    The 9.9 is better than swapping carbs to make it a 15hp You’ll have more gas mileage keeping It a 9.9 You’ll use more fuel and still run the same speed !

    This was a great watch..Those of us who love to do DYI projects eat this stuff up. Last winter I bought a 12 ft tracker put a Merc 9.9 and a trolling motor. Down on the southern Colorado River water has become to skinny to run my Lund most days. So, built what I call..The Swamp Donkey. I still have tweaks because of all the noise the aluminum makes in the water. Drives me insane, but it'll get dealt with. Keep em coming. Stay safe

    I like that boat! I have the same trolling motor on my boat and it's a 1989, i was wanting to replace it but it still works good. Glad you showed labels on it. Mine don't have any info on it beside Evinrude, my direction indicator came off also. It yeeted itself off, as my kids said 😅

  • @WNCworks
    @WNCworks 18 днів тому

    It should have a stator on the motor that charges the batteries. Probably why they had the batteries connected, so it would charge them both...

    • @backwaterboatrehab
      @backwaterboatrehab 18 днів тому

      You’re right. I’ve just never seen anyone try to charge both batteries from the motor. Quick internet search shows it is indeed possible though.

    • @C_K_Williams
      @C_K_Williams 18 днів тому

      Batteries in parallel (+ to + and - to -) will maintain 12volts but increase the amp hour to the total of both batteries. Batteries in series (+ to - ) will increase volts but not the amp hour. Two 12 volt batteries in series will create a 24v system.

    I’m currently binge watching your videos. Right now I’m watching your Alumahawk Paint where you made your own color of tan mixing black & Jon boat green . I love that color! I’m working on my own Jon Boat now , just finished my transom rebuild (almost) using your video techniques . Of course I will be redoing my trailer ( have most all the parts, installed jack , new 2” hitch & have parts including new lights, runners, carpet & all the above. I have a 1986 Cajun Special 14/36 & a 1978 2 stroke 9.8 Mercury motor. Anyway, I have been sharing your UA-cam channel @backwaterboatrehab on my Facebook threads that I follow. Yours is the most informative step by step of any other Jon Boat Channel on UA-cam in my opinion! Thanks for sharing all your content! Would love to get one of your BWBR stickers to put on back of my Louisiana made boat when it’s completed. Thanks Dude ! Bill Buck in Louisiana 🇺🇸🎣
