What Alumarine said is correct. The alternator is driven by magnets inside the flywheel and pick up coils. This will keep your battery charged under normal operation but if you plan on running the trolling motor a lot more than the gas motor you may run the battery down. I am just guessing...
That is an OMC outdrive probably powered by a 153 ci GM 4 cylinder the same as used in the old Chevy II's. Before you sink another dollar in it get the manual for that drive system and do some basic trouble shooting as you will find many parts are NLA. I know someone will correct me if I am...
Did find a hit for Lane Industries in Saskatoon, SK where there is a picture of their plant where they made fiberglass boats. As other poster have said there were many makers of boats that are now out of business. Here is a listing of 11,700 of them...
Besides boat, guns, and guitars I also waste what little time and money I have left with old Bolens tractors.
Here are the specs on the tractor that used that motor. I found a large compactor with that motor about 20 years and sold the motor and scrapped the rest and for once actually made a...
There should be hydraulic pumps available for that motor as it was used in some light duty tractors. A 3 position valve and a hydraulic motor on your prop shaft.
A picture would help. Is it a jonboat or a v-hull? I have an 35 year old Crestliner 14' V-hull that is rated for 35hp and 980# total load. Yours may vary a lot depending on the dimensions of the boat, mostly in the beam, transom height, and hull design.
If you mean which wire feeds the signal the standard color codes specify that the wire should be gray. It also requires a positive 12v power feed usually from the ignition switch (Either red or red/purple) and a black negative ground. Yours may vary depending on the age of the boat and/or if...
If that is the new prop on the right it is obvious that it is mismarked. Here is a quick way to measure pitch.
The video makes it look more complicated than it really is;
It is what you trained with until it becomes instinctive. I worked with a fellow for a couple of years who was a retired federal officer who's uniform was suit and tie. He was as slick as you know what on a hot tar road with a shoulder rig when we used to practice for fun. He was just as good...
Same here. If I would have trained for years with one I may be more comfortable but I never liked the cross draw and the muzzle aime towards my support arm. When you are used to drawing and moving your support arm up to either push off if needed or support you gun hand at the same time it is a...
What are the ramps like where you launch? Look around next time you are there and see if others are putting in boats of that size without difficulty. Agree that a 3/4 ton pickup would fill your needs preferably 4wd. That slip rental may seem pretty reasonable once you find out the price and...
If you can find the serial number look up 43113T fuel pump. That pump was used on lots of Mercs and Mariners around the age of yours. Many sites will tell you if it is the one for your motor if you have the year and/or the serial number. Will take a little computer time if there is not a...
Does the motor have a separate fuel tank and hose? If so I would suspect that the little duckbill fuel pump bladder which is in the carb has probably disintegrated by now. A common problem but new ones are available.
If you are boating in waters where flares are required they are valid for four years from date of manufacture. Basically if it is more than three boating seasons your current flares are no legal. From what I found on the internet only one company makes a USCG approved flare...
Maybe this should be in the trailer towing section but a good example of what happens without enough tongue weight.

Just looked close at th4 capacity plate again. It reads that it is a replacement for the original with owner supplied information. So I guess that we are looking for pre 1972.
