I added a large livewell (15 gallon ish) under the front casting deck. Thus adding a lot of weight to the front of the boat. Now I have to...

    Identifying a Chrysler outboard

    Long story short I have a 16? aluminum boat with a 40 horse Chrysler outboard on it. Got it a week ago as a gift. Know nothing about outboard motors let alone Chrysler motors. My anxiety level is high to say the least. Was told they saw it run but there was a lot of white smoke and ran a...
