    Rub rail insert

    I need to replace the rub rail inserts on my boat cause I’m missing the back couple feet and some spots have some cracks. I’m struggling to find the same profile for mine. Realistically it would be easiest to replace the whole rub rail and insert with a newer design but the cost is tough to...

    Prime and Paint Aluminum Boat

    I’m at the point where I’m ready to put some fresh colour onto my aluminum boat. I’ve read through almost every thread regarding painting aluminum with lots of notes taken but I have a few additional questions that haven’t been answered. Currently the boat has 99% of the existing paint on it, a...

    Livewell design

    I'm currently building an aluminum livewell to add into my boat, i'm going through what fittings i would all need and exploring my options. There is the standard design (#1) with a thru-hull at the transom for fill and drain. This seems to be pretty common in the livewell plumbing systems i've...

    Fuel Tank Fill&Vent

    I've got a 15 gallon in floor fuel tank for my 18' aluminum boat and i am redoing the fuel lines. Previously it had one line from the fill cap to the fill port on the tank, one line from the vent out the side of the hull to the vent port on tank, and the fuel to motor port. Would this Perko fuel...

    Lowrance LCX-112C

    I’ve got a lowrance unit, new to me, it’s got a chip in it that displays the mapping feature perfectly and the depths and contours align almost perfectly despite being older technology. The transducer I had was having some serious issues and whether I set it to 50 or 200 kHz would never pick up...

    12V battery system - adding ACR

    I am looking into adding an ACR or an 1/2/B switch to my current electrical system. I've been reading lots into the BlueSea ACR system and the ease of installation and reliability behind it. I've also seen how a make-before-break 1/2/B switch can do the same job, with the risk of forgetting to...

    1980 E100 motor issues

    I've got a 1980 E100TLCSC, I recently swapped the stator from an '86 E110 onto it as the initial one had some cracks showing and the 110 looked to be in great condition. I also put the water cooled regulated rectifier on since my previous regulator had gone bad and the rectifier alone sends too...

    Rectifier/Regulator

    I'm looking at installing a new rectifier regulator onto my E100TLCSC, it came with an air cooled rectifier and air cooled regulator, both separate units. The standalone regulator seems to be difficult to find, whereas rectifier/regulator units are much more available. My motor has the port for...

    E100TLCSC

    The previous owner didnt have the rectifier wired properly. So I opted to purchase a new rectifier and install it properly per the manual. Upon running the motor with a multimeter hooked up to the battery I instantly noticed a voltage increase. It got up to 15.1 volts and I shut down the motor...

    I'm having some issues with my 1980 100hp evinrude (E100TLCSC) and keep dropping a cylinder, i have yet to confirm which cylinder is it but i suspect it is my No.3 cylinder as the coil is showing signs of the yellow glue melting down the side a bit and the wire to the plug has a crack with...
