does anyone have some pics of their flat bottom 1670 landua jon boat they can share with me i am thinking about purchasing one and want to know what it looks like before i make the drive, it is 48 inches across the bottom and 70 inches at the beam....thanks...... Mike

i had the lowrance 520c on my boat and was no more difficult to work than my humminbird 525 but the extra features are great...like setting a waypoint at the dock before you leave so you can find your way back at night, or marking channels or fish, they are well worth the money and they can be...

thats a good looking boat it looks to be in great shape for it's age a new piece of wood for the transom and a nice 15 hp and a coat or two of paint and you will be on your way.....nice find ....btw......i wish mine was that wide i have a 1969 1432 sears that i'm getting ready to do surgery on...

i would check the floors for soft spots and tap around on the transom with a rubber mallet to see if it is weak......Mike

personally if it was mine i would put in a bilge pump controlled by a float switch and dock it and cover it, and the only time the bilge pump would comsume battery current is when enough water is in the bilge area to activate the bilge pump. float switch at wally world for 16...

do you have any illustrations? or can you give me step by step details on how to do it?...................Mike

probably not....why do you ask Jim? i have no clue on how to work on these outboards, if i had a exploded view of the lower unit i might try, but i don't.....you have one? and how hard is it to replace the impeller?...............Mike

the bilge pump is for in case **** happens like i knock a hole in the boat or in choppy water and the boat takes on water i can flip a switch and automatically pump out the water, it is a safety feature just for my peace of mind.............Mike by the way i took it out for the first time...

the lights screw on and they put out just enough light to see to rebait .......Mike
