    I've posted my problem before and nothing worked. I have a 40 HP Honda that has very limited choices in props. I both a 4 blade that Michigan Prop recommended that drove my RPMs fro 4500 to 4000. So I took it back off and went with the one I've had. Well I dragged bottom today and one blade bent...

    New captains chair installed today

    All season I have known my chair was on its way out. A couple of weeks ago it said to me I'm done. Fix me or I'll break your back when you fall. So being and Upholsterer I took it off the boat to repair it. I was hoping it was the rotted plywood base. But when I got it apart I found the back...

    Structural question

    I have had this issue all along on my pontoon. I'd like to correct it and have an idea I want to throw out there. In picture one I have drawn a circle where I'm think of cutting. Do any of you think it will weaken the structure? It is hard to tell in image 1 the size of the hole but in image...

    My Honda 2006 40 hp OB trim/tilt gauge stopped working this year. When I turn the key it does make the slightest jump but the gauge doesn't work when trimming. It did before. Where to start?

    Blocking a pontoon

    I know I've read here on how to block a pontoon boat using the trailer as a jack. And I think I remember how. I need to repaint the logs as the paint didn't hold up well and blocking it seems like the best way to get all of the logs. I'm looking for a way to do this without having to buy blocks...

    New Sterio

    Installed a new stereo today on the toon. The old cassette deck just didn't make it anymore. Worked fine but was pretty limiting. I didn't do one of those head banger systems or anything just a CD player with FM and aux port for my phone. Two more speakers. Sounds great.

    Yankee Girl is changing color

    Took me 6 + 4 Hours to get the old stripping off along with the adhesive left behind. And I have one side of the main color done in Red vinyl. Looks very good. The high gloss of the vinyl shows every ding, bump and mark on the aluminum fence but unless it's in your face it looks great. It would...

    Pontoon trailer and tires

    I have an 18' toon and the trailer has these tiny wheels under the frame. I do not feel like its the type of trailer I would take on a long haul. I don't know what you call this type of trailer but wonder if there is anything I could do to put more rubber on the road. It's a continental trailer.
