    Will do! Made it out yesterday, but have yet to install the Garmin. Weather and work has me limited on time. Got the dashes finished and installed. It was snowing, but managed to get the first (of many) fish in my “new” boat

    1990 70hp Evinrude Temp Sensor

    Afternoon all, I was thinking about installing something to monitor temperature on the 1990 E70TLESB. I know I can keep an eye on the water coming out, but I'd like something on the dash to just see... Anyone know if a reputable water temp sensor? Thanks

    Got trolling motor wired up today just before the rain. Dashes are also cut and waiting for another poly coat.

    Appreciate that! Yes it’s nice to know I could take it if I really wanted. It’s moving along. Hope to have dashes built and installed tomorrow (after a 10k I forgot I’d told the wife I’d run with her). Then it’s onto some wiring and connect the steering - should be on the water in a week. Use...

    Got some work done yesterday, took leave to get more organized and prepare for the upcoming weekend to maximize time spent. Pulled all wiring (nav lights, led lights around inner frame, 2 cigarette outlets, and bilge). What a rats nest. Wire ties belong in houses, not boats. Also sprayed bed...

    Been spending some time working on the boat. Took it out this past Monday for its maiden. Engine tan great and trolling motor tested fine on 12v. Picked up a used Minn Kota Terrova 80lb. Waiting on circuit breaker for install of trolling motor system. Going to Mount both batteries and on board...

    Nope- no markings other than the registration number carved into the aluminum.

    You're right... why go 80% of the way... I'll be pulling the floor to investigate as well. Now, I wish I had a pole barn or adequate space to work opposed to driveway work.

    Will do. I've got some practice with rivets - so hopefully that isn't an issue at all. Going to possibly pull windshield(s), motor and anything else needed and flip the boat on saw horses for the stripping/painting. Hopefully a couple buddies and I can get her turned over - can't imagine it's...

    Yes - I've got some work cut out for me. There are a dozen (at least) rivets on the hull I will be replacing. I'd also like to add a trolling motor, fish finder, fuse box to clean up the wiring. A paint job is also on the docket. First, I plan on doing a compression check to find out where I...

    Weird enough, the only thing where it "should be" is a poorly etched number.
