    Using RTV sealant on a suction cup to adhere better to my fiberglass transom

    Long story short...I got a Lowrance X-4Pro fish/depth finder for my birthday, don't want to cut out part of the hull to do a shoot-thru-hull setup but I also don't want to drill into the transom for the external transducer mount... I purchased some large suction cups from Academy, these exact...

    Using Duplicolor spray can paint on your boat

    My old fiberglass bass boat is dull but the paint is still good, just super hazed and bleached from the sun. I was thinking about using some Duplicolor Clear in a spray paint can that I used to clear my smoked out tail lights on my truck...they have been going strong for almost 3 years now with...

    Starter nut on top of the shaft that keeps the spring retainer and bendix in place

    The nut on top of my brand new starter popped off while I was crappie fishing this weekend and caused the bendix to grind on my fly wheel...I have a new bendix gear, spring, retainer and nut and plan to rebuild it tonight..... Do I tighten the nut as tight as I can so that this doesn't happen...

    NOOB BOATER HERE...1981 Johnson 90hp running weird...

    Let me begin by saying that I have been trying to search these threads to see if the answer to my question exists, and no luck thus far. My boat at WOT was having a problem-it would choke out and go from 4-5k rpm to 2100 rpm and when you let off the throttle a little bit, it dies. It was doing...

    Need Some Experienced Thoughts on a Johnson 90

    My question is: can spark plugs go bad from just sitting? And could the carb need to be cleaned even though it was link & sync'd right before it sat? Compression is 117 psi on all four pistons and replaced fuel line. Carb was link and sync'd and plugs changed 4-5 years ago used twice and then...
