Gary - I had a 1032 for only two days and sold it right away. I know you will be much more comfortable in that WIDE boat now !! do a google search on "suspending small boats from garage ceiling" you may find a solution for your concerns that way. Many canoes and yaks are stored hung from the...

this is a water pump housing from a vintage Johnson motor that came from "Up Nawth". I have experienced this issue with three individual motors. it was put away in the winter without really doing anything to it. water that had accumulated in the water pump basin froze and expanded thus...

on second hand machines - anything is possible !! depends on the previous owners location, their intentions, their abilities, etc. photos of the motor with and without the hood, good clear close up of the tag will help tremendously.

is that pressure treated plywood ???? .

Randy - I know literally zero about wiring . . . but, someone recently posted this article by West Marine that is very informative to just about everything electrical on a boat. hope it helps a little. https://www.westmarine.com/WestAdvisor/Marine-Wire-Terminal-Tech-Specs .

. there are a couple of "fixes" for the photobucket issues: Google Chrome is: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/photobucket%20fix FireFox is: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=photobucket+fix&appver=&platform=windows&hotlinkfix=1508479133669 I downloaded the one...

the "slam" is just a personal goal of the angler........ for me, a bucket full of fish is just fine - I call it DINNER ! for my wife, her Grand Slam would be a Gag Grouper, Red Bass, Snook and a Spotted Sea Trout. (for saltwater). for freshwater - it would be a bass, crappie and maybe a big blue...

I have never bought bulk spools. I don't troll with down or outriggers that require a lot of line anymore. somebody like Dale-H that does a lot of off-shore fishing does that. I prefer the Neon Yellow [when I can find it] for salt water. for fresh water, we usually fall into the 17# range of...

well, since I can't get out due to my recent "health issues", my wife went to her favorite fishing spot at the Jetties for some saltwater angling........ there are two piers and the North one has a webcam pointing over to the South Jetty so I can keep track of her on line on the South Jetty (spy...

tasthree - you have not mentioned what state you are in. does the boat, trailer or motor require any kind of registration to be on the public waterways ?? (just curious). inaccurate papers (or lack of) have caused a LOT of problems here on this forum. .

I just picked up a couple of spools of Berkley Big Game 20# Neon Green. so after a good cleaning, all the saltwater reels will get a new spool of line for the season. We get so many hangups on the rocks that some spools have an assortment of different weight sizes as well as braid/mono mixture...

I remember being in the saltwater environment in 1967. the Mercs were not highly thought of at that time. be investigative as to its past usage the best you can. don't judge it just by "how well it runs in the barrel". .

a bit technical - but you can benefit just from the basic fundamentals of working with aluminum. https://www.tinmantech.com/education/articles/aluminum-alloys-annealing.php .

I have a pretty good size "dent" - - - does that mean I have character too ??? .

remember this one from a couple of years ago ? .

good info !! thanks for sharing.

jtf - are you going to remove the hatch cover ? or just clean and weld in place. photos of your project would be helpful. if it is WeldWood Contact Cement, a heat source and scrapers would be my choice. if it is the general purpose carpet cement, hot boiling water or steam from a wall-paper...

welcome aboard, yokoref if you have read some of the past threads on this forum, you will see that photos of any concerns will get you the most accurate feedback. good quality photos are worth thousands of words, as the saying goes. even a photo of the tree growing inside the boat would have...

the Garboard deck drain is to prevent the accumulation of water in the boat while on the trailer during storage. the older boats have a scoop on the underside of the hull that sets up the Venturi Siphon if the plug is removed while the boat is underway - thus sucking out any water. for newer...
