    Please help ....

    the shaft doesn't come out with the ujoints. the ujoints have a female end that goes over the driveshaft. however, yes it's corroded onto the driveshaft. slidehammer may work...I've never had to do it. I would also assume the driveshaft bearings are bad as well. get yourself a manual.

    Adding a 3rd pontoon

    give us some more info about what you're working with. toon diameters, motor horse power would be helpful. I added a third tube to my toon and couldn't be happier. I can't answer your question the way it was asked, but I have a 24 foot boat with 24 foot tubes. I added an 18 foot tube of the...

    Toilet Installation Mishap . . .

    the better Kohler models have a metal bracket pre mounted to the bottom of the tank that the bolts mount into so you don't have to worry about the bolts helping to make the seal in the tank. the bracket also has feet that touch the bowl to indicate when it's tight enough. they also have...

    Yamaha 60hp to 90hp on a pontoon

    while the prop on a planing hull can make dramatic differences with water sports, I would say that this boat is lacking the speed needed to scare the grandkids. it's hard to believe a prop is going to give him the extra speed he's looking for. unless, of course, he is underproped, which would...

    Column Replacement

    your way would probably be fine. You could leave a few inches at the top and use a bracket like this one. You would have to wrap the bracket with some 1x matetial if you want to hide it...

    Computer Help!!

    I just updated my tower with a new HP tower I picked up. I bought it a while back but finally got around to switching it out with the old one. The switch went very well, got my files transferred, etc. So, yesterday, I went to use the computer and it won't start. Pardon me if my terminology...

    Tankless Hot Water Heater Recommendation

    there are many factors to consider. if you're sold on tankless, then go for it, but I would consider all options. if space is the biggest concern, tankless is the best, but if you have space for a tank, there are other options that may be cheaper to operate and cheaper upfront to buy.

    Engine Height

    my pontoon has them, if those are what he's talking about... I agree the transom looks to high and too small for that motor. but from the description, a bad prop hub seems like the first thing to check.

    23’ Harris pontoon w/ 135 plowing in back

    I would like to add, from my experience with my boat, the 3rd tube will not lift the rear of the boat. I added an 18' tube to my 24 footer a few years back, it sits about 2 feet in front of my motor pod, and is even with the other tubes at the front. I am very pleased with the results...

    Adding Third Toon to 24' Pontoon

    feel free to start your own thread, we would enjoy watching your project progress as well. the water line on your pontoon concerns me, it looks like the rear is sitting way low, especially when your planning to add 1000lbs to the rear of the boat. I added a third tube a few years back, but...

    homebuilders / construction guys lend me your ear

    if you have a continuous railing that needs to transition from the deck to the stairs, you may need to add two extra posts and a short section of flat railing if you don't go standard. that would decide it for.me.
