As some of you know my motor broke again in the final tueday nighter. Tracker called today and said it has a bad coil and that they will replace all the coils. (they fall under a recall) I also heard that James had motor issues during the Wed. nighter and talking to Don it turns out James has a bad set of coils also. Weird coinsidence, I just hope this will fix it for good, this is the 5th time they have had to fix this motor. Thank god for warranty.

Tim ,  I hope this fixes the problem also .  That way you will be out running around with the rest of us insted of putting your heads down and getting a check using only the troll motor .

James has his boat at Tracker also ,  and he wondered if a Nitro or a Bass Cat got worked on first ?  Hummmmmmmm  let me think about that .  Mabe we have a chance to move up a place tomorrow night .

I hope this fixes both issues .  But ,  I feel like Merc knows they have an issue with these coils .  Otherwise they are not going to replace all of them when they could get by with one .  DG

YAMAHA POP PING POW BOOOOM, DAMN GAS GUZZLING OIL BURNING PIECES OF .     Na just kidding I've owned all of them and they went POP sooner or later.  I hate all outboards, you would think for the money they cost they would be a little more dependable, but I guess if I hopped in my truck and floored it then ran it thru a bumpy azz pasture every second of its life it probably wouldnt last either.
