    thru-hull drain hole

    I just inherited an old 14 foot aluminum rowboat. I keep the boat on a hoist all summer. The transom hole is on the extreme left side which is not the lowest point of the boat. When it rains the water puddles up in the back of the boat until it reaches the transom hole. I used to have an...

    transom for Richline Challenger left outside all year

    I just bought my wife's grandma's cottage which has a 14 foot Richline Challenger. The boat has been flipped over the the last several years and the transom and seats look like they are shot.

    small outboards for freezing cold weather

    Are there or were there any small outboards designed for use in near freezing conditions? I plan on storing it in a shed at the cottage and just putting it on a 14 foot boat to go perch fishing or trolling for browns. I know mud motors are air cooled and may have less problems then traditional...

    Are these off-brand trolling motors any good?

    After a quick search of the Walmart website, I was stunned on how many off-brand trolling motors are available. They range anywhere from 30 lb thrust to an 86 lb 24 volt transom mounted trolling motor for $158. Some of the brands look like they came from the same factory. Costway, Goplus...
