Interesting thread, at the camp in ADK subscribers passed, other service became available a few years ago, ripped-out dish and lines just last year. To the transfer station they went (hopefully no bears were harmed). Now to go up on the woodshed and rip that dish out before it causes trouble...

You've come to a great place for help on this. The people here are knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful. I think a few pics - whole boat, then closer to your specific question area - will help you get help. There is information in this forum about posting pics. Maybe in the sticky's?

maybe post a few pics - far to closer - of the water where you don't want it

good song, haven't seen the vid. interesting boat - this is one (twice)

suggest you make sure you have paperwork you need in your area, and the hull is sound ( more $$?) before deciding if engine and other mechanicals are worth it, for you, to put $$ into

and the kayak only has room for one person

maybe you've already been thru this, but before more $ and time into propulsion, are you confident the boat's hull structure is sound, and safe to be out on the water? There's a lot of good info on this site about that.

did the timing get thrown-off? all the coughing and short run time seem to suggest that (I am no expert on your kinda engine)

good to hear you're all good on this regarding your most-recent post on pipe bursting and PSI rating - typically if a thermoplastic pipe material has a higher burst rating, it is usually thicker pipe, and that may affect your heat transfer

Good morning - cool boat! I certainly am not in your shoes, but I think I would be thinking the same as you are. You are already getting some good input from the good folks here. Yep, get the paperwork figured-out first, then if youre gonna get it ready to take out, think about safety for your...

oh that all looks so good - can't wait for lunch!

Apologies for delayed reply - those are fluid hydraulics (engineering) terms After reading thru all this after my original reply, looks like you are getting what is likely more practical info - for you (and me too, learning every day is good) to answer your question Total head = (static...

way to stick with it - inspiring on many fronts!

we've dealt with this for many years, have a few solutions (including operational considerations (no cost)) - as I'm sure many do one thing we've used (small boat, small outboard), about $30 at a certain online retailer that starts with A difficult to tell what you're working with, maybe post...

is it causing you a problem as-is? if so, maybe just take it off as you're thinking

agreed it also looks like there's some black electrical tape in your engine compartment - that flakes apart at some point too

I think same here in NYS, never seen any lights - but it seems to be OK to have young kids only in there, must not be any rules on that (since it's not a "motor vehicle"?)

Yes, almost anything is possible when a significant weight re-distribution mod is considered by an overturning analysis, don't forget windage

many considerations to answer the first question, maybe post a few photos to start getting input. Has it been in the water? salt/fresh? will it be slipped? what seas? Extent of corrosion of the logs, and what are they? not sure what drawings and manuals might include - but they might not...

I've heard of gummed-up fuel lines, etc on older 2 and 4 stroke engines. I have not seen that, and on a few old 2 strokes we have, we run the E10 fuel and drain fuel system in off-season after running some fuel stabilizer through it, have not had a problem with the fuel yet (but we keep a close...
