    1972 Ranger 16' Restoration

    Look’s like you have your work cut out for you. I am almost finished with the restoration of my 72’ Ranger. See pics below. Luckily the hull and transom were in good shape on my boat. Mine came with a 75 hp Johnson. I didn’t want to mess with the motor (scarce parts and hard to find someone...

    1972 Ranger Bass Boat

    I bought this beauty about 6 months ago for $500. (Boat/motor/trailer). It had been sitting underneath a tree for the last 10 years. I took a huge gamble but the old girl turned out to be a solid boat and cleaned up pretty good. It’s still a work in progress but I’ve included a few pics of...

    1972 Ranger Bass Boat

    I just bought a 1972 Ranger Bass Boat for restoration. The boat is in really good shape considering the age. Question: Does anyone know the max HP rating for this boat, and what might be a good choice for a replacement motor. I don't know the model number, but she is very similar to the...

    Tilt & trin / 2010 Yamaha 60hp 4 stroke

    I have a 2010 G3 pontoon with a 60 hp 4 stroke motor with less than 50 hours on the motor. Today the motor got stuck in the raised position, and will not go up or down. Is there a manual release on the motor, and, or is this something I can fix myself? Thanks, L.Cole

    Wiring problem

    I recently read a post by Don S on how to test voltage to the helm. I must say that it was the most informative and straight forward solution I've seen. Even a dummy like me can understand it. I have a simular problem. Sometimes the fish finder will work, sometimes it won't. Ditto for the nav...

    Speedo does not work

    Evidently the Pitot tube (if in fact that is the type of speedo I have), is located in the lower end of of my Yahama 90 hp outboard, because the speedo stopped working the day I backed into a stump and bent the prop... How do I locate this tube in order to repair it? I mainly use the RPM...
