    Older Minn Kota All Terrain 40 prop upgrade?

    Probably not, many reviews on various 3 blade tests on trolling motor props but havent seen anything conclusive. Even going with a bigger motor you won't see hardly any speed increase as they only go so fast. If your boat is heavy and your motor is struggling to push the weight or in strong...

    What does wood free hull actual mean

    Many aluminum boats are just that...all aluminum, no enclosed wood inside the transom, there are some that add a small pc of wood or rubber composite just for the outboard to clamp on, but that is normally smaller boats. Once the motors are big enough for bolt on, the wood clamp surface is no...

    Looking for a larger boat that I can trailer

    Must meet height requirements for bridges and overpasses and you probably need a semi tractor to pull a 38' boat. And you cant be over 102" wide I think the max width is. Doesn't sound very practicle to me.

    Shifter

    Unless something was stuck or jammed in the lower unit, the carb would not affect the shifting. You might try draining the lower unit again just in case there was something in there jamming things up !!

    Evinrude Paint

    I have never used primer unless on bare aluminum. When I re painted my old jon boat, there were some bare spots, but I didn't bother to prime them. Just scuffed everything with sand paper and a scruffy pad with paint thinner. Cleaned off everything with alcohol and let dry. Used Rustoleum...

    My 1992 still has the beep and neighbor has a newer motor but don't know the year that has the initial beep. According to my manual that beep is a test for the over heat alarm beeper. My magnet came off the oil level float also, so I disconnected it. I do check my oil level frequently and fill...
