I have had this boat for a couple yrs now, and learned a lot. I have had very stiff steering ever since I have had it, and only had it on the water probably a dozen times total. This year I decided I was going to tackle the stiff steering as I have been a little concerned about my lack of...
I noticed that my new replacement seats with plastic bases do not have vents. I found 3 1/2" round louvered vents for sale, and they are described as "giving air circulation for wooden seat bases to keep them strong". I understand that the moister can damage the wooden seats, but wouldn't you...

I have tossed these front fishing seats that were on the boat when I...
I have a late '80s Evinrude 30HP that came on a 18' pontoon boat I bought last year. I tore off all the rotten seats, and rebuilt the helm and added a new seat for the captain, changed sparks plugs, replaced some soft gas line, and had a good first year on my boat using camping chairs.
