    transom height

    I have a Jon boat with a 15" transom, powered by a motor with an 18" leg. So I raised the motor up with 2x2 aluminum square, and now the cavitation plate is about 1 1/2" below the bottom of the boat. Seems to run okay like that. How important is it to be level with the bottom of the boat?

    Getting a new (used) outboard

    Ok. Today, I found a Nissan 5 hp on Craigslist, starts on the first pull, and idles very smooth. How can I find out what year it is? The model # is NSF5A2. And then it says: 3H6-1. Does anyone know where I can find an owner's manual, and service manual? Tomorrow I will change the fluids and...

    I DID IT!

    Here's one... I had a Craftsman hose-end sprayer. It got left on my driveway, and I ran over it with my car. So, I took it back to Sears, and showed them the broken pieces it turned into. I told them it was obviously defective, and need it replaced. They told me to go pick out another. FREE...I...

    95 days to go or should I say 10 now

    Now, THAT is a major success story

    No more calling in sick, either. (I did that a LOT my last year)

    95 days to go or should I say 10 now

    What's your exit date? 12/31/2015? Then 59 more days. I'm getting ready to stop working, too. I retired from the Postal Service on 12/31/2004, but was offered a part-time job right afterward. I've been there ever since, but only about 10 hours a week. It's easy, and if anyone pisses me off, I...

    Fire Extinguisher

    Walmart's Kidde PWC 5 fire extinguisher has only a 2 year warranty, while the Kidde 10 has a 6 year warranty, for $7 more. A better deal. Both include a plastic mount.

    Pods added to transom?

    2nd question: Is there enough room for your outboard to turn all the way right and left? By the way, the pods look TERRIFIC! I'm sure I will do mine the same way.

    Pods added to transom?

    What are those pipes that appear to be attached to each pod near the center?
