    new to pontoons

    What should I do?

    I have an 87 eagle fish and ski 17 ft with a johnson 140. The transom has a crack and I am not not sure how to proceed. I tapped on the back of the transom and it seems solid every where else. I don't know if I should pull the motor off and the top of the boat so I can get to the transom. Or...

    removing from long storage

    I just picked up a 1987 eagle 371 thats been in dry storage for 3 years. It has a 140 hp on it. I know the gas is bad that is in it. I shoot some starting fluid into the air box to see if the motor was good and it tried to start. So how should I go about getting all the old gas out of the carbs...
