Guys, Glad to be back even though I am boatless at the moment. I always look for deals in the area to get me back into some fishing/boating, and stumbled upon one. I have a line on a 2009 Tohatsu 9.8 Four Stroke... what should I know about these motors? Anything to look for? What is a good...

Looking for a butt/pedestal seat with adjustable pedestal, as shown here: https://www.basspro.com/SwivlEze%C2%AE-Wedge-Power-Pedestal/product/52436/-1014863 the 24"-30" one. I found one on craigslist, but the guy won't get back to me, so I need to keep looking. Butt seat can be a combo of...

Where can i get the red circled part? The screw/pin is cross threaded and I cannot adjust the height. Any links? TIA.

Does this sound like carb problems? "Yamaha 9.9 runs fairly well, but does have some problems 1) Engine speed fluctuates after running for 20-30 minutes 2) Motor will often stall if trying to maintain a very slow speed, such as within a marina 3) Smokes from under the engine cover when first...

Pretty straight forward - is it hard to do? Do I need anything but the replacement rope - ie a spring? I have read it isn't too hard to do, but do I need a manual? In addition, how do you measure compression on the motor without the cord? I could get the motor for $150, and it would be a great...

I noticed that there was very little water coming out of my tell tale today while running my motor. I just bought the boat and motor, and this was the first time out. Rather than take the previous owner's word for it is good, I want to change out the water pump and impeller on this thing before...

I am going to check the local Sears store tomorrow for my tires tomorrow, but was wondering if anyone knew of a place I could get ST205/75D-14 tires cheaper than $125, such as they have at Northern Tool and Sears online. I noticed the tires have the smallest hint of dry rot, so I might as well...

After I installed the new batteries in my boat, I went ahead to tackle the non-working bilge pump and aerator switches. I pulled out the fuse panel and quickly noticed that there were two missing fuses. I ran and got a fuse I had laying around and started playing around. In short, I could use...

Before I go and buy tackle storage, I am curious as to where you all purchase your boxes? I am thinking of going to garage sales/flea markets and seeing if I can find any, to start. Any place online you all use? I just purchased a big lot of stuff and have no storage, ha.

I am going to look at a 1997 18 foot v hull, powered by a 1997 75 HP Mariner. The guy said the motor runs really well, only used it in the bay (salt) and flushed. He is prepping the motor for me before I go to look. Is there anything I should know about these motors? Are parts available? Is it...

Just a quick question although I haven't been around in a while. Went to a garage sale, saw a really nice looking Johnson, guy wants $100 for it. Seems to have compression, can't test it. Says he has the owners manual, tank, etc. Worth the buy? I figure I could sell it for parts for more than...

Decided to head out with my brother around 2pm to Potash/Pompton Lake, NJ just to enjoy the weather and the fishing. Everything started out great, a couple of dinks and dunks and a nice LMB. We were cruising around, really just taking it all in. I decided to show my brother a really nice house...

I would like to upgrade my bow mount bracket from wood (made last year) to aluminum. Below is a picture or two of boats with them in there - and I have seen some people here fabricate them. I have some diamond plate, but can't weld, so I think that's out of the question. Does a company sell...

After breakfast my girlfriend and I hit the lake. Spent about 2.5 hours fishing a few spots along the shoreline, just trolling and having a good time. Caught 4 crappie and a LMB, LDR another one. The small LMB was bleeding a bit, but nothing to serious I hope. One crappie was a decent size, but...

Will this steering wheel work with this steering system? Is there another system better than this for the money...

I bought the trailer, seems to ride fine, I am leaning on just leaving it. I realize the tires will wear a bit differently, but I think this will get me by for a couple years? Any advice on taking off rusty bolts? I am thinking of going to Harbor Freight tomorrow and getting a die grinder and a...

NNJ, PM me with price, specs and pics. Thanks for looking.

So I am set up for stick steering and I really like it, but in my setup it actually takes up more room than a side console would. I am going to build a side console so I have a few questions I am sure you guys could help me with: 1. How much will this cost? 2. What exactly do I need to set...

Does anyone know where I can get a battery charger manual for a Guest On Board 2611-1-B model? I actually don't need it other than to know what the lights mean. I have a feeling something is a bit strange, because I was testing all my electrical yesterday and then I went to charge it when I was...

As the title says, I absolutely love stick steering. I like sitting in the middle of the boat, and not having to move toward the back, and quickly hop up on the platform for some fishing. The motor starts on the first turn of the key, runs like a top. I did notice, however, that it is more...
