2006 Puma, I can only see maybe one screw but I did not look very close. Rather than post a name here, here is my serial # [font=CALIBRI,SANS-SERIF]BASPW539E606ThanksJohn[/font]
There is one set screw. Is that all that holds the rail in place? I did not have a chance to loosen it and see if the rail slides in more and then try tightening it. With one screw does that mean the other clear tube is fixed in place and my part that is loose is meant to come out so the bulb can be changed?Your help is always appreciated.Thanks
Phil, That is exactly what I needed. Appreciate the support
On the tail lights there are 3 leads. One is white which is the ground. Sorry I cant remember the other two colors but which one is for the turn and which one for the brake? I had several wires get disconnected and it is not easy to see which one went where. I was thinking it was a ground problem but both sides light up but a different times. I figured I would take one at a time and make sure it worked. Thanks again.
Appreciate the quick response and help.John
Neither of my rod locker lights work. All of the other compartments work and have a ground wire right there in each compartment. The rod lockers only have the mercury switch to them, there is no visible ground like on the other compartments.. Are they using some other ground or a common one used on the other compartments? These are the last 2 I need to get working. I did not test the sockets or anything else. I would suspect that grounding is the issue.ThanksJohn
I appreciate the feedback. Did not realize the difference 2 octane would make. Will treat her to the good stuff from now on.I have a Tempest 27 pitchNever thought I would say this but “I dont miss my Ranger at all since I aquired my Puma” No comparison in layout, construction and conviences.This board and the FAQ section is amazing with the information that is shared between owners.Proud to be a new member of the cat famitlyJohn
Is the bottom of the transducer even with the bottom of that part of the boat?John
I thought the keys were special and had not even thought about the option of having a locksmith make some.Appreciate the feedbackJohn
Bobcat,It would be much appreciated.SMBASS,My key is stamped RH001. I am not sure if RH1 would be the same but if you could send me one, I will try it. If it does not work, I would return it.Thanks to both of youJohn
Jay, If you could part with one or two it would be appreciated. My address was in the original post. That should give me 4 keys total which will be enough.Thanks for the help and supportJohn
I just mounted a transducer to my fixed jack plate. Mune is made from aluminum and was really easy to drill. I marked the locarion first and then used a smaller drill bit first and then used the bigger size next. The screws I used were self tapping and I put some sealent on them before I tightened them up.I measured the thickness of the jackplate and then put a piece of tape on the bit so I did not drill deeper than the depth I needed. My bracket is located on the very bottom of the jack plate on the left hand side. I made sure the transduced was level and tightened things down. My locator was a Hummingbird 597CI and it reads the speed from the internal GPS. I get good visuals at whatever speed I run. On a movable jack plate you would have tp make sure it was out of the way when the motot was in its lowest position or you might sheer it off.John
Great looking rig….. will turn a lot of heads at the rampFrank at Time on the Water is a really good knowledgable guyJohn
I just bought a replacement from my Mercury dealer. Mine was not in stock and took about 10 days to get. $10 per key but I received 2 keys, one fancy and ond just the plain key.John
I went with Iguana Graphics for my numbers and was really pleased. They matched the colors perfectly with black metal flake for the main part and outlined in red metal flake which matched the stripe on the side to a T. They came all in one piece and were easy to install. He uses the best 3 M material. I had him do a proof and then blew it up to actual size, cut it out and taped it to the boat to make sure it looked good before I placed the order. Delivery was in less than a week. I would highly recommend.John
