Re: Erratic Readings - I had the same problem with an Eagle FF on my Princecraft 17.6. I replaced the old unit with a Hummingbird 898Si Combo expecting to experience the same erratic reading problem at speed. On the advice of a LeBaron's staff member, I installed 2 transducers, 1) the Si, Di one is ...

Windsheild Wiper "Motor" installation - Princecraf

I'll try this one again with a proper description of my question! Can anyone with a windsheild wiper motor in their Princecraft OR who has put a wiper motor in their boat, tell me the make/model of the motor? Could anyone who has done a "home" installation provide comments on ease, pitfall...

Prop Repair

I used Marc Marine in Gatineau for my 13.35 X 15 off a 115 Merc and it cost me $80.00.

Great service, great job. I'd use them again.

Anyone know the brand or make of windshield wiper used by Princecraft?

Minn Kota Bow Mount Installation

In mounting a Terrova on the bow of my Princecraft using their quick release bracket and adaptor plate, I encountered the very same problem. I solved it by purchasing a piece of composite plastic 1/2" thick with the same dimensions as the adaptor plate at Plastics of Ottawa (or Canus) and I had...

Installing Cleats

I installed two cleats amidships on my new Princecraft 17'6" F&P after much research and gnashing of teeth. Princecraft told me it would be ok for simple mooring but not to pull tubers from these side locations and normally they recommended a backing plate on the inside of the hull. I purch...

Before you buy I would suggest you look at the Garmin 60CSx. Available many places and I would recommend checking out the price at GPS City Canada. Bought one last year, plus the Garmin Bluewater charts for eastern Canada (specifically use the Ottawa River section, used it for river travel and muski...

176FnP Trolling Motor

Farmer, Can't help you with your question but I have one of my own for you. I bought a Princecraft 176FnP late last summer and want to put a trolling motor on the bow this spring. What thrust do you currently use? Would a 55 be OK for the 176? I am receiving conflicting opinions, some say go to an 8...
