    I recently purchased this 1974 15' Arrowglass Muskie in which the previous owner had replaced the plywood deck. First let me say I have never worked with any kind of resin or done any kind of fiberglassing work. The only knowledge I have on the subjects is from the many posts I have read on...

    HELP!! What is this THING on my 1963 Evinrude 18HP ??

    Anybody know what this thing is ? I've seen similar things used to hook up steering connections to another motor but I've never seen one mounted here. It is actually a very nice item. Nicely machined...doesn't look homemade. Thanks.

    While doing a spark test on my 1974 115HP Johnson one of the spark plug wire ends pulled out of the coil. They just push onto a metal prong inside the coil but I noticed the one that pulled out was the only one that was missing a little triangle shaped "grommet". It appears some sort of...

    I want to hook up a remote start switch to do some testing (spark, compression etc) on my 1974 Johnson 115HP and I've done some research on how to hook it up but it seems the more I research it the more confused I get. That seems to happen a lot to me. There is either a lot of contradictory...
