I am converting my 2005 F25 tiller to remote and ran into an unexpected problem. Since I am on a budget I have been finding parts where I can for as cheap as I can. I got a great deal on a used 704 binnacle from ebay which I hooked up for the first time today. Problem is I don't know how to...

I have a 2005 Yamaha F25 4 stroke with a chewed up prop that needs to be replaced. The current prop is 9 7/8 x 10 1/2 and I am wondering if I should increase the pitch a bit. Considering a 11 1/4 of 12 inch pitch prop. My boat is a 16' Lund, I am guessing that total weight including me and the...

Do they make it and if so where can I get it? I have heard that the stuff at HD for your house acts like a sponge. I just want to use it to insulate around the drain in my homemade cooler, not looking to do a large area.

Hi all, I am getting near the end of my mod and have found a bit of an issue. I have decked over the back of my boat and I had a hell of a time trying to lift my engine with the new set up. It wasn't easy when I had a floor back there but its harder now. I have seen that handle that BPS and...

Hi all, I am looking for opinions on rustoleum self etching primer from those who have used it on bare aluminum. I would like to use on the exterior of my tin. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, great site! I love checking out all the projects! I have had my boat for over 13 years and I love it. It had developed quite a few leaks from the pounding I have given it fishing around Martha's Vineyard and I was thinking that its days were numbered. I found this site and decided to...
