I'm looking for the correct emblem for a 1969 800 El. It's the one mounted on the cowl's retainer. As far as I can tell, it was used only on the '69 inlines. I believe, but not certain, :confused: it is a ribbed silver pentagon. Any information that could help me confirm this, would be very...
There's no point in fighting it.... November means, snow soon. At least here in New England.
Here's my rig for covering up my boat. I'll use Bungee cords to hold the tarp down. That way, I can still have easy access to the interior. Even if it gets cold I can still do the rigging. :p
One...

Anyone out there got a set of late 60's MFG seats? I'm looking for the Lounge seats.... Not to be confused with the Sun 'n fun seats. I know for sure, the '67 Thu '70 Edinboros all used the same setup.
Lastly, If you have a set that are installed or just cant part with, I sure could use some...
I am restoring an old boat. Originally, it didn't have a bilge pump. I was told, "The Coast Guard requires one on every boat regardless of it age" Is this true? Does the same rule apply to fresh water boats too? :confused:
Guys,
My '68 Edinboro's windshield has clear plastic in the center section. I think it's Plexiglas or Lexan. I do not know if it's original or not. I need to replace it with whatever was original. I'm thinking it may have been tempered Safety glass. Anyone out there with an Edinboro around the...

Hi Guys,
Just spent all winter rebuilding my '69 Merc 800. Got it into the test tank last weekend. I had some help with the "link and sync" from the mechanic in the photo. Started on the second turn of the key! :D:D
Ran it at idle on AV Low lead at 16 to 1 for about a half hour. Purrrrred. I...
As some of you guys know, I'm restoring a '68 MFG Edinboro. Well.... being convinced that I must have a vintage motor to go with it..... I decided to re-power her. I had a 50 horse Evinrude on it, And it was ok. But, My intent is to return it to "show room " condition.
I was able to determine...
Hi Guys,
As most of you know, owning an old boat can often be frustrating and fun at the same time.
Although I'm in the middle of my MFG restoration, it's been necessary to do a fair amount of research on it. I plan to bring it back to original.. With that said, I would like to invite all of you...
OK Guys,
I called this part a "rub rail" and was quickly corrected. I was told the rub rail is the rail around the boat at the deck line. Could someone PLEASE tell me what the real nautical term is? :confused:
Thanks,
Ed
Well, I finally got all my photos together and thought I'd try to put something together, so I could share it all with you.
First, a bit of history.........In the spring of 2007, my wife and I decided to get a small boat for our place on the lake. We had used my canoe and a rowboat for...
Hi Guys
I've spent the last several months rebuilding a Merc 80 for my '68 Edinboro. Now I've got my boat striped out and upside down getting ready to gelcoat her. I have a lot of photos of both projects and would like to post some of them here. Is there an easy way? I know I can use the iboat...
Guys,
The plastic "sock" that contains the insulation blanket on the inside of my wrap-around cover is coming off. Any ideas on what might be the best adhesive to reattach it ? Contact cement is flammable, epoxy doesn't stick well....... so I'm at a bit of a loss. What did the factory use...
