Hi guys, I only got this boat last year and still learning things about it. Today i tried to get the boat started up for the first time this year but it doesn't seem to be turning over. It just makes a buzzing noise when i turn the key. What can cause this? I have uploaded a video to my dropbox...

So I guess my boat was in fairly good condition the way it was already, but I disliked the old, stinky, almost rotting floor the previous owner had put in about 10 years old and wanted more storage space. Work hasn't been as crazy the past couple weeks so I decided to replace all the carpeting...

Im trying to assess if my transducer is mounted correctly or if there's something wrong with it. Over the weekend, i was on a river and the sonar would show depths of 6 to 8feet but i was clearly in only 2 feet of water... the mount was already on the boat when i purchased with no FF. I...

Anyone ever use this rod tote or a similar product? It seems to have good reviews. I'm thinking about buying this and doing some sort of removable mount for it on my boat so that it can also double as a rod holder. Seems like it'll keep my rods organized and easy to maneuver around multiple rods...

Anyone have resources they can point me to learn how to interpret the readings on my Lowrance Elite 3x? I'm starting to think I should have spend a little bit more money on the DSI version...

so this happened today... luckily i had a set of tools in the car and we were able to move the motor to the transom so that i could get home anyone know how to take out the pins on the pivot points?

Previous owner had never changed the tires on trailer since he purchased his boat (and now I'm thinking he probably only looked at the bearings every few years). One wheel came off just fine as I would have expected, the other side had a different level of exposure to the elements and the lug...

Most "universal" style jon boat covers come in only 14 or 16 foot. Anyone have any trouble using the 16 foot ones for a 15 foot jon? My boat is a 1542 with a side console if that makes a difference

found this on CL while searching for a boat. I saw it at a higher price the other day and now its only $400! trailer looks to be in a good condition still and no major damage, perfect for any of you MN DIY-ers. If I had more time and space, I probably would have picked it up already...

Do you guys have 2 gas tanks for your boats and swap out the tanks when one runs low or do you have a portable gas can that you mix into and pour it into the tank itself?

Hi, I don't know much about how bearing buddies are attached, but do they have any impact on me removing the wheels on the trailer? This is my first boat that I just picked up and the tires need to be replaced. Thanks

Just picked up my first boat today, its a Northwood 1542 Jon boat with 25hp Mercury. The hull was manufactured by SeaArk. All it needs is a trolling motor, fish finder, newer trailer tires and it's ready to fish. Features: Side Console Power tilt/trim Aerated livewell electric start bilge pump...

say you are looking at 2 similar boats within budget, but 1 costs a few hundred more and has livewell built in. Is there any reason to not go with that?

What's a reasonable price for 14' Alumacraft Mod V with newer 25hp Mercury 4-Stroke. Not sure on year of the hull, it looks newer. The motor is a 2001. The guy has it listed at 3000, but I think its a little high, I'm thinking it's closer to $2,500. Do you guys think its reasonable? I don't...

As the title suggests, would you go for a boat that looks a little rough, but functional with a newer motor (2000+) or a boat in very good condition with a slightly older motor (maybe 80's or early 90's)? Most boats in my price range are in one of these 2 buckets, so just want to see what ppl...
