Hey folks,

I have the same engine. Replaced the impeller kit. Gear oil replaced and was clean. Upon initial startup, it buzzes as expected, then quiet.. warms up, runs low for 5 min… after a bit, it starts buzzing… temp sensor shows water max at 98 degrees spouting out on idle. It seems if I wiggle the key/ignition on the throttle, at times, I’m able to stop it… almost like there’s a short. Not sure how to test or isolate the issue.

The outboard is used and acquired it w/ oil tank removed and told they just mix the gas w/ oil when they fill it up. Is there a few steps outlined somewhere you could point me to? Appreciate the help.

Hey folks, Just found this post even though its over a years old, I’m debating now myself. I currently own a Garmin UHD 93SV. Love it. Can’t get another, totally out of stock and guessing through the season this 2021 summer due to Covid supply mess. I was planning on getting a second for up front and linking them to share way points and such.

Now I found in stock locally on sale the Lowrance Elite 9ti2 for same price as garmin… Actually out the door for $650. I bought one but now questioning if I should even install it, sell it, and wait for Garmin supply and deal again for $700? Would most likely forgo this season w/ only one finder behind my console. Nothing up front, but I’m up front mostly so don’t even see the fish finder then.

I also want to consider Panoptix Live Scope in the future, but understand Lowrance has a comparable product now for the same add on price of about $1500… I could buy another Lowrance now, uninstall the Garmin and sell it, and have a nice Elite 9 in front and center console for about $1300 total.

Any feedback on both these products now that they’ve been in the market for some time?

Much appreciated.
