    Do I need a trailer?

    I'm thinking I'm going to buy a 12ft aluminum boat and small motor this spring, second hand. Most don't come with trailer, and I'm wondering if I need one. Seems I could put a boat that size in the back of my pickup by myself, maybe with the help of a winch attached to the back rack in the truck...

    Vinyl Wrap

    Anybody ever use this? My gelcoat has an orange peel effect and I'm thinking about vinyl wrap rather then trying to sand and buff. Also would like a different color then the current gelcoat color.

    towing - engine in neutral?

    My brother told me that he was told when he bought a small OB motor that it should always be in neutral when on a boat being towed. The reason being that the wind would make the prop spin and thus turn over the engine and possibly do damage. I often forget to put my 90hp OB in neutral after...

    Panther outboard bracket

    Did anyone else find the spring tension in these is way too much? Even with a 9.9 4 stroke on the bracket i couldn't lower the motor against the springs. I eventually had to remove the lower spring and only then could i get it to move!

    aluminum wheels stuck to hub

    I had a flat yesterday on an old dirt road. The rear tire an my f150. The tire was very hard to get off. I eventually had to get a big rock and repeatedly beat it against the rim. This tire had been on there for a few years. I know people put grease on there when changing tires, as do I, but you...

    Ice Fishing

    Anybody out on the ice this year? Season opens here Feb 1, can't wait. We had a fair bit of cold lately so there seems to be a decent amount of ice for a change. Only problem is we are forecast to have a snow storm today so getting to my fishing spots might be a challenge on the ATV.

    Short shaft kicker?

    I have found a 12 ft aluminum boat with aluminum trailer and a 2021 yamaha f9.9 short shaft motor for sale for $5000. That seems like a very good price and I wanted a small boat for fresh water fishing. I was hoping the outboard would double as a kicker for my larger boat pictured below. I would...

    Fogging f90 efi

    Just wondering the best method to fog the above motor without taking out spark plugs. Spray oil into air intake while running? Would running some gas thru mixed with 2 stroke oil mixed in do the same or even better?

    Brake fluid

    Just curious, but I have read that dot4 brake fluid has a higher boiling point and thus helps prevent the fluid turning to steam in the lines and then compressing causing lose of braking. Is this right? Which leads to my question...how can a given volume of any liquid evaporate and then be...
