    do vintage Johnson red gas tank contain lead paint ?

    Welcome to iboats. Yes, paint it with a good quality industrial, or tractor paint. Oh wait, those contain lead. Unwarranted concern in my opinion. Lead is everywhere. A good percentage of the country's (US) water pipes are lead. Why are the children chewing on the gas can? They must be darn...

    1994 Force 40hp water jack nylon plug

    Would have worked to drive a flat screwdriver into it, the turn it out. Been there done that. Removing thermostat should give you enough access to remove any plastic shavings. Then run the engine with the thermostat assembly removed to flush it out .

    Stern light

    The light only uses two contacts. The 3rd peg is just so you install it in the correct orientation. Is the new light an LED ? If yes, you may need to swap the pos and neg wires in the base.

    I installed a euro style power port on my atv, for a hand held spotlight. Also known as a DIN Hella plug. First time I ran across them was on my BMW motorcycle(s). They work great on the bike and atv. I have used them for the heated gloves and pants, the phone charger, spotlight, and I...

    Hummingbird no fish alarm

    My hook and Helix see fish and display arches. Sometimes I am able to catch them as well. Time to sit down with that online 243 page manual and go through it. I try not to use too many of the features as it can be very time consuming and detracts from the boating/fishing experience. K I S S
