@@purplefurture6960 If it isn't repeating values when you return it to down position then maybe the sensor is bad, or it's not seated correctly I doubt it is an electrical issue.
@@purplefurture6960 I'm no expert either, but I would remove the sensor and slowly move it back and forth and watch the gage. If the needle is jumpy and nor smooth then I would get a new gage. If it's OK then look for anything mechanically suspicious.
Thank you so much for your video! We were happy to find it. We followed your directions which were well explained. However, on our bike, which is also a Marcy from Amazon, there's no extra cable to allow the magnet to get closer to the wheel. If you have any suggestions we would be happy to try them! The only other option we see is the gray holder that's welded to the frame, bending that forward to give more slack. It's quite strong so we doubt that will even give.
If you've moved the stop , and also moved the cable adjustment as far as possible, then bending the bracket (time stamp 7:17) is the only option left. If your bike is the same as mine it would work. Good luck!
@@DeltaBassBuster 2001 60ELPT-4S, as I understand it was the 1st yr they made a 4 stroke, and only year it had carbs. Depending on carbs it was a 50 or 60 hp.
Thank you so much, so informative....this video really helped me out adding gauges to my boat - I couldn't find this information anywhere else. Very nice video.
A very informative video, thank you. I can now have a look at my Tohatsu 60hp as the gauge is on the boat and now I see it's likely just a sender that's required.
A most informative how-to video. I have the same, exact chipper/shredder which was sold under the MTU brand. It's been a solid performer. It's heavy, and I can just barely pick it up. The maintenance on the blades and engine have always fallen into my hands. Most recently, I sharpened the blades and was curious how the impeller would be removed.
@@oldhobo5610 The bike I have is an Ironman x-Class 410. The screws are set in very deep. I think I'm going to have to find a handyman to fix it. But your video helps.
My friend had a house on that island and grew up there. This is so cool to see. My brother also pulled up a Civil Warship anchor and it is in the Middleburg museum. Old stories say that there is a stolen sunken Confederate gold ship sunk somewhere.
I started with the video of visiting Jacksonville. I backed up to the previous video and was floored that y’all was in Black Creek and went to Middleburg Baptist for church. I’ve grown up on that creek swimming,fishing, and everything in between. I’ve found holes up to 90’ deep that you passed. I worst the golf course right down from where you landed for church. It was called The Ravines and had a tee box on #9 that you had to hit over the creek. Which in that corner is a deep deep hole about 60’. Great videos 🤙🏻
@@jeremyaustin6328 Thx, I think it's neat when local people actually see these videos and add comments. I didn't expect that when I started the series.
@@oldhobo5610 Flint river, headwaters of Lake Blackshear, between Americus and Vienna, Ga. lived on that river, I know it well. but go to the Chattahoochee too. I'm currently exploring Florida.
What was your average speed? How many miles per day? I would like to try this with solar power only. I have 1600 watts in portable panels and two large batteries... Possibly a 17 foot aluminum boat with three electric trolling motors??? Thoughts? I'm 70.....
@@professorhoodoo We limited speed to 6 to 6.5 mph for economy. There is a concept called "hull speed". Above hull speed the power required increases very much because you are just pushing water and making a wake (until you get planing on top of the wave which changes things). The narrower your boat is relative to length the higher that speed will be. 4mph would be a very efficient speed, wasting little power.
@@professorhoodoo We traveled 2 to 8 hours a day depending on what we wanted to see. At 6mph it wasn't far but the St Johns R. had so much you'd miss if going faster. Also many creeks and no wake and manatee zones limit you to 6 mph in many areas.
@@professorhoodooWow! 1600 watts is a lot of solar power if you can fit it. You would still generate some usable power on cloudy days and supplement with batteries a bit. Batteries are the limiting factor. Not directly relevant to your plans but we use our 300watts of panel and 200 amp-hr LiFePO4 batteries to run a 40watt fridge, lights, GPS, occasionally a TV. We are over capacitized for our light load but can handle cloudy days and we have enough storage thru the nite. Good luck with your plans!

@@philipmiddleton3693 Just a note: Would be better if heavier ( maybe with a ride-along step). Also bigger tires for traction, tho that would interfere with my tongue jack and limit turn radius.
