    Did I install this Minn Kota correctly?

    http://imgur.com/nVuWjgg&JKz1WPy&wbRnt8T&pvcnoAb&r6UWLOe&LGAUXuh#0 Did I not install this right. It is stopping at an angle instead of straight up and down. It does not look like I need to move the unit up the bow anymore than it already is. Is it suppose to be at an angle like this?

    I have a 13' v hull aluminum boat and would like to put a hammock on it.

    Would this be possible by just bolting to steel rods (making them removable) to the front and back? Would the center of gravity be thrown off as it would swing with the waves?

    old evenrude won't go in gear.

    So it was working fine. I started the motor started to give it gas and it basically went forward and then popped out of gear. Now it will not move forward or reverse. Just stays in neutral. I cannot figure it out. I can't really find the issue I'm having in the manual either. It's a 85ish year...

    ok I have a 1964 Evinrude 18hp. It ran great. Only problem was the cooling system was not working right.
