    Converting a long shaft 1991 Evinrude E40TLESR to short shaft and tiller controls

    A buddy of mine just bought a well loved pontoon that has a decent running 1991 Evinrude 40hp (E40TLESR). This motor has remote controls and is a long shaft.

    New to Me Sun Tracker 24, A Question About Change Rooms

    Well, after looking around for a rebuild project pontoon, I have pulled the trigger on a 1984 Sun Tracker 24 Party Barge. Considering the boat was in the 'Junkyard" I am pretty happy with its overall condition. I was originally planning on stripping it down to the bare tubes and cross members...
