Right on. This is now my current build. I've had this boat since May 2015. Got a little bit done on it but then stopped for the winter and to obsess on an online store project. I wasn't getting anywhere on that so yesterday I decided that enough is enough. I'm done with that. Maybe permanent...

I have a Ted Williams 4.5 HP outboard that has a plate on it that states "DO NOT use Unleaded Gasoline. Use ONLY Leaded" I've not yet had this motor running but I did try a little bit before I noticed the plate. My question is, What will the unleaded do to my motor and/or are there any...

OK gang. I'm stuck. I have a Sears Ted Williams 4.5 HP, model #: 217-59464. Has a Tecumseh engine with a brand new Short Block in it. I'm having a problem with no spark to the spark plug. So.... Taking the suggestion of a couple of you guys I started breaking down the motor to get to the...

I've seen in here where some folks have been able to upgrade their OB motors to the next higher HP. What I would like to find out is, that I have a Sears Gamefisher 3.5 HP (217.585230). Can this motor be upgraded to a 5 HP and if so, just what would I have to do and replace to make the upgrade...

This is my first post on TinBoats but have been reading a lot the last few nights, here. I recently bought a 12' aluminum V hull with an old Gamefisher 3.5 HP outboard. The boat it's self has absolutely no identifying marks, stamps, or tags other than inside the transom is a 5 digit number...
