    Reel Peachy - 1993 Stratos 280 SF - Transom Rebuild

    Sunday shenanigans! We I've got it down to the back wall now. Now I've got to do some fine work to get everything clean, cut some stuff down smooth, remove the layer of wood on the transom wall with a sander/grinder.

    Reel Peachy - 1993 Stratos 280 SF - Transom Rebuild

    Well I made a new friend today. Rgsauger stopped by to take a look at my progress and helped change my plans a little. So I took his advise and man am I glad that I did.

    1984 Johnson Seahorse 6hp model J6RCRM - Motor Flusher

    I just got this motor from my neighbor and I'm trying to work my wa through it. It's my first outboard so I'm trying to figure out what to do. I got it running in a bucket fine but would love to use a water flusher on it, but I don't know what kind to use. The Water Intake screen sits just...
