    Mercury 18 XD carb

    I just bought a Mercury 18 XD that wasn't running. I took the carb off to clean it and the butterfly is missing. If anyone has a carb, I would sure be interested in buying it.

    Transducer

    Im looking for a transducer for a Eagle Cuda fish finder. The plug has both the transducer and power wire in one plug. I bought a couple of used finders and one of them didnt come with a transducer. So if any one has a transducer that the head unit went bad let me know please.

    16' Ouachita Mod by 3 guys with some beer

    When I did mine I carpeted the decks and then just screwed the decks down with small headed screws. They hide in the carpet when they sink down. Just fluff the carpet with your hand and you cant see them anymore.

    my new 16 ft. Monark project

    How much boat is behind the trailer now? If its not over three feet I would run the metal on the trailer all the way back. Then move your guides back to there. Its early and I cant remember if you said there was an outboard but if there is it needs to be riding on trailer. I run a transom saver...

    my new 16 ft. Monark project

    I would add some to the rear of the trailer. I looks like there is only a foot or so behind the axle. The more you add to the tongue the more tongue weight you get. If you deck the front that will be a concern. Its an awsome tin.

    I quit November 8th of last year. I have actually lost weight because when I would eat something I wanted to smoke. So I would rather skip the snacks than fight that huge craveing. So far so good. I went the the DFA today and that was the worst craveing Ive had since the first month. Is every...

    1984 Rhyan Craft Update

    Man as sharp as that boat is you have to do it clean and right. Everything looks awsome. You dont want some gaudy throwed together deck in it.
