How do you know if a fuse is blown in your pontoon tracker boat

SOURCE: Assembeling the Cimerron Pontoon Boat

I have a similar boat, but it's been a year or so since I used it. Here's what I remember.

Lay it all out first. It's very confusing until you get a visual. The seat rests on two bars. These bars span the two pontoons. I believe they use pins, rather than bolts to secure it. You probably have a basket and maybe a trolling motor mount. Get rid of the mount, unless you plan on using it. If you do, it attaches to the rear basket. The basket mounts to the back of the chair and rear bar with bolts.

Next, the leg holders slide in and there should be pins to hold them in place for the right distance. If there is a stand up plate and a casting bar, you're on your own on how to attach them. Obviously they go in the front, but I have no idea how they are attached.

Mine had an anchor, but this was a huge hassle. Much easier to pull to shore than park in the water.

There is probably a mesh type piece that fits under or around your seat with bungies or hooks. It may have a fish measure on it. If it does, that goes to the front.

The oars are merely pinned in at a comfortable spots. There should be oar "stops," that slide over your oars. Again, you have to adjust the length to how long your arms are. They don't slide too easily. And, they are needed so your oars don't slide off into the water.

The side bars should have a hump to rest the pontoons on. Buy a double pump and save some time, (or an electric pump). The following is the most important fact of all, You have two bladders in each pontoon. Inflate them BOTH. Air up one from the front, then the other from the rear, back and forth until the pontoon is ready to burst. This prevents a disaster. If one deflates or is punctured, the other one has enough air to support you to shore. Strap them on and you're ready to go. And I would suggest a practice run in calm water first. They are a little awkward at first. Good luck

Dont have the manual in front of me...recollect that there's two types of warnings. The pulsating warning is oil (starts with 30 minutes of oil left) or the fuel filter (or sperator, something like that) may have water in it. Running outboard with cover off, is a little black box that would have a red light lit if that's the case. If oil full & no red light, may be oil injection system...would also check to make sure lines aren't pinched, etc. Mine has been specific to oil the two times its gone off.

The full non-pulsating is engine overheat. Not sure beyond that.

Not much, but hopefully gets you going.

you need to trim the motor by adjusting it so it is more vertical. It must be angled down into the water too much now and so it is pulling itself deeper in the water,

SOURCE: My 30 ft. aluminum pontoons on my 1987 pontoon have holes!

Clean and use marine JB Weld on the holes. If entire surface is pitted badly, fill with Jb,sand with 300 grit entire pontoons, clean with acetone, paint with self etching primer and paint with acrylic enamel paint (automotive), followed by 2 coats of clear. I used silver gray metallic on my 24 ft. Grumman over 5 yrs. ago and it still looks great! Easier to clean than aluminum too. Just coat it a couple times a yr. with spray wax! USSGSPOT
