I am getting ready to paint my 1985 Proline Classic 20" CC. The last time I painted it 4 years ago I used a tractor paint method and paint I learned off of here. I am wanting to use a better paint this time and was wondering what everyones opinion on the Total Boat Wet Edge was. Thanks in advance
I have a hummingbird 788ci that I put a new transducer on yesterday and went out in the boat today. It's a brand new transducer and it's reading wrong and it's not showing the bottom or anything just the white screen with the depth lines on it. Am I not doing something right in the set up or...
I'm getting ready to install an external gps antenna for my hummingbird. I have a ttop but I really don't want to mount anything to it will it hurt to mount the antenna to the side off my console? Will it function the same? It will be facing to the side and not up. Will this work?
Thanks
I have a hummingbird 788ci that I just picked up from a friend. My problem is that the map that is loaded on the machine only covers lakes and waterways and only covers a couple miles off the Alabama coast. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to reprogram it to have the gulf of Mexico...
I am fixing to pull the heads on my ocean pro to inspect the cylinders. I've had some compression issues so I want to look before I take it to the shop. Mine has the individual o rings and I was wondering what the sealant that I see pressed between block and heads is. Just want to have some...

I have a 98 !75 Ocean Pro that has been giving me some issues. It runs fine other than when you get it above approx. 4000 rmp's. I restored boat over the winter and before I started there were no problems with it. When I got done with it and took it out the first time it ran fine at 4000 and...
I did a rebuild on all 6 of my carbs on my 1998 175 E175EXECD this weekend. Before I did the rebuild she would run right at 1000 rpm's on the hose and about 625 in the water. After I did the rebuild I noticed she was at about 800 on the hose and haven't been back to the water yet to see where...

Im asking this question for a friend. He has a 1984 Evinrude 140 J140TLCRD. The compression on it is 120 on all 4 cylinders. The problem he is having is that it is very hard to start at the beginning. It will crank and die 9 or 10 times. After you get it running it runs great and will start...
Just trying to figure out how props work. If you have a 15X17 Prop on a Evinrude 175 and you put a 14 1/2 X 19 what would be the results generally speaking. I am just curious. I am in the middle of a remodel on my boat where I am installing a tachometer where it didn't have one before so I...
