    opinions ---hub temps

    Shouldn't be necessary unless grease is leaking out. You know you are supposed to jack the trailer up and spin the wheel when adding grease to those hubs, right?

    Bigger now bolt.

    I added an extra bow eye when I redid my boat. One for tie down strap, and one for winch strap. Makes it easier to launch and load. Remove tie down strap, attach bow line for launching, then release winch.

    Test running my Mercury 90HP (outboard)

    And do NOT leave it unattended. Those muffs can vibrate off and your motor will overheat in no time at all. IF I use muffs, I secure them with duct tape.

    '84 115hp T-o-P rebuild

    Aww jimmbo, no fun. Yes Venomous Duck, there is no removable head. You would have to cut it off, I mean in half. You have to split the case open to access the innards. And yes, #6 is often the first to go.

    '84 115hp T-o-P rebuild

    DO Not remove the head from that engine. In most cases, removing the head will make it useless, never to run again. I doubt you will find a head gasket for that motor as well, but, I've been wrong before.

    Help identifying this 60s boat.

    "My question is if you got a boat that didn't run why would you register it?" Because that's the law. Same applies to a car, operational or not. He says "he has a bill of sale from previous registered owner". Or did he steal it ?

    Expected speed from Minn Kota

    You're asking a lot from a 55# troller. The answer is ...maybe..? I could get 3.1 mph out of a 65# 24v motor, but the boat was only about 300#, 75# fully rigged. You will be really slow going into a wind.

    Slow etec 50 hp

    Really just wasting money at this point. Is it really worth it for 1 mph ? You aren't going to get 3, or 7, or 10 more mph.

    Recommended battery for 2005 Mercury 115 hp EFI

    At this point, all I can recommend is "a black one." Because I am also limited in not knowing the size of your battery box. What will fit? Group 24, 27, 31 ? Generally, I would stay away from a walmart battery since they changed them a few years back. A battery from Farm and Fleet or Napa...
