I am thinking it will be a floatation bracket, this way I can add an easy way to get in/out of the boat via water and it will add some space to the dance floor.
I am planning on getting rid of the splashwell, but keeping a 3/4 wall to keep water out and provide a space for storage of gear and...
Thats what I was thinking as well (tie everything together). My buddy is a structural engineer, he is going to think on it and provide some input. I think I will bolt it on as I think that will be a better method to tie everything together.
Hey everyone,
Having now used my boat over the year, I am thinking about adding an outboard bracket/offshore bracket (east/west coast thing i think). I am looking to add a better way to come out of the water other than using my plastic ladder and I would love to have the extra deck space. I...
Got her out on the water this past long weekend and caught some trout. Now onto the best salmon; Spring Chinook.
I am still not complete but its in a state that's fishable (but I am very close to completion).
Thank you, I was just going to reply that I had fixed the issue after getting my manual in late last week.
Thank you everyone for your help and advice.
Another update, the fuel filter mounted on the outboard (I also have a water/fuel filter mounted on the main line before it goes to the outboard) was not in an operable condition (looks like the filter had collapsed blocking flow). I replaced the filter and she started and ran momentarily but...
copy that, I appreciate the advise.
I am getting a fuel pump rebuild kit today, and I have ordered a new fuel filter as well. The boat has new fuel lines but I will check the existing filter and change it out.
The manual I ordered is due this week
I will report back.
I am having a problem with my 89 mariner where is starts sputters and dies.
I used the boat two weeks ago and everything was fine, ran normal. I tried to start the motor and it tries to start but doesn’t keep running.
I checked the fuel vent and it was bad, so I replaced it thinking my...
you are not alone, after a little bit of testing it will move and so I am going to use a few well nuts to secure the seat to the deck. I am using well nuts as they can be removed easily if the seat needs to be removed.
I just got my boat back after a day at the outboard mechanic spa, its now...
Not exactly sure yet, so far it has sat there without movement during transport but I was thinking of lining the bottom with some kind of felt to keep it in place
Finishing up two projects;
Flip flop helm seat is just about done, I have a cushion for it, just need to pickup a 2x4 for the backrest.
Transom area cover is in progress but not finished.
Since this thread is useless without pictures see the attached. Will post pics of the finished...
