    Riptide 55lb. or 70lb.

    Sup fellers, I am going to invest in a Riptide bow mount troller with co-pilot. I have a 16' aluminum Starcraft, from the 80's. My towing weight is a concern, as well as finances. Everyone on here always says get the most motor you can pay for, but I don't think I want to have a 24volt system up...

    Should I put my gas tank.....there?

    Sup guys as some of y'all know I am pulling floors and transom off my '86 16' Starcraft. Now I was going to see if I could rig up a belly gas tank for the center of the boat below deck.

Right now I have a Merc 650 form '67 that runs great but I am always paranoid when I head more than a mile away from the dock.

    '67 Merc 650 sputters when hitting choke

    So guys just wired up my new choke and key switch. I was very careful to keep all wire ends from shorting on each other. Choke works great, key switch works well. I was jiggling things around before I tightened up the box and evertything was fine. If I turn the motor off and hit the choke button...

    Side Imaging Transducer Options. Thru-Hull or Transom Mount?

    Hey guys I am soon to be purchasing a Humminbird 998c si. I was looking at the transom and the skeg is going to be in the way of the ducer if I mount it on the transom. These SI ducers need a full 180 degrees of clearance or you will have an obstruction in your view. Have any of you guys mounted...

    Another Evinrude 4hp longshaft to my collection!!

    Picked up the motor on the right for $50!! One on the left is a '70, on the right is a '74. It crazy how many of these longshafts I find around here. It runs perfectly, and just needed a choke knob (which I had on hand). Kinda cool how they changed the lower unit setup in '74. The prop became...

    Mercontrol electric choke is being intermittent.

    Going on vacation this coming weekend and bringin the old boat. Just figured I'd check and make sure all was well. Went to fire her up and the choke button did nothing. It would work some of the time and not others. I checked for 12v at the choke solenoid and NADA. Wiggled the wires around when...
