    Suzuki DT200 hours indicator

    So, I've read that there's a way to read the hours on a Suzuki outboard. Turn the key on only, tach will sweep and indicate 1000rpm for every 100 hours, rev limit light flashes for every 500 hours. I get 3 flashes on the rev limit light, no rpm sweeps. 1500 hours right? Does that sound right to...

    Security devices - switches/sensors/interlocks for doors and hatches

    Hey guys, I'd like to design a real simple "fail safe" security system to deter petty theft, usually batteries and electronics. And I mean, real simple. Although there will be video surveillance aimed directly at the boat, the marina owners have no problem with me having an alarm as long as it...

    Pondering next project...aluminum pilot house boat...opinions and advice?

    So, as this Sportcraft project starts winding down, and C-dory's are out of my reach, I'm thinking that I want to go boating when it's 30 degrees and snowing...next year. I don't want something 30 feet long, and I don't want, nor can I afford a $35,000 aluminum boat. I feel like no one builds...

    Ontario dream boat on iboats

    glassing tops of stringers

    Hey guys, I've done some searching and read some great tips on glassing the tops of stringers. From rounding them to adding wet strips right before decking, etc. My stringers are all in and tabbed on the '68 C-Gull... all the way up the sides leaving just the tops covered in resin only(marine...

    opinions for a 25hp Mercury Bigfoot on my boat and also fuel usage

    Hey guys, I bought a '68 Sportcraft c-gull trihull that I'm restoring. It's 15' long and weighs about 700 lbs without the motor. I removed the 60hp Johnson and am replacing it with a 2000 Mercury Bigfoot (I also have a second parts motor for the Mercury). No skiing, just cruising around or...

    1968 Sportcraft C-Gull work boat project

    Hey Guys, thought I'd introduce myself since I've been lurking this awesome site since 2006. I'm restoring a 1968 Sportcraft C-gull as an island commuter/work boat on the Ohio river. It will remain in the water as much as possible, tow a pontoon barge from time to time, and also display it's...
