    What size trailer winch?

    I just replaced my winch earlier this summer. My boat is less than 2K lbs, but, I have bad shoulders, torn rotator cuffs in both shoulders !! Heavy cranking is a big no no !! I bought a two speed winch from West Marine, nice quality, well made, best price for a quality winch anywhere. This...

    Rescued 69 Evinrude Rogue with stringer need beginner tips

    Even if you get this up and running ( and you probably wont, no offense) all you will end up with is a possible parts boat and motor. Hate to bear bad news, but no one else will be interested in this other than for some spare parts mabey !! While these were cool looking, no one would be...

    Best fuel stabilizer for older 2 strokes

    The higher the alcohol content rhe more HP your engine will make IF it is set up to run on it !! The E85 vehicles are setup to run both E10 and E85, so when running E85 your motor becomes detuned thus the poor performance and economy. If you run straight E85 and set your engine up for it only...

    Is my engine mounted low enough?

    Not sure about 10 inches but from that pic, another 5-6" deeper would be better. Right now the cooling intake is just barely deep enough, better to be a little deeper !!

    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...

    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.