Brown Anole. They are invasive to Florida. Those eggs are of the invasive apple snail. They have a neurotoxin on them so no touching. The native snail eggs are white. What a great series
@@allkindsofoutdooractivities Thx for pointing out that particular snail egg cluster was non-native. I just read now that only one of the "Pomacea" apple snail species is native to FL.
@@DEVILDOG1964 Good question. The The 2001 Merc 50/60hp service manual gives no life limit but dictates a yearly or 100hr visual inspection. Subsequent to this I think they came out with a max life in years, but I can't seem to find that. I was thinking 1000hrs or 10 yrs but do not quote me, look for an original Mercury source or call a dealer. I think some larger motors might specify 300hrs or 5 years but again don't quote me on that. The belt I removed looked unworn and was still flexible, but I was not sure of the motor's history and wanted a new one
@@oldhobo5610 THX I HAVE A 4 STROKE 115 MERC THAT'S 10 YEARS OLD MAIN POWER TO AND FROM FISHING GROUNDS MY 9.9 HONDA 4 STROKE THAT'S 9 YEARS OLD AND IS THE WORKHORSE WHEN I TROLL FOR WALLEYES. TRUTHFULLY I NEVER KNEW NOR DID ANY OF MY FRIENDS KNOW THEIR WERE TIMING BELTS IN OUTBOARD MOTORS UNTIL NOW. THE DEALER TOLD ME AS YOU SAID 300 HRS OR 5 YEARS. GUESS I BETTER CHANGE BOTH THIS FALL. THX
@@DEVILDOG1964 To be safe, follow the advice! Car engines have longer intervals but don't run high rpm all the time so that might be a reason to be more conservative about outboard motor belt life.
Retired oat / Yacht Capt. here.. This is my retirement program... To have a Small liveaboard boat and travel all the rivers and lakes till I can't anymore... Cool..
I have done a lot of boating around the west side of the Acosta bridge. Tarpon run in this area of the river. They like all the mullet. I have never seen any sharks here, although I am sure the river holds hundreds of them. I have seen plenty of dolphins here, they also like the mullet, however they snack on the trout. You may have seen a Dolphin if the back only breaches then just down real quick, shark fin rides on the top for a good distance.
@@oldhobo5610 I do not doubt you at all, my girl friend caught a Bonnet Head Hammerhead under the Fuller Warren Bridge. There are tons of fish in this area when the mullet are running. Big Tarpon, Big Red Fish and Big Stripers are all over this area. Around the bottom of the Matthews Bridge we caught a 5 foot Bull Shark on Cut Mullet.
Cory bells is a great place to eat. We take our boat from astor to Corey's eat and throw anchor across the river. Spend the night and head back to astor. Fun easy trip.
It's a real issue here older singke men come foen here with little or no money with the idea they can buy a chesp boat fix it up live cheaply and happily ever after then two things usually kick in Florida weather and alcohol and the rest is evident. If you like you can always reach out and I'm happy for us to communicate aboit any future trios to Florida you might ve planning being 81 having lived here since i was 13 and having had boats all my life I'm familiar with almost all of the west ciast and a good deal of the middle of the state and would be happy to answer any questions you might have
What kind of boat do you have? I love the size, would love to find one. How did you start in one place and get your vehicle transported to the end of the journey? Thanks for the journey
@@JKART-do5jc Check out the whole St Johns series for answers, this was part 11 of 11. It's a 1971 Hobo, built in Wiarton Ontario. The earliest videos on the channel are about my 2-1/2 year rebuild. Other travels include the Trent Severn canal system in Ontario, and more. Hobo related content is in its own playlist, check it out! This trip started and ended in Sanford. We trailered there and back from Ontario.
@@JKART-do5jc Yes, but it's pretty exposed. Check out Georgian Bay and the Manitoulin Island northern passage which are popular and very interesting (but in our case it would be a challenge for our little boat in the open areas).
That Lizards name, is Lando Malarie. He’s a bit eccentric but will share his Moon Pie and RC COLA with you…if you ask nicely. He is also known to put peanuts in his coke.
@@jebbohanan2626 I once thot it was from the Land O' Malarkey myself but now believe it is a visitor from Cuba (invasive species) , called "Anolis sagrei" (brown Anole).
