very nice replications - thanks

thanks - it is the typical transom plug. I'll crawl down there and see what I discover. I imagine it can be loosened.

I am getting to know my recently purchased 2002 Lund and really enjoying it. My transom plug has the release knob on the interior but the access is blocked by the battery and gas tank. I did finally reach in and it seems the release knob has been removed. The only way to get rid of water is...

Folk, Thanks for this useful info. I am still considering this challenge and will post what I finally decide.

I just purchased a 2002 Lund 1650 Rebel SS. My friend who sold it to me usually fished alone and never installed any on-deck rod holders. There is plenty of rod storage in one of the boxes. I am planning to install one "rocket launcher" on the side of the console and it holds 3 rods. I would...

Big thank you to forum folks for their opinions. I am still unsure what I will do.

I just bought a boat from a friend. It is a 16' Lund w/side console and a 50 hp Honda 4 stroke. It does not have a transom saver. My buddy says he always trailered it with the motor in the up position. I have heard opinions that trailering is best with the motor down. Can forum folks tell...

We are installing an anchormate on our 14' jon boat. What anchor line is best for use with a 10# anchor? We use the boat almost exclusively on lakes.

I have an older Polarcraft jon boat. I power with a small outboard but use my wooden oars a lot to troll or just maneuver. The fittings on the boat are too big for my oarlocks and they really squeek when I row. Is there an easy solution for this? I am thinking of wrapping black electricians...

Dkyle....checked out their site and catalog....looks very good

I have an older 14' Polarcraft (aluminum) jon boat. I want to paint it. I remember reading on Tinboats about a good paint for this job. I even think Cabelas sold it. Can anyone recommend a paint for this job? Thanks

I am in the decision stages of our next boat and have focused down to 2 makes/models. One is the Lund SSV and the other is the Crestliner Sportsman 1650. Both have similar floor layouts that we want and other features in common. Do any forum folks have opinion on these boats? thanks.

I just moved to Madison WI and want to spend time on the local and state waters. I have owned several aluminum boats and have liked each of them for various reasons. I intend to purchase my next boat this winter or spring. It will be aluminum and used (probably). I will use it for fishing and...

I bought a set of new oars to have in my small jon boat. I figured to use them if I had motor problems or if I needed them to maneuver when I am fishing. I have hardly used them. They are 2 years old and in like-new condition. I just noticed yesterday that the blade on the one oar has started...

Bought a vented cap at a local marine dealer and took my boat out on the local lake. The motor ran great and had no issues. It started well, restarted easily and pushed my boat nicely. Thanks for the advice folks.

thanks for the good advice from TB folks. I plan to go to Gander Mountain and get a cap with vent. They cost $12.50+ now but I am also buying peace of mind.

I recently bought a used 8 hp Johnson outboard and plastic fuel tank. Both are in nice condition but I just noticed that the fuel tank has no air vent. What's up with that? Should I be concerned or is there some way the tank is vented? Any ideas are appreciated.

Mr. S, That looks easy enough and would be easy to do. I don't think it looks too bad either. It's a boat afterall.

that is amazing

Johny, I love what you did there on your boat. You have a new boat now. I am thinking I will start with just a basic floor like I wrote but when I see you half-seat.....hmmmm. I will use the boat for at least this year and try to get the temporary floor installed and then start thinking about...
