For peace of mind, I'm taking it in next week.

I have a 1984, 15 H.P. Yamaha that runs well. But this past week while I fishing I noticed that the back of the motor, just below the head, got extremly hot. I couldn't keep my hand their longer than 20 seconds. The out spout had water coming out of it, and the lower unit and head was not hot...

Well said Frogman, well said.

Yeah, I just got done doing the inside of the boat with Rustoleum Top side (Battleship Grey) paint and Valspar Enamel Hardner and it turned out great. Yes, sprayed the outside in direct sunlight, and I wasn't shaking the can regularly. Try again tommorrow, I'm thinking of just spraying over...

Unless your built like a Russian Bear, and you want to car top it. Stay away from the Scanoe. I had the original Coleman Scanoe for 7 years and another Pelican Scanoe for 5 more. Their versatile, and stable but heavy as hell. I trailered mine. I remember them being about 113 lbs. dry weight...

I'm redoing a 14' Smokercraft and I have just put on 2 coats of spray can, white, Rustoleum Gloss enamel on the outside of this tinny. So far, so good, except that the white paint seems to have glossy areas and not so glossy areas. I would take pictures but it doesn't quite show up well enough...

I switched tires again, and it seemed to be the tire itself. The tires I bought were U.S.A. trail, carlisle, 4 holer (not sure if their quality tires). Also, after further review the Blue and Red pinstripes on the rim, it seemed like the rim was slightly bent. So I took it back to Fleet Farm and...

The axle is a welded upside down "U" bar, with the spindles welded into the end. So, no, I can't move axle around.

I purchased a used tin with trailer a few months ago. I noticed on the way home that the trailer tire on the drivers side had a slight wobble, but not the passenger's side. So I bought brand new tires, thinking the rim was bent, still had a slight wobble. O.K. so I buy new bearings and regrease...

At least 10 years.

What if I would just put 2 coats of rustoleum top side on it with the anti slip additive? If I did so, would I still need to epoxy it?

What would you use for a water proofing agent? I am glad you mentioned that, as I am looking to make a grate system in the back of my tinny for the gas can and battery to sit. I was going to use treated, but I believe I will now use non treated and H2O proof as you mentioned. Just need to know...

What's the approx. price for the petit epoxy? I am buying paint today for the inside of my boat. I am currently looking at the Rustoleum topside as well. This site and the people on here are class acts, and have saved me a lot of $. Kudos!!! As far as the Rustoleum topside, how would most...

The scenario: I am looking to cut a 3/4" 4 x 8 sheet of plywood to go on top of my trailer and under my rollers, to be used as a heavy duty catwalk. I will cut the plywood to the formation of the trailer and bolt it down accordingly. I have also purchased heavy duty outdoor boat carpeting with...

After going to trackers website their are some minor differences in the upgrade. In the 1542 over the 1436 you get: .063 5052 marine aluminum alloy vs .043 gauge 5052 marine aluminum alloy Livewell/wetwell in center seat vs none 15' vs 13'10 60" beam vs 53" beam Up to 25 H.P. vs Max of 15 H.P...

Must have besides the mandatory life jackets, oars, anchors, etc: 1. Drinking Water- A hot day will dehydrate you FAST. 2. Hook cutters- I have had a few partners put hooks into their extremities. Why pay a Doctor big money to remove a hook, when I can do it for free. 3. Bug Dope. 4. Pliers -...

$200.00 for the boat and not a penny more. Tell him to take it or leave it. $300.00 if he throws in a trailer.

Great ideas guys, but I don't want to alter the original boat seat in ant way. I refuse to drill into the seat of any kind, so that's out of the question. I actually gave the lashing strap consideration before I wrote the original post. The problem for me, is that the foam doesn't come all the...

I have a 14' 1972 aluminum deep V, with 3 bench seats. I have been looking to find ways to attach a boat seat to the aluminum bench seat. I have read many different ways to do this from building a wood box around the bench seat to cutting a main center hole in the seat to using T-bolts...

Thanks, I have decided that those are the type of seats I am going with. The problem I am finding now, is trying to find a good clamp with a swivel. Most of the ones that I am finding are rated poorly.
