We took one of my new props and one of my guys put a Satin finish on it except for the blade faces that I had him polish. We also added a little more cup and put a knife edge on the trailing edge you can cut paper with.
All the oil has drained out of the resevour on my tilt trim pump do to me having it tied up out of the way when replacing the floor. I went to the local boat store today and they had Mercury brand oil for 9 bucks a quart. Is this what everybody is using or is there other brands / oils that I can...
I was walking through the swap meet at the Carlisle PA Corvette meet today and found these mini boat motors at one of the booths. I took some pictures to share.
We completed a lot of the woring on the boat this weekend however there is 2 wires coming from the controls that go to the dash. Both wires are yellow with a red tracer. What do these control and were do they go? The 2 wires are together and in a cover coming out of the controls.
Any ideas?
I was looking at a job in Greensboro NC and was wondering if anybody on Iboats lives around there? Is there some pretty good lakes to boat on or even maybe live on?
Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am getting ready to wire in all the new dash and electronics on the boat. The only item that I failed to buy was a horn. I am going to be under the dash working and it is 20 years old so it is also getting replaced. The question is does it have to be a "marine" horn? I can buy about any...
We cut out some new dash panel pieces and then replaced all the switches and added a few extras. We then covered it in yellow vinyl to match the boat and then lettered all the switches in gray to match the other color of the boat.
Here is what the original dash looked like.
Here are the new...
I have purchased a aftermarket wheel for the restore project on my boat however the factory wheel is just bolted to the the shaft that is keyed.

Well no sooner did I get it home and I started tearing into it to see what I have and what I need.
First thing was to remove all the decals and window tint along with cleaning all the crap out of it. This took the entire first day.
Second was to do some cleaning and checking on how much work I...
