    Extending Shorestation

    I have an older steel shorestation 7ft wide 2800lbs. I've just finished scraping and priming it, and decided I want to really use it for my pontoon instead. But for that, I need it to be 9ft wide rather than 7ft.<br /><br />So it appears that the 4 main 2inch pipes can unbolt (although the...

    Paint for LIft / Pier

    I recently picked up an old steel shorestation lift. Only about 20% paint coverage below the waterline after pressure washing and wire brushing (and chipping away the metal flakes.)<br /><br />When all is said and done, other than pitting which I can live with, doesn't look to bad.<br /><br />I...

    Aqua Meter Tach to Rude 90

    Well, NAPA is closed for the day, so on to another 'project...'<br /><br />My sister's tri-hull now sports what appears to be a circa 1990 Rude 90HP. There was previously a Chrysler 85 that had 'sat too long' on the boat, and had seized up.<br /><br />The Chrysler had a tach made by Aqua Meter...

    J SuperSeahorse 33EL'69 - solenoid

    The owners manual with my 69 33HP Electric S.S. doesn't specify what solenoid is correct. It has 4 posts, (from back to front) main in on the right, starter on the left, and the two center posts appear to be the 'switch.' <br /><br />The main post is stripped (built up with washers) but the...

    J late 60's 33 Electric lower unit

    I've tried a search on this, and read lots of posts, but still have some questions...<br /><br />My circa 69 Johnson Seahorse 33 Electric had water in the lower unit when I bought it. I changed/filled the unit twice over the summer due to what appears to be a bad seal behind the prop. (Engine is...

    Fuel in exhaust

    I've recently decarboned my 69 Johnson SeaHorse, new plugs, checked gaps, etc. She's running fine on both cyls (I can unplug either and she keeps running). But I am throwing off a LOT of pollution into the water. My gas consumption is up, but not horrifically. I don't think I can lean out any...

    Pontoon Deck Reccomendations

    I need to replace the deck on the 28ft pontoon I just bought. I have Menards and Home Depot in my area (SE Wisconsin), and my guess is that someone will tell me to go there and special order 3/4" marine grade plywood (4 sheets). Is there a better way to go about this? Is there a fiberglass or...

    Prop Help

    The prop on my 69 Seahorse 33e is pretty chewed up. (Mounted on a 24 ft old pontoon.) I'd like to replace it, so I went to Overton's and looked at props. Unfortunately, I don't know what I'm looking for. (Size, shaft, pitch, etc.)<br /><br />There are lots of rocks in the river where I live, and...

    69 Johnson Seahorse 33 Electric - plug reccomendations

    I tried searching on Seahorse, and didn't see this addressed in the 200+ posts. :p <br /><br />I acquired a 69 Seahorse 33 over the weekend. It was running rough during test drive, so I pulled the plugs to take a look. The bottom plug was loose. Neither was *significantly* fouled, but didn't...

    Weirdness. I posted a while back I needed to find a coil for my Ted Williams. ScottGuy sold me coils. BUT...<br /><br />Low hour (less than 20) '69 Sears Ted Williams, mfd by Scott/McC.

    68 Sears Ted Williams/Scott 14HP Pick-up coil?

    My apologies for not posting my S/N or model # (yet). I don't have access to the motor, but wanted to get the thread up ASAP.<br /><br />I have a Sears/Ted Williams 14HP that will not start. Took it to dealer in Minocqua WI in 1997 for repair, was told I had blown the pickup coil and they were...
