Background
I picked this beauty (w/ trailer; no motor) up in the beginning a January 2012 for $200 off of craigslist. I already have a boat so why would I need another (as my wife...
Hello everyone,
I'm wondering what size motor should I put on this rig. It's under restoration, but I'm always looking on craigslist for a motor that will eventually go with it. It doesn't have a max h.p. rating decal on it and the boat manufacturing company is out of business. Anyone out there...
Hello again,
I was thinking about going with 1/2" aruaco ply for the re-decking of my tri hull project. There is a main spindle (hope I'm terming it correctly) that runs down the center of the boat. At its widest point the boat is 54", which is at the stern, so it really decreases from there...
Not sure of the make, but it looks like a McKee Craft. I just cut the floor out and the foam underneath was saturated. I removed it all. I'm looking for advice on whether or not it is ok to not put any foam back in the hull before re-decking. My father in law says he would not put any back in...
Does anyone know anything about the boats this company manufactured? I just purchased a tri-hull that I'm going to do a restore job on. The HIN # the first three characters are CFM (CUSTOM FIBERGLS MFG INC). A websearch only yielded that they went out of business in 1989. I believe the length of...
I have a crack in the casing. This is the tilt trim unit where looking at the stern the ram is on the left and the motor and resevoir is on the right. Anyway I decided to put a new tilt trim unit on it to replace the cracked one. Anyone have any idea about what kind of salvage value the old one...
Ok, my previous post may have been a little confusing or something. I have searched the web for a resevoir seal for this tilt trim unit on my transom bracket. It is leaking bad and needs to be changed. All of my searches lead me to a replacement motor. Surely I can just replace this what to me...
Any suggestions on a seal kit for this motor's tilt trim. I'm leaking fluid at the base of the resevoir. Is there any way just to replace this seal instead of replacing all of them. I'd like to complete this job rather quickly as it it summer time and fishing is a must before the oil slick hits...
I purchased a Seachoice? Universal Kill Switch and Lanyard. I thought it would fairly simple to install. Take the yellow/black wire from my ignition a clip it onto the kill switch. With the motor running I tested the kill switch by pulling the tether cable until it broke connection with the kill...
:confused:I just hooked up my 125hp Merc ELPTO. The manual said to push the gear shifter towards the reverse gear until i felt resistance and then to measure the distance between the mounting stud and the throttle barrel housing. Then take the gear cable and push it in until i feel resistance...
