I have been using Evinrude XD30 in several of my outboards and use about a gallon in 2 to 3 days. Is there a alternative or equivalent? I use the boats daily for work and am wanting to cut back on expenses a little. Besides, the closest place that has it in stock is about a 40 minute drive from...
I was looking through some of the extra stuff I have laying around and came cross a few things I bought to go on a Lark III I no longer have. The first one is a NOS tiller handle with hardware for an early 60's 40? horse. The second item is a tiller mounted remote shifter. What would be the...
Not long ago, a friend of mine and I were chasing mullet. We were in an area that we know pretty well. There is a steel pipe that usually stuck out of the water at about 45 degrees. It was a marsh tide and the pipe was just under the surface of the water. In that same area there was a large...
I have a 50hp Honda tilt/trim unit I am going to mount on a Nissan 30hp and need a good wiring diagram for the tilt/trim circuit. I already have the mechanical part figured out. I had a machine shop make me some bushings to make everything work.

Help!!! My girlfriend decided to "help" me by "straightening my work shop" and moved the parts to my lower unit. I had them laid out in the order and direction they come apart, before they all got thrown into a box. I have everything figured out but the dog clutch. It has an offset where the pin...
I have a few projects coming up and need to find a local source for resin. I need 2ea. 55 gallon drums without wax for the later projects and need about 10 to 15 gallons now. Anybody know where I can pick some up around southeast NC? Hopefully around $750 a drum. The last drum I bought I paid...
I am wanting to put electric start on my 92 Nissan 30 horse. I have been looking for a starter but keep getting asked what the numbers are on the old starter. I don't have one to get the numbers off of though. Does anyone have either a 25 or 30 that they can give me the numbers from, or better...
