    1984 Mercury Trim Question

    That's the same unit I have on my 1985 Mercury 50HP 2-stroke. It works well. I also have a pair of 70HP Mercs with the exact same setup which I'll use on my Chieftain. My throttle control handle has 2 switches, one is used during trimming and the other is used for raising to trailering...

    2020 Starmada SOTY Winner: Classiccat's 1975 18ft Super Sport

    Thanks to all for your kind words. The KF project was quite something. Both "the boy" and I were rank amateurs at the start. We both learned a lot and I have no doubt that he'll make good use of what we've learned from the project, and from all of the great folks here in the Starmada! :geek:

    2020 Starmada SOTY Winner: Classiccat's 1975 18ft Super Sport

    Thanks CCat! It was an honor to be in the running with you! As for 2021, so far it's the same as 2020, but more of a mean drunk! LMAO! 😝 :ROFLMAO:

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    XPS dissolves, which is why I covered much of mine at the stern with HDPE (gasoline proof) bags.

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    We resolved the mounting clearance issues yesterday, then tested the tach prior to final installation. Hooked up the harness from the throttle controller and attached the wires as follows: From Harness Purple 12vdc to red and blue tach wires. Red for B+ and blue for lighting. Black ground...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    We got the steering wheel off yesterday. I bought a large, heavy, Grade 8 nut and put it on the steering wheel shaft. The boy pulled on the wheel and I whanged on the nut once and the wheel immediately popped off. :D After that, we measured everything to make sure that the tach would have...

    22' Islander rebuild

    That's exactly what I used. Great stuff. Very tough and super easy to touch up. I also added a little Rustoleum Anti-Skid additive to give it a bit more traction. (y) 😎

    Tackle boxes

    I still keep an old Daiwa take-down rod with its storage box in my truck. I've had that thing almost 40 years and it's caught a ton of fish. It's been broken and repaired and broken again, but is still usable after all these years. I don't use my truck very much anymore. I suppose I should...

    I found this video (starting at 1:09) but that technique didn't work. 🙁

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    It's been a beautiful, sunny day here. Blue skies, no wind and 75 degrees with low humidity. ☀️ 😎 So the boy and I went out to the garage to do a couple small things with the KF. Got those done and started to continue, but ended up getting stuck. The idea was to just test fit the tach...
