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...

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...

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’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 have a 1988 Evinrude 20hp, E20CRCCA. It hasn't been started in two years. I installed new plugs, replaced the lower unit grease and ordered a new water pump. I also installed a fuel/water separator. I'd like to start the motor this weekend to check it out before putting in the new water pump...

So, I haven't really played around with the wiring on the boat i picked up. The trolling motor works but the nav lights and bilge do not. I'm going to update the switch panel eventually but what is this piece for? What's the purpose? Is it a fuse? Junction? I don't know. :?: It reads...

So…this is probably a dumb question but why or is it necessary to have a breaker/fuse box? When I wired my last glass boat I installed a new switch panel and wired the nav lights, deck lights, fish finder, depth finder, bildge pump and stereo to the panel and the panel to the battery. The only...

I got a 1988 20hp Evinrude with the boat I recently picked up. I'm attempting to do the tune up myself once I figure out out to remove the lower unit. Anyhow, i'm thinking about installing a fuel/water separator from the gas tank to the outboard. Does anyone use these? Have you noticed it's...

I’m planning on putting in a temporary floor until I’ve decided on my final mod plan for my 16’ Alumacraft MV 1670 ( Probably next season if I can wait). So, I’ll get some untreated wood for the floor, treat/seal it and then I was thinking of putting on that bed liner stuff people are using to...

Hey everyone, I’m obviously a newbie around these parts. I have a few questions for you all. I have a 1985 16’ Alumacraft Mod V 1670. Looks almost identical to the 1648 model. My title says the model is ACB? Or ABC? Something like that. I couldn’t find too much about it. I have a few...
