Sorry guys, but I was unable to post pics. My other computer has gone out for repairs and won't be back for awhile. This old computer I'm using right now is so bogged down with spyware that I can barely even get it to work at all...and no photo software on this one. Anyway, the box did arrive on...

I took the motor back up there and he pulled the lower unit, pressure tested it, and replaced the upper drive shaft seal, which was leaking. It took him about half the day to finish it, but at least he got it done. I haven't had a chence to check it out on the water, but hope to do so within the...

Great; I'm ready. I just got Sawdust Farmer's mailing address and it's written down on paper because I've had endless troubles with my computer lately. I have a friend who is a computer geek, so I'm waiting for him to help me out with this machine. Hopefully, I'll still have it working when the...

Thanks for the comments. I called the repair shop and explained what had happened and emailed them this pic. The owner of the shop told me to bring it back in and they would pressure test and re-seal it. The problem is that it's a 300 mile round trip for me to go back up there. He says he might...

I just pulled the bottom screw and the oil came out all yellow and creamy.

I have a 1973 Evinrude 25hp motor that I just got back from the repair shop and took it out for a test run. I'm going to attach a pic of what I saw after I took the boat out of the water and hopefully some of you guys can tell me if I have a problem. Long story short...I took the motor in to the...

I have recently been working on a wiring project on my boat and, through advice received on this forum, I ordered all of my electrical supplies from www.genuinedealz.com I've been very pleased with the quality of what they've sent me and the price is very reasonable. In addition, shipping is...

I'm certainly no expert on this subject, but I can relate my own experiences. I have a 14 ft with a 25hp Evinrude and 6 gallon tank. I haven't really kept track of mileage or running time while on the water, but I can say that I am able to run that boat for an entire day of fishing, moving...

Hahnzookeeper: I've been checking out the photos of your boat and I like the idea of that piece of plywood that is directly behind the bow cap. I have the same boat and would like to create some space for mounting a spotlight up there, so I'm wondering how you attached that to the boat??? I...

Thanks for the help. I just placed my order for a Minn Kota Riptide 55lb thrust transom mount with a 36 inch shaft. This is something I've been planning to add to my boat for a couple of years now and finally got around to doing it. Looking forward to getting a chance to go try it out!

fool4fish: What is the shaft length on the trolling motor in your photo? I'm measuring my transom and outboard height and trying to decide if I should go with a 36 or 42 inch shaft. I like the way yours is situated, so I'm wondering what that shaft length is>

If you wanted to make the investment, you could purchase some basic reloading equipment and start making your own. The dies are available and you can even get bullet molds to cast your own lead bullets. At $3. per round, you probably won't ever save much money this way, but it could be...

Fool4fish: my transom is similar to your's , so I think it should work for me as well. Thanks for the photo...it helps to clarify my thoughts when I have a visual like that!

thanks for your replies! Its seems like I don't have much room for mounting the trolling motor next to the outboard, but I think I can probably make it work somehow. I suppose I'll just buy the motor and then figure it out My boat is a 1972 Starcraft Seafarer and it has a cut-out in the...

I'm wanting to add a trolling motor to my boat and would prefer to go with a transom mount. However, I'm unsure whether its possible to mount a trolling motor next to my outboard without it interfering with my ability to use the tiller control on my motor. My outboard is a tiller controlled 25hp...

These come in different sizes, so you can choose the rope diameter that you wish to use. The ones that are pictured above are for 1/2"-5/8". I've never used one either, but from the looks of it, I suppose the teeth in the groove that the rope runs through will put the rope in a bind and hold it...

I just did some searching and found this one. It's aluminum with a stainless rope guide. Looks like it might work for me. I'm wondering if that stainless rope guide is useful or necessary in an anchor cleat application?

Does anyone have experience with one of these type anchor cleats? I'm trying to find something that's easy to install and doesn't take up a lot of room on the limited space of my bow cap. How well do these things work? Any suggestions on something that might be better?

What are some good options for types of paint to use over Gluvit? The instruction say to use an epoxy friendly paint, but suggest asking your local paint supplier for such a paint. My local paint supplier has teenagers working the paint department and I don't trust them to know if a paint is...
