Interesting I never thought about that, but point well taken. Thanks, Jay

The best thing was the boat (1994), 25hp mariner (1994), and trailer were purchased for $500. Also I just recently purchased a 16.5' spectrum aluminum bass boat that I should have finished up in the next month or so for the same price.

I've done all I'm going to do, but what whould I redo to it? Thanks, Jay

I made the one for the gray and used a reel foot bark stencil for the black, but both can easily be made. Just find two old real estate signs and print out the camo design online and cut out the graphic on one of the real estate signs. I was going for a bottomland camo pattern.

It's Hydroturf....hands down the best thing to put in a duck/hunting boat. 100% water proof and as light as styrofoam. You can buy it by the sheet and sometimes buy Closeouts and Specials, which are them same thing, but you just have to keep checking their website. https://www.hydroturf.com/

Ok I just took another look at it, the good news it is going all the way up and all the way down now, but still with a little pause. The top of the hydraulic need resealed from the looks of it and it looks as though the hydraulic arm is bent a little....I'm assuming from the preivous owner. Can...

When I got the boat and motor the previous owner showed me where it had been leaking fluid, which was around one of the hoses so I put Teflon tape on there and it sealed it up. Then I added ATF fluid and it looked like it was working fine until you try to trim it all the way down, which as I...

That's kind of what I was thinking. How hard is it to reseal one?

I'll check it, but let me ask this can you over fill one? Thanks, Jay

The power tilt/trim is working pretty good, but with one small problem when trimming down the motor will stop about 3-4'' shy of being completely down for some reason. I can physical push it down the rest of the way, but when I did this I noticed some fluid coming from the top of the...

Here is a link for 1973-76 wiring diagram that might help https://www.maxrules.com/graphics/omc/wiring/1973-76_18-25.jpg

Will do thanks Pappy

Thanks for a starting point and I think I found the correct wiring diagram for the motor which should help. Thanks, Jay
