    I know these pics kind of all look the same, but that deck carpet is now glued down! It went pretty well. Still paranoid about bubbles popping up though. lol

    Got it all trimmed up tonight. There is about 2" overlap all the way around. The plan is to glue the deck carpet down and let cure, then run a blade all the way around cutting two layers, then glue the seams.

    Scraped the deck with a razor blade tonight getting the rest of the leftover glue from the vinyl fiasco of 2 years ago. Tried a DA sander and belt sander but they just loaded up real quick. The razor blade worked good. I have a couple spots to touch up with epoxy and then I can cut some carpet.

    Waking up a 1985 Evinrude 140 (Looper). Fuel Pump Question

    I had my 140 Evinrude running 2 years ago on the stand. It's been almost 5 years since it ran on the boat. Two years ago I fogged it and ran it out of fuel. I now want to get her going as I plan on running it at some point this summer. Last time it ran, there was fuel seeping out the fuel...

    Well......I'm still thinking about working on it again. Does that count? Not going to help that the only thing the wife wanted for Christmas was for me to do some "honey-do's" around the house.
