 MONTAUK. I don't know how the hose was routed. On my 2014 170 MONTAUK boat, if I slide the 23-gallon on-deck fuel tank into place [under the pilot seat], then the fuel will be sitting atop the fuel hose as the hose enters the [opening on...

Sorry, I don't have a photo. I'm 3,000 miles from my boat right now. Although, I will be working on it in about a month. I have a 2014 170 Montauk and the set up is different than yours. The area under the seat has a three sided fiberglass enclosure which is open to the stern and the fuel hose enter...

I've purchased the new, white, 22-gallon on-deck plastic fuel tank for a 2014 170 MONTAUK. I now realize this large fuel tank will sit on top of the existing hole in the cockpit deck provided for the fuel hose that was located under the helm seat and goes through the rigging tunnel ceiling. To accom...

Perfect, thanks again, especially for the photo.

Thanks. Is a threaded connection [used to retain the colored lens onto the lamp base]?

The rubberized hooks of the ratchet straps are simply laid over the area where the cowling attaches. Just place them in a logical area where the straps have a straight line to the cavitation plate. Foam contacts the hooks at this location and helps to keep them from slipping. If I haven't already pu...

It is an incandescent bulb and the excessive heat theory due to being left on is plausible, but I did not notice any indication of heat deterioration on the lens. The 8 year old Montauk only had 16 hours of use when I bought it and the lens looked new, except for the separation of lens and cover as ...

It looks like I'll need to relocate where the fuel hose emerges from below deck under the seat. If there is away around drilling a hole, let me know. Q4: If I do drill a new hole a few inches to the starboard, how much leeway do I have before I run out of room in the rigging tunnel? I hate drilling ...

I purchased the white 22-gallon on- deck Moeller fuel tank (031626) for my 2014 Montauk 170 with the same year Mercury 90-HP engine. I recently purchased this boat and now realize it was not rigged with a primer bulb. Q1: Does this tank need a primer bulb inline to the engine? So far the two 6-gallo...

This boat has been sold.

Sorry, I forgot to add that the outboard is 60 HP.

[One day later] After taking a closer look inside the opening between lens and top plastic piece, I could see that the electric lightbulb and its contact were clean and without corrosion. The problem was with the top piece not being tight to the lens and the contacts not making a good connection whi...

How is the combined sidelight lamp at the bow of a 2014 170 MONTAUK boat disassembled? BACKSTORY: I need to get to the electric light bulb inside the combined sidelights lamp on a 2014 170 MONTAUK. Disassembly seems simple but everything is stuck. I do not want to break any part of the lamp. I've ad...

I recently purchased a 2014 Montauk 170. I was unclear how to fold down the Bimini top for highway travel, so I searched the forum for tips. I expecting that folding down the Bimini top for highway travel to be something simple. I thought surely engineers had devised a simple solution to prevent the...

Phil, thanks for the info and photo regarding when the Montauk 170 ( I remembered the zero) started offering the bait tank option. Did they also start offering the below deck gas tank at the same time? I'd love to find a good used 170 with both.

I assumed that if people were hanging auxiliary propulsion motors that were 80-lbs or more on the transom their boats, then putting a bait tank off the stern would work, too. I found information on the Montauk 17 boat and auxiliary propulsion engine mounting. The problem boiled down to the post-2001...

I'm considering putting about a 10-gallon bait tank on the outboard face of the transom of a 2003 MONTAUK 17 where it would be workable and would not clutter the deck. If anyone has put a 10-gallon bait tank on the transom of a MONTAUK 17, please tell me how the boat's handling was affected. Give me...

Several other venders besides Crowleys are available for that console control too.

I found a part number: 88688A14.

I found exploded diagrams and parts are available from Crowleys and others.

I appreciate the help. I will try contacting a Mercury dealer. Ironically, I just moved the boat from the Seattle area (where Sea-Way Marine is located) to my retirement place in Florida. Sea-Way Marine helped me many years ago as a student with my 1972 Mercury 7.5-HP engine. Who is an old-time Merc...
