:shock: Wow! Nice fish. Was she staging toward the shallows or still hovering over structure in the deep?

Are you choking it to get it to restart after it cuts off? It's very unlikely related to the temp of the motor. If you're choking to get it started each time, the motor will run off the motor induced from the choke for a period of time, depending on the RPM's, but will not be able to keep...

I couldn't watch the video before because I was at work and they have it blocked! After seeing it, I'd bet on the carb kit fixing your problem. Even with new fuel, it would have a tendency to pick up old junk and moisture. If it were my motor, I wouldn't be able to resist starting it and...

The only reason I cut the side access was because I already had a 3/16" 12 x12" aluminum plate cut and it seemed like a waste to not use it, besides, with a 30HP on it, I want to ensure it's as secure as possible. I cut a 3" high x 13" wide panel off and have taken a long knife to cut the...

One other thing....you said you have new fuel......are you positive it isn't too oil-rich? I'm sure you're fine there, just had to ask.

A carb kit would be my first step. I know many say it isn't necessary, but I figure if I have it all apart, why not put the kit in it. I does sound like it's getting too much fuel. I've always worked on Evinrude, Johnson, and Suzuki so I'm not sure what your motor has, but when putting...

Ahhh....Good call on cutting a side access. I'm in the process of re-doing a 14' V-bottom and have been trying to figure out this whole bench/plywood/pedestal thing. Not wanting to remove the foam, I planned to attach bolts upward from the bottom of the plywood, through a piece of al. plate...

It was pressure treated "5/4"x6 decking boards. They were pretty dried up and appear to have been in there a while, but the boat stayed on the "beach" by the lake year-'round with the sun beating on it, so it's hard to say.

Sounds like you've gotten your answer, but I'll add to it...just in case. The 14' SmokerCraft Voyager I bought about a year and a half ago had decking boards in it. By 1 x 6, I'm assuming you're talking about the "5/4 boards" commonly used. I just pulled it all out because I'm putting in a...

Somewhat funny you cut them out and I'm getting ready to put something similar in. I finally got a chance to get started and decided against going with aluminum, mainly because of cost, but also because carpeted wood should be quieter and it's cheaper/easier to fix if I screw something up...

Hey ATB, I have the exact same boat! Same year, same color- the only thing different is mine is has a long-shaft transom. I see yours has a floor of some type already in it. Have you looked to see what it has for support under there? I'll be starting renovations on mine in about a week, so...
