    I assume as a new boat owner that I will make mistakes and damage it.

    Keel guard length

    Hi, I have a 1994 17' Challenger Radical One and want to install a keel guard. As I never have had this boat in the water yet, I don't know where the water line sits. The Megaware KeelGuard lists 6' as the length for up to 18' but some reviews mention getting longer. I placed some painters tape...

    Repair before installing Keelguard?

    Hi, Being this is my first boat, I wanted to ensure I don't cut corners. I have no idea if the gelcoat should be repaired before installing a keel guard. It appears that a previous owner did apply *something* to the area. Should I apply a material like the Marine Coat One Patch Paste Gel Coat...

    Battery placement and drilling question - 94 bass boat

    Hi, I have a '94 challenger bass boat that I am re-writing as it was an absolute wreck when I bought it. There are two deep cycle batteries for the trolling motor and I switched the third out (engine + electronics) with a lithium I had from my kayak. Do the batteries weigh enough that I can't...

    Thank you, I have some work to do before spring! Apparently the motor only has 100 hours on it, I would love to assume it has been rebuilt but I am going to put a new water pump impeller, rebuild fuel pump, etc. Thank you!

    Thank you! I will be investing the next few months getting up to speed on the motor (running and maintaining) before spring. Any suggestions on where I should start? I'm used to V8s in cars.

    I really need to replace that Royal Purple banner, you couldn't pay me enough to run it now. Boat details: New - tires - batteries - 70 lb trolling motor (24v) The only item not working is the speedometer. I will be removing the existing down/side unit and using the Lowrance 9" from my kayak...

    118-119 psi on all 4 cylinders cold, I ended up buying it, the boat was in amazing shape. Thanks everyone!

    TC-W3 oil is much cheaper, thanks! What should I be targeting? 120psi across all 4 holes with a 10% variation?

    100% - I plan on running it to warm it up and then performing a hot compression test to ensure the cylinders are all within 10 psi of each other and ideally over 90 psi (or should this be higher?) Thank you! What OEM sauces do you run? I found XD50 and that ended up costing more than Amsoil...

    Info on Evinrude 115 E115TLETS

    I'm looking at a bass boat with an 1993 (I assume as that is the year that comes up when I search for the model number) Evinrude 115 E115TLETS motor and I attempted to search online but couldn't find much out about it. I have the following questions: - is there a model name? - is this an E-TEC...
