    Plastic gas tank outboard.

    Sounds like a better plan, you might check for marine salvage yards ( junk yards) you might be able to scrounge up a small builtin fuel tank for little $$$.

    Sea foam for outboards?

    That is why there are many products out there to use. Another one that I have had excellent sucess with is the Lucas brand fuel conditioner. Doesn't work as well on two strokes but awesome for four stroke engines. Seafoam for two strokes and lucas for 4 stroke engines!! After 30 plus years...

    There are set rules for " properly" how do you know you can do it properly ? Most portable tanks are not built to the same specs as a built in tank so....if you choose to tackle this project, do not cut any corners and no patch job short cuts for your own safety !!

    Advice Needed on Boat Repair.

    Do a very close check up on the transom and stringers, unless they have been replaced, they are gonna be rotten !! Very unsafe for your family if not fixed !! That rotten wood has no structure to hold anything. Core samples are required to test, just thumping around won't do it !!

    Mine is an older model than yours, the same latch that realeases the motor from its stored position, is the latch that locks it in the down position. Should have instructions in your owners manual !!

    Sea foam for outboards?

    Yes there is if you let it get bad. By keeping up with it by adding a couple oz of seafoam every other tank keeps problems away. At my small boat club/ marina, they only folks that have issues each year, are those that don't use either !! If it works well for 75% of the boat club and the...

    Starting issue

    Check actual battery voltage with a voltmeter. Battery is full at 12.7 volts and above! Below 12 volts is basicly dead even though the spark is good. Also get your battery tested, usually free at most parts stores.

    Sea foam for outboards?

    I use both, have for many, many years ...Stabil is primarily a fuel stabilizer for long term storage, but helps thru the season if the boat does not get used often. I use seafoam as an engine cleaner, really helps maintain a smoother idle. Lots of folks call them snake oils and other names but...

    Minn kota trolling motor issues.

    Just a guess here, but are you shallow enough the motor hits bottom and forces its way back up ?? Other wise my guess it it isn't latched into the down position. On my powerdrive, there is a latch that locks it in the down position...

    Turn the boat, kill the engine.

    Also ...where are you getting your fuel ?? There are certain places where I won't buy gas due to there poor maintenence on there equipment which increases the chance of water in the fuel. Never buy fuel when the underground tank is being filled by the truck !! Never buy from stations that...

When I add another one or two people I can't tuck the trim all the way down as it makes it worse getting the bow up and on plane. Between thevtrim on the OD and tabs might be to much...
