    Electrical Schematics

    Chances are it has probably been changed some where along the way, by adding something or taking something out.

    97 Alumacraft MV Super Bandit

    I am assuming you have two batteries currently for your trolling motor ?? Keep in mind you would be cutting your trolling time by 50% going with only one battery. If you dont do much trolling with your electric motor then you would be fine. I am going thru a similiar thing myself, just bought...

    Hydrofoil/Whale Tail Good or Bad

    There are times when they help, trying one is the only real answer. Get the load balanced as well as you can before adding gizmos, these should be a last result.. Unfortunarely some folks run out and buy one just because they see other people with one. Like anything, therevis a time and place...

    22' starcraft islander, crack(s) in hull -- aluminum repair options?

    You dont weld riveted boats, the excess heat will causevthe surronding rivets to leak. Also way to much corrosion ans thinned out aluminum, when the heat hits it....you will just have a puddle of melted aluminum!!! Patching from both sides for structural integrity is a must. Hate to see a...

    No water coming out of the pee hole

    Had a bug or seed or something like that in my OB, I was lucky enough to just hammer the throttle for a minute and it blew out. If it didnt come out after a couple minutes I was going to shut it down, but I got lucky...

    Distorted Fish Shape On Fishfinder?

    I remember that house quite well....also remember watching it crumble away with the rest of the Island. We used to take boat rides out there about once a month to watch the build then watch the destruction over the years. Been about 3-4 years since I have been out there. Just bought another...

    Launching/retrieving with FWD

    Dont mash the gas pedal, once it starts to slip, it is harder to stop the slip. Easy on the gas, just enough to keep forward motion !!!! Slow and steady will work everytime!!! Towed with everything in my 70 plus years, never gad an issue with any, because I dont hot rod up the ramp!!

    "Tohatsu" no model/serial #?

    Gonna take lots of searching as Tohatsu made motors for lots of different labels, including there own brand as well as Mercury, Yamaha, and many others. They actually made pretty decent motors so there reputation shows.

    Help identifying this 60s boat.

    Looking at your pics, the logo looks like " AMC". There was a time that AMC was part of Brunswick corp and they did make boats. Just a thought.......
