    Replacing Motor mounts

    I was able to successfully replace the lower motor mount. I found a good video to help replace the hard one in the middle below the powerhead.. The one two on the side of the lower cowling I am not quite sure how to replace. Anyone have a link to a video?

    I have rebuilt carb, installed new fuel pump, new spark plugs, new fuel lines. Motor runs great once it gets warmed up. It idles low and will run all day once I get it running. It’s difficult to cold start especially and can be difficult to warm start at times. I installed tach, but I am...

    1990 Evinrude 9.9 with Stator and Lifep04 battery

    I bought a redodo 20ah cranking battery for my 1980 Johnson 35 hp outboard. Motor has has no rectifier and no busbar. I don't see any wires for the stator, so I think it has no rectifier either. I have been using this set up without issue this spring. Now comes in my next issue. I bought a 1990...

    Best shallow water river boat

    I am looking for some recommendations for a good shallow water river boat. I think a kayak would be great, but I fish with my 3-year-old son mostly. Our river system here is more like a bunch of wide creeks. Slow moving and can be waded in lots of spots. I'd be more likely to hit bottom than any...

    Lowe 1667

    Guy I know has an awesome Lowe 1667 he’s looking to sell. I’m really considering buying it. Has anyone fished out of one? How comfortable is it? How does it fish? I fish a river and mostly shallow water, so I’m not entirely sure how well a v hull would do in shallow water either. I know this...

    I have a 1977 Johnson 35 HP outboard with Electric start that runs great. Pushes my boat really well and has been a joy to use.

    How does this trailer fit look? I will adjust for tongue weight with my bathroom scale but thought this would be a good place to start.

    I’m restoring my boat. It’s time to get rid of the wood and install aluminum floors. I’m trying to decide on how thick of flooring I should go with 1/16th, 1/8th or something else? I will be putting foam under the aluminum.

    Is my trailer too short?

    I just wondered if my trailer is too short? I just redid my bunks (left them long but might cut down a little shorter) and I was looking at the fact my trailer sticks off the back support of the metal about 12 inches.. not sure if this is an issue or not? Thanks in advance Rob

    One cylinder, slipped prop, clutch dog

    My outboard did this this a few time today where it suddenly got weak. Motor sounded a little different and seemed to underperform as well on the top end compared to what I’m used to. You can see from video I think it cut to one cylinder, but I wanted a second and third opinion. Other ideas off...

    G-Flex Use

    I ordered a tube of 3M 5200 and a tube of G flex. I tried to cancel the order for the g flex, but it showed up anyways. I have to pay for a label for return shipping, and its worth just keeping at this point. I have replaced many of the rivets on my boat and coated them in 5200. I'm trying to...

    1978 Lund Deep V Hull, bow raising up dangerously high

    I have a 1978 Lund V hull that I am really having trouble with. This boat is 15 feet long, and 66" wide at the beam. The bow of the boat really wants to rise out of the water even with a little Johnson 15 HP on it. Like so much that I am nervous about flipping the boat. I'm trying to decide if...

    Metal omc tank. Cleaned inside really well replaced gaskets. Now it’s leaking in multiple places I’m not sure why. Pretty simple process, not sure where I went wrong.
