    15 hp gamefisher water output

    How much water should be coming from the exhaust port? I am used to outboards that pee. This one water dribbles out of the port, but a good amount is flowing. I took it apart and stuck a water hose in to the water passages. The impellar looked brand new. Motor runs good and I want to keep it...

    Parts interchangeable?

    I was given a small 2.5 HP Mercury. Was told it needs a rebuild. There are a couple of 3.5 HP powerheads on fleabay. Would this be an option for me? The small motors look the same.

    Cheap refinish

    What would be the cheapest and easiest way to refinish my fiberglass jon boat before paint? I was going to spray on bedliner then paint it, but the bedliner did not cover the woven. Bought a quart of Bondo Glass, but figured I would ask you guys before I go that route. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    Back after a long absence

    It's been a while since I posted on Iboats. Gave away one boat and sold the other. I moved to Myrtle Beach, and it can be pretty expensive to go boating here. Well I started going fishing in the inlet with a friend of mine. It got me hooked. He has a 12 ft jon boat with a 3.5 HP motor on it. It...

    Washing Machine Repair

    I have a GE top loader that is just out of warrenty. It started making a loud sqeaking noise during agitation. I greased the suspension rods with white lithium, but it didn't help. Then proceeded to pull the agitator off, and the noise goes away. What is causing the agitator to squeak, and how...

    Return Deposit?

    I recently sold a project boat that I could not find time for. It was listed as a project and I was totally honest about it. The buyer has given me $1500 of the $3500 he owes me as a deposit. It has been a month since he commited to it. Now he wants to haggle on the price. I agreed to hold it...

    Part Out Pontoon

    Is there any money to be made parting out an older toon? I need a trailer, and can buy an older toon with one cheaper than a trailer alone. Thanks.

    Smart Tabs Installed

    My buddy got his tabs installed with the help of Iboats and Nauticus. He ordered them from here too. Needs the sealant to cure today before we can test them. Hopefully they will make his 17 footer ride a little smoother. It would beat you to death in choppy lake water.

    Seal Concrete Pond

    Does anyone know of a product that would seal a small concrete fish pond from leaks? I am hoping to find something that can picked up at one of the local hardware stores. Should have used a liner.

    Trailer Adjusting

    I hope you guys can give me some advice on adjusting a trailer. The bunks extend @ 5 inches beyond the boat now, so it needs to be corrected for Smart Tab placement. It would be easy to move the bow stop back a few inches, but the boat already rides very light on the front of the trailer. It is...

    Ill fitting tower

    My buddy bought a used steel tower for his boat. It almost fits perfect. The angle is a little off where the tower bolts to the boat. We tightned it down as tight as we could, and still have about a half inch gap at the bottom of the plate. The top part bolted up tight. The rack is on snug now...

    Smart Tab Placement (pic)

    I saw the sticky and am sure this is asked a lot, but every transom is different. My buddy has a 17' 92 Stingray 536 that he is installing Smart Tabs on. He wants to make sure the placement is perfect before drilling :) The transom is angled as well, so he is hoping someone can tell him how...

    Modify trailer for pontoon use

    I searched "pontoon" in the trailer forum, but can't find anyone that has done this. Can I buy a cheap used trailer off of CL and just add 4 bunks for the toons to rest on? The toon is only an 18'. Thanks.

    Carb Part (pics included)

    I have a buddy that needs some info on his boat. He has 1992 Stingray with a Mercruiser 3.0. He had a guy rebuild the carb and try to put it back on :) The guy broke the connecter that the fuel filter goes in to. The number he pulled off the block 815559-c. Is that part Marine specific, or can...

    Snake in lawn mower!

    After mowing the grass yesterday afternoon, I get off the mower and see a snake hanging from the deck's belt area. The first thing I did was remove it's head. Here are a couple of pics of the head: Any idea what kind it is? I am in South Carolina. My guess is a rattler or a water moccasin...
