I've been dealing with overheat problems on my 84 yamaha 40 hp for a while now. I replaced the water pump and thermostat and after taking it out yesterday the problem seemed better but was still there. Also, ever since I got the boat (2 years ago) the motor would start missing/cutting out at...

I'm currently in the process of redoing all the flooring in my 1648 Polar Kraft and making a large front deck as well. I plan to use grizzly grip on the deck and floor. Most of the homemade hatches I've seen on here use carpet which really helps to hide imperfections as well keep the hatch tight...

I've been having a few problems with my trolling motor since I got my boat. 1. After about 2-3 minutes of trolling at speed 5, the motor just cuts out. I can drop it down to 4 and it will work instantly, but have to wait a little bit to go back up to 5, and then the same thing happens. I've...

I'm about to leave for school (tomorrow), and I won't be able to keep my boat at my apt. I'll be storing it outside at a storage unit place. My main concern with that is charging the batteries. I have two batteries, an everstart starting battery, and a deep cycle. I'm quite certain the starting...

Hey guys, I've been hiding around here a while but have never actually introduced myself. This place is very inspiring! I've always wanted a bass boat but after some of the conversions I've seen you guys do on your ol' tins I thought that would be much more fun, gratifying, and cheaper...

I've got an old '65 Johnson 5 horse that has the throttle on the side and I'd like to know if its possible to add a twist-grip throttle. I've attached a pic of what mine looks like and a '65 6 horse I found a picture of. Let me know what you gurus think. Thanks, -Tucker
