X2, Love it.

I haven't used a TM in a river but I would imagine with a 12'Jon you'd do ok with a 55#. You'll need to narrow it down to brand and model. I did a ton of research reviewing product reviews from cabelas and BPS. You should be able to get a feel on what to stay away from and what people are...

Good tip! Thanks Capt.

Cool. Thanks for the input muskiemike. That's what i was hoping but better ask to be safe. :D

So I took my boat out for the second time. The motor ran great up to a certain point. It sounded like it wanted to run but didn’t have the umph (how’s that for technical terms? :roll: ). I’d have the WOT and the boat moved at trolling speed. I lifted the motor out of the water and found a...

I’m doing research for flooring ideas. Though I love the look and feel of carpet I’m thinking of trying something new. I’ve re-carpeted 3 boats and really not looking for a 4th time around. I know some have used Durabak non-slip. How do you like it? How has it held up and has there been...

I've had two of those spider stands in my old glass boat. Loved them. Super stable and you can move them anywhere in the boat with in reason.

...and bookmarked. Thanks for sharing. :)

Yeah, that's kind of what i'm anticipating but I can't imagine it being a major fix. Though, i've never done anything like that either. I have a wet week ahead of me. Maybe the rain'll let up by the weekend so i can start round 2 of tinkering.

Finally finished the tune up on my motor and took it out for the first time yesterday. I clocked it at 23mph (24 with the wind to our backs :wink: ). I was very pleased. It may need a carb cleaning though. Once it got passed that initial few pulls to get started, it'll start right up on the...

Thanks to everyone and this site for all the advice. Got my motor up and running nice and smoothly with minor hiccups. First time doing a tune up myself. Nice to save a bit a change…or a couple hundred for that matter. :D Here's a couple sec vid of the motor...

Good job Bigwave =D> Finished up with my motor over the weekend as well. Nice to save a couple hundred doing it youself

Looks like the same exact design as my evinrude. I did the same thing last weekend. The little plastic piece was a pain in the butt to get off (it was my first time). I have to take it apart again tomorrow. The pisser wasn't working and there's no clog. I think the copper water pipe didn't...

Contacted Evinrude through their forum, they said it's ok :)

I installed a water pump in my 1988 20hp E20CRCCA this weekend. According to the instructions the impeller housing spacer should have been installed with the tabs “facing forward”. The picture in the diagram wasn’t clear but almost seem the tabs on the spacer were facing opposite the propeller...

I was thinking of picking this up...would this work? The permatex water pump silicone gasket? https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_water-pump-and-thermostat-rtv-silicone-gasket-(-5-oz)-permatex_7160009-p?searchTerm=permatex+gasket

I’m replacing the water pump in my 1988 Evinrude 20HP (E20CRCCA). The water pump kit came yesterday and I was reading the instructions last night. Saw that I need BMCA Adhesive P/N 318535 for the impeller housing seal and BMCA Gasket Sealing Compound P/N 317201 for the gearcase surface (not...

I fully intend to re-wire the entire boat. Is something like this overkill/necessary https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00514XIO0/ref=s9_simh_gw_p236_d5_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=14Y5CTE217NHZ2E8T4RY&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846 or stick with the same...

Yeah, it was the perfect height for where i wanted to mount it. Score!

Finally hooked up this weekend. Didn't get to try it out yet.
