That rates right up there with those who sell items that Harbor Freight gives away for free.

Everything has a perfectly logical explanation. He's probably just taping up some loose or corroded rivets so they don't get sucked into the engine mid flight. :ROFLMAO:

What ever happened to boatinfo.no? They had just about every outboard manual posted there for years then it suddenly comes up as a dead site. It and two others with free info ceased to exist only recently. The exact link to the site was http://boatinfo.no/lib/library.html but I see its dead...

You have two options and neither one if really good. FIrst, is like others have said, just put a new tip on what remains of the rod and deal with the loss of tip action, or make a ferrule and reattach the broken tip. The latter will no doubt result in just as bad a reduction in the rods action...

I have the same motor here, it pumps water almost right away. I just had it out and started it after a long sit. When I first bought mine, it had sat for a number of years and both the telltale tube and the thermostat were clogged up pretty bad. The last owner used it in shallow water and the...

I had an 80's Bass Tracker that was badly corroded along both sides where it sat on the bunks. The former owner used it for crabbing and it sat on salt soaked bunk carpet full time. After replacing the bunks and carpet, I scrubbed the hull to get a better look and decided the only way to get the...

Around here they may have stopped polluting the water these days but the damage was done way back in the 50's and 60's and its permanent. There's been talk about draining one lake and dredging and hauling away all the bottom material but they actually tried and started that project once before...

I got my first Mirrocraft the same way, a 20 year old guy had inherited it and wanted nothing to do with it. It was his dad's boat and his dad had passed away. He wanted nothing to do with it so I bought a freshly painted 16 foot boat with a 2 year old trailer, and perfect running motor with all...

Somewhere over the years one of my outboards had a warning about towing in neutral at 'extended highway speeds'. I rarely two over 40 mph and I've watched my prop and it either doesn't turn at all or barely spins. The trailer blocks any direct wind to the prop. My one thought is that if the...

I had a 14ft Grumman that the former owner used for crabbing, he had those stainless slotted holders all over the boat, some had single rod tubes, a few had triple rod tubes and there was also a buoy holder that slid into them, all with the same wedge shaped base to fit those brackets. I...

This is the post that really got me to sign up here after a dozen or so years of reading. These are by far some of my favorite aluminum boat hulls and by far the most trouble free over time. I've got the more common 16ft version of your boat, mine measures 16ft and 2in long and 6ft wide on the...

WD40 works well on decal glue. I removed all the decals on a used van I bought and had a ton of glue leftover that had been on there for 20 years, I soaked a few strips of cloth, then taped them in place and after a few minute soak, I removed the glue with some more WD40 on a rag. It went...

I found this article online when working on my '63 3hp, Johnson J series I got mine, (a JW18), to idle just over 500 rpm, and it'll max out in the tank at 4150, but on the lake 3,991 is its top rpm. Mine is a low hours original motor that was handed down to me by a relative who bought it new...
