Just wondering if my motor is running right or if there's something else I should check. It seems to kinda miss every few seconds when in idle. It runs fine otherwise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWxj-nJzgN8

I bought a 1993 Stratos 280 SF and it has a Lowrance Bluewater Pro 1220 installed and a thru the hull transducer. I also have wiring at the front that seems to have allowed the use of a second unit at the front using the same transducer in the back but I don't have the display unit. I also have...

I have a 1993 Johnson 150 Silver Star Series Model VJ150ELATG. I was testing it last night to see if the "pee hole" was working. I assumed it was right under the engine area on the back corner of the motor, but there aren't any holes anywhere up there. I only see in the lower unit. Am I...

I just bought a 1993 Stratos 280 SF with a 150 Johnson V6 Silver Star Series outboard (Model VJ150ELATG). The previous owner just had it in the shop and had fuel pump replaced with one that uses the fuel/oil mix instead of the separate fuel and oil model. He also replaced some O rings. Not sure...

I've currently got 2 livewells that automatically fill when the boat is in the water and when these 2 valves are manually opened. The valves are controlled with a cable like a bicycle shifter cable. The cables seem to be stuck and the location of the valves in the stern hatch makes it...

So, I know this isn't a Tin Boat question but you guys have been so helpful in the past I figured I'd ask. I just upgraded from my 12' custom Jon boat to a 19' fiberglass Stratos fish and ski. The boat has 2 seats that double as bench seats when on plane then are removable for fishing. They...

I've got an custom decked Alumacraft model 1232 Jon Boat for sale (Miss Peach). It has a 6hp Johnson and wireless controlled trolling motor. Comes on a new trailer that is narrow enough to fit into your back yard. I have clear titles/registration for everything. You can check out the progress...

I've been trying to look around the site to get the best information, but I'd like some summarized clarification. I'm thinking about painting my boat, but want to make sure I do it right. I did one several years ago but the paint ended up being powdery after a few seasons of being in the sun...

I am looking at getting a transom mount. I have a 6 HP Johnson on a 12' Alumacraft. The transom hangs off the back of the trailer a little so I'm thinking that most transom mounts won't work because of the angle required to hit the trailer with the lower part of the mount. Am I missing...

I've been searching around and haven't quite found an answer to this. I've seen the cheap boat cover suports thread https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17661 and think I'm going to go this route for cover supports. My question is can I just get a tarp from Harbor Freight or...

I have run all of the wiring to but am having trouble with getting it all together. I am having issues with wire gauges and what to use. Bow Trolling Motor - Plug in the deck attached to 6 gauge wire. This will have a 50 amp breakered fuse inline in the hatch next to the plug so if it blows...

I have a buddy with a vinyl cutting machine who has offered to cut my side graphics for me. I'd like some some help picking the best grapics. Here are 2 options that I've come up with. The boat is Miss Peach. My wife's from Georgia and one day she had a shirt on that said something like...

I have an old foot control MotorGuide trolling motor on my Alumacraft 1232. I've seen several types of mounts and I'm looking for ideas. Currently I am using 2 2x6's stacked up to lift it up over the bow so it will work. I was looking and found this cool bracket from Motorguide for $100, but...

I just picked up a new Eagle Cuda 300 from eBay. It's a 2009 model and it's my first fish finder. Not even sure it will be that great, but more than anything I want it for depth and bottom contour. I'm trying to decide where to mount it. I have a 12' Alumacraft that I'm in the process of...

I am working on my Jon Boat deck and I have been thinking about using cabinet grade plywood or even something like flatbotm's deck here https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=20341 but I want it to be stained wood color, not painted or opaque stain. I also don't want to have to put...

I recently got a sweet deal on a 2002 Alumacraft 1232 with a trailer, 2 6HP outboards (already have a working 6HP Johnson), a trolling motor and more. I sold everything except the boat and trolling motor, bought a new Harbor Freight trailer and bow mount trolling motor. I assembled the trailer...

Refer to the motor diagram in the attached link for the numbers listed by part names. I picked up a 1986 Johnson 6HP this week and have been able to get it running. I've got it hooked up to the motor flusher and when it's running, it leaks oil and water around joint where the gearcase (#61)...

I have a trailer for a 12' Alumacraft Jon Boat on a small trailer. I'd like to store it in my back yard but the maximum opening is just over 48" and I can't do anything to the fence to make it wider. I'd like to shrink the trailer a bit to make it narrow enough to fit into the back yard. I'm...
