I ran my 1990 175 for 10 years on 50/1 mix when the vro went South. I don't remember for sure but I think I just unplugged the sensor wires on the pump, I am sure someone on here with a better memory than me can fill in the details.
My idea of the ideal deer now at my age is one that will drop where my drag will be short and downhill to my house or the truck depending on where I hunt.
Asking for a friend of mine? I do not believe it is a good idea but maybe someone on here may prove me wrong. It is a bassboat.
"While I'm beached I thought I'd recarpet the boat. Two years ago I replaced the deck and like an idiot, used the old carpet. Now its tighter than tight. Can't...
Agree, it is probably the live well. Many bass boats of that vintage did not have valves for the live well drain. If the drain inside the live well did not have a drain plug in there would be free communication between the live well and the lake level. As said find the live well and pour some...
I have found it quite common for the HIN and the state registration to be off like that. A boat hull could easily be laid up in 1982 and then sold by the dealer during the following calendar year and the year registration would show the boat as new in 1983. Also bare hulls that would be used...
Yep, a fun time but I noticed the aspeck used the collective term we. Actually I let him fish from the lucky side of the boat. He caught all the fish, I almost caught one but it was a sunken branch.

•Prior to Nov. 1,1972 there were no requirements for a “HIN” to be assigned to recreational boats. Manufacturers used mostly serial numbers. The serial number assigned to the vessel by the manufacturer was unique to that manufacturer, but had no prescribed format beyond that specific...
Maybe it is just the lighting or the color rendition of my computer screen but that axle appears to have been subject to high heat in the area of the inner bearing.
Unusual but not rare. Used to see that a couple of times a year back when I was working the lake. I do remember seeing a Ranger bassboat with a port side helm. The only Ranger I ever saw configured that way.
Depending on what state or province you are in be certain you have all the paperwork needed to show you are the owner of the boat. It could be a real shame to put hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars fixing it up and find you can not get it registered for use.
