    Finished My Boat Makeover!

    Don't have very good pictures, but I finished installing my new rub rail kit just before dark today and had to take a couple of pictures anyway. The boat is a 1981 Continental with a 1990's Johnson 60HP. The transom was rotten, so I used "seacast" (a fine product I must say) and poured that...

    Anyone used this brand of throttle control? I just bought one for my boat. Seemed like a good deal and looks like it would be a decent control. Just looking for some feedback.. Cory

    Trolling Motor Mount

    Im looking to possibly mount a trolling motor onto my boat. I'm not exactly sure if it is even possible, as most boats Ive seen with trolling motors seem to be flat up front (I do not have flat space towards the front of the bow). I also would like be able to tuck it away when I'm not using it...

    I hate bottom paint....

    Spent all day trying to remove the old bottom paint from my boat. Most of it has already chipped off...but there is still some there that needs to be removed before I paint my boat. I got down underneath with a sander and some heavy grit sandpaper, and also used a putty knife to chip some way. I...

    Control/Ignition Wires

    Was cleaning out the rotten wood from my transom and cut through some slack wiring (didn't see the wires tucked down below the rotten wood in the transom). Realized it was the black wire holding a bunch of other wires inside that run to the plug on my johnson. Traced it back and its the...

    Closed Thermostat

    Got an early 1990's Johnson 60 HP. Got a new water pump and thermostat recently and changed out the old with the new. Water pump seems to pumping good, and the thermostat definitely made the motor shoot out warm water as opposed to cool water from not having a thermostat in it before. However...

    Tanning - Water Line Removal

    Trying to clean up the outside of my boat real good. There is a tanning line from the boat sitting in freshwater in south florida. I was wondering if anyone has used or know of a good buffing compound, or bleach of some sort that has good success at possibly removing this? I've tried Bleche...

    No Thermostat

    How bad is it to run no thermostat in a Johnson 60 HORSE. I know a lot of people choose not to run a thermostat, so the motor never really gets hot, but it is always hot down in south florida. So maybe this is why? Anyway, looking for some opinions. If I would run a thermostat, what would...
