2001 ELPT50 Merc

Hi, how is every one. Short question is. Lake Jackson, lower St Bernard river area. 2001 50 HP 2 stroke. I need some one better than me to look at it and go through it. The longer answer is. I bought an old game warden boat form auction. Did nothing to it, threw it in the water and went...

The 2x8 it is sturdy

I made a box (essentially) out of the 2 by on edge sot it is a 2 inch walled box about 19.5" high. I think the plywood will be lighter.

I have a 16' jon. It came with a CC but it was super low think flats fishing boat. I am raising the CC up to a better standing height, sitting height better also. I used some 2x8s to raise it 19.5 inches up. I am trying to decided if I should rebuild it out of Plywood to save some weight. If...

Also if someone can tell me how to embed the PDF. Also use really simple words I am a simple person

Trying to attach a PDF of the console. I am making the seat wider and deeper so the 12 gallon tank is removable with out taking the whole console out, that is how it is now. I am raising all of it so the standing/sitting position is much better. it is only 2" wider than the one in the boat. It...

Mock up so far, 38" fore to Aft, 48" high, the front bench is desinged to hold a 12 gallon gas tank, and the wheel is at 34" centered

My wheel is about 28" high at the center and I think it's about 6-8" too low for me (I'm 5'6" tall) and it's at a more vertical angle. I could use the whole console to be 6-8" taller to get the wheel up, the controls up and the windshield/grabrail up higher. But I'm used to it so it's not...

maintenanceguy, I oddly don't fish much. I like to drive the boat around but I am arguing with myself over loss of space in the boat and a console that holds the gas tank, battery, wheel, and "stuff." I did not see where you were from but also South TX most of the year is worth some sun shade...

I have been doing some mock up. Made a taller front made the seat more sit-able. I am wondering if people have a preference to where the wheel is. Flat, straight up and down, angled a little? Also how high to you like the wheel. I found a set of plans for a CC and the center of the wheel was...

I have a 2001 50ELPTO I want to replace the throttle form a side console to a center console. I believe it is an 8 pin. I am not sure how it is connected to the motor. Is there a nice video?

09 F-150 driving along highway speed, accelerated to pass, transmission wound up no shift than a really loud pop, no power to the wheels. Feels like 3rd gear died. No ATF on the ground. Need a new one now.

My truck broke, very sad. Anyone have a transmission shop?

I need/want a right hand control for CC. I have seen them for sale on E-bay and around. It is set up different than the SC remote controls. It looks like the CC "thing" is only Electronic. Has anyone swapped a SC to a CC remote? Is it a pretty straight forward swap? Thanks Jon

Thanks JIM, it was built buy a guy near Houston who makes custom jon/tin boats. It is heavy all welded not a big box store Jon. I am shopping for a set of pans for a CC or a fiberglass one. I would love to find one in the Houston area to shave shipping and what not if I were buying. Any ideas?

JL8Jeff that is what I figured out. So as to the the throttle ill learn to use it the way it is for now. Has anyone bought a complete replacement console, a CC one. Or have a good set of plans for a plywood one? I think it needs a foot taller and a seat/storage in front of it. It need some...

The Bench seat is all welded in Al. I don't want to cut on that. I believe the current Console is just lagged in to the wooden floor. The steering cable needs replacing so I will make any console adjustments prior to ordering a new cable. I am not sure the remote controls have a lot of slack...

SO, Bought a jon boat. It was made by a custom builder around here (Houston, TX.) It is 15'6" long on the paper work and about 60" wide. It has a CC. The bench seat behind the console is not very tall. The console is low to the ground. I am trying to have raise the CC or perhaps replace it...
