    '65 Evinrude 9.5 hp Sporttwin

    That reminds me that I have a couple saw horses that aren't doing anything...time to re-purpose one.

    '65 Evinrude 9.5 hp Sporttwin

    That's what I'm hoping for. It's pretty scuzzy at the moment, but some elbow grease should fix that. I'm hoping I can build the stand this weekend, and start getting it cleaned up.

    '65 Evinrude 9.5 hp Sporttwin

    While I don't consider it cheap, I do think it'll worthwhile for the experience. That, and it should be cheaper then springing for a new <10 hp motor. We'll see what happens with the paint. It may look just fine once it gets cleaned up a bit.

    Wired2Fish and Bluewater LED Giveaway

    If you remind people you'll lessen your chances :P I'm in for it as well. It'd be a great addition for loading and unloading.

    '65 Evinrude 9.5 hp Sporttwin

    Excellent pictures. I'd like to think that I may recoat the paint and bring it back to life, but I need to get it running first. I've got cabin fever going and just want to get out muskie hunting, but the return of frigid weather in Chicago isn't helping.

    '65 Evinrude 9.5 hp Sporttwin

    I almost feel like I'm insulting you by using your forum name...Thanks SumDumGuy! I've read it a couple times and have it book marked. I need to fab up a motor stand before I get to any serious work on this thing.

    10-4. I've gort a lot of reading to do before I dig into this, but I'm hoping to poke at it in the next week or so.

    '65 Evinrude 9.5 hp Sporttwin

    So, I've been lurking here for a couple years while I dream about getting a boat. Long story short, there may be a boat in my future, but I have an old Sporttwin that's been sitting in storage from my parents for at least 10 years. I'll be taking it apart and hopefully getting it up to snuff...

    Just got the dog out of surgery

    Add grapes to docs list. Some breeds can have a reaction that could, if untreated, lead to renal failure. Glad Hazel is doing well.

    Sick dog help

    For what it's worth, I managed inventory/purchaing for a multimillion dollar animal hospital for a number of years. The worst for foreign bodies were labs, goldens, and german sheppards believe it or not. Our worst offender was a Chicago Police Sheppard that kept eating the handler's kid's...

    Dustin's 14ft alumacraft conversion... lots of pictures!

    That's a nice fat perch. I wouldn't mind him and all his freinds.

    Sick dog help

    What made you think she was pregnant in the first place? Also, don't force feed anything. Are her gums a normal healthy moist light pink or are they pale and tacky? Also, is she urinating a defecating normally?

    Rubbermade Tote Livewell with an aquarium water pump

    Ok, how awful is this? I left out a switch that I plan to use for one of the outlets, but that should be easy enough to wire in. Also, only the livewell outlet is a cig. the other would be a pronged outlet.

    Rubbermade Tote Livewell with an aquarium water pump

    Well, I do have a battery box, and I suppose I could attempt to wire a cigarette plug. Is it possible to also wire the TM to a pronged plug? I just don't know enough to feel comfortable winging it.

    Rubbermade Tote Livewell with an aquarium water pump

    First real post here, and I have a project that I need help with. I'm not too familiar with safe electrical practice, nor what best practice is, so I'm looking for a little help. I have the basic design for the livewell done, and I know where I want everything to do, but I need help with the...
