That explains why it's so heavy. It's on the wrong side of the equator. Thanks everybody! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Stole (kind of) a Johnson 35 the other day & can't make sense of the model number, J35ATLCUD. PO says it's an 87, which matches the "CU" but NADA (not that they're an expert, but I'm trying to price it) didn't list a 35hp in 87. If you go with "UD" as the year, that's '76, but I really don't...

GREAT looking project! Looks very nice!

Drool... Love those HDI models! GPS too right? NICE

Great day! I do miss some bass (& crappie) fishing from time to time since moving to the great white North... but the salmon fishing is much better here ;-)

What was the cost like? Wouldn't mind something like that in mine, but would take a bit of material to do the 18'. Don't have TS here, maybe Farm & Feed or similar...not sure, never been much in tractors or farm markets.

Had similar trouble with mine not long ago & took hours to figure out it was a grounding issue. I had 12.4v at the pigtail, but only 11.3v (rough estimate by recollection) getting through to the lights. This was enough to power the dimmer running lights, but not the bright brakes or flashers...

I appreciate the suggestions. The prop was off when I took the video, I never put it in gear, so not sure if it could be a prop issue. What's the chances it's just an issue of idling too low? I adjusted a screw that keeps the tiller from turning too far in the 'slow' direction, and as long as...

https://youtu.be/oSZ4yOquK0c. 1975 Evinrude 40, starts & runs, but when I slow it down, something clunks every couple seconds at irregular intervals, kills the engine, sometimes the first clunk, sometimes it keeps running through a few clunks. Almost seems like the starter dog is catching the...

Here's mine - new to me 1984 Lund S-18 with Volvo-Penta 350.

Got out for the first time this past weekend, the boat did well. The motor had a few issues, but nothing too serious - it never left us stranded, but died a few times, leaving me pulling the cord more than I'd have liked. It died many times before I realized the roll-pin had come out of the...

Looks like those will work nicely. As mentioned above, just about any switch in the positive leg from your TM battery will do. I'd check your local electronics store for a switch you like. No doubt, most of the switches you find will be designed to go into some sort of housing, but you may...

Thanks Keystone. :) Got the trailer paint finished tonight, or at least as finished as it will get in the foreseeable future. I used Rustoleum satin "kills rust" enamel in white. I had used that the first go-round a few days ago but didn't get finished, and was really impressed with how rain...

Well - like most, it seems, I've been watching Tinboats for a while, and am just getting around to posting. First - thanks to all you guys for all the posts that have already helped. Last week I found what I feel is a pretty good deal on a 1984 Lund S-18. The previous owner hadn't been able...
