    1962 CD-19 5.5 HP-pumping water on startup?

    I have a CD19 I use on my little fishing boat. It was down for a month or so, needing new plugs, and I just recently got it running again. However, no water was coming from the exhaust port. I shut it down right away so it wouldn't get too hot, but should it be pumping water immediately upon...

    Pontoon Max Power Rating

    I have a 1986 Playbouy "Yachtsman" 24' pontoon. It was pretty rough when we got it, and as a result, there was no capacity plate. Was curious what the max power I could safely run would be. Most things I've read seem to point to 85 hp. Does this sound right? Would I be risking it running a 100...

    Beaching with Manual Tilt/Trim

    Just like the topic says, is there a safe way to beach a boat that has a manual tilt/trim motor? We would like to hit up some sandbars on the river this year, plus be able to pull onto the beach at the lake, but on both my pontoon and Glastron, they are manual motors. Is there a safe way to do...

    Transom Bracket Compatability

    I have a 1972 65 hp Johnson that I'm planning on rigging on my pontoon. It runs great, and the electric shift seems to work perfectly as well. That said, it's an old enough motor that it does not have a through motor steering tube setup, and I'm running into some issues trying to get it to work...

    Steering without through motor tube on pontoon.

    I am planning on rigging my pontoon with a 1972 65 hp Johnson. This motor is old enough that it does not have the ability to run the tilt tube through the motor mount, as it is on newer outboards. How would you recommend setting this up? I was already planning on ordering a new rotary steering...

    Prop for 24' Pontoon, 65 HP Johnson

    Just like the title says, I need a prop for the 65 HP Johnson that is going on my 24' Pontoon. Obviously I'm not expecting a speed demon. What would y'all recommend?

    Playbouy Yachtsman 24 Restoration

    So, after having a season of being a boat owner under my belt, the admiral and I decided that the ski boat project we had undertaken was a bit more than we wanted to deal with, and really too small of a boat for us to be comfortable. We decided it was time for the toon life. So, we put an ad on...

    1975 Glastron V162 Futura "Refresh"

    So, I actually have 2 boat projects going on right now, but thought I would post up the "easy" one first. (Are any of them really easy?) Right around the beginning of the year, I was browsing Craigslist on my lunch break (the start of so many bad ideas), and saw an ad for a boat for trade. It...
