Do you guys tend to place your seats for tiller steering center or offset? Getting my list of mods ready!

Trouble planing.... Is my cavitation plate to low?

Ok, just saw this small puddle of oil underneath my 9.9 Johnson. It still runs fantastic. I know the pictures are bad but the oil is clean, not milky I have a brand new impeller, so I was planning on dropping the lower unit soon anyways, what other gaskets/seals do I need to add/replace...

I have 2 lowrance elite hdi ff. One is the 4x with the broadband transducer, the other is the 4 (GPS) with the hdi transducer. I currently have the higher end unit and transducer on the transom, other on the tm. Would anyone recommend switching and putting the better unit with the hdi transducer...

Ok.... My boat is a 14" 1967 creastliner. 1988 9.9 Johnson with e start. A Minn Kota 30# troller on the back, a Minn Kota 42# power drive auto pilot on the front. I'm including 1 lowrance elite 4xhdi. Working nav lights and 600gph bilge pump, all hooked up to a 4 gang switch. The battery is...

Ok guys, I have these. Shorelander pin style bases, 11" pedestals, and seats (w/ the pin bases). Now, I'm a big guy, 6'1",285~ . But these seats feel wobbly, not really to the point that I'm going to fall out, but uncomfortable at times. Is it just that I went with a cheaper brand? Now I'll...

Ok guys, anyone have suggestions or pics in mounting a transfer on a power drive tm? Here is the motor I'm getting How in the world do I run the cable?! Thanks!

I feel like my cable drive motorguide 43# is too much for my boat, it's very tall and feels cumbersome. There are a couple of really good deals on some older Minn Kota Power Drive units with auto pilot in my area, and I have already gotten an offer on my tm that would cover the price. My boat is...

I know this has been covered recently but would like a quick opinion.... Is this too tall or would you try it?

Ok.... If, and it's a big if, I wanted to find a way to blend this together. My new nose cap I'm putting on to support my trolling motor. Bondo putty? Fiberglass resin? Maybe even like a plasti-dip rubber coating? Any ideas out there?

So...9.9 Johnson 2 stroke. Just pulled it out of the garage for the first time this year. Electric start not engaging, but Jesus I really hope that this is due to the fact that my starting battery was almost dead, but wanted some opinions. Thanks for any input guys! https://youtu.be/5GW82uMV92c

Ok guys, what, if any, 3 gallon tanks would you recommend? I fish local, under 500 acre lakes, they almost all have a 5mph/no wake restriction. So my old OMC 6 gallon tank is a waste, and I'm selling it. I want a 3 gallon, don't care about a fuel gauge. I'm sure they're all EPA compliant but I...

OK, I'm painting the boat this week, I didn't go to bare aluminum because most of the paint was in great condition. Anyways, the question is would you use this particular primer on a basic 2 tone Rust-Oleum tip and roll paint job. I don't need self etching, I don't need the auto/filler type.

OK, I'm in Omaha. Chilly right now but not so bad that I can't get some things done on the boat. I've got everything emptied out, motors are in the garage. Anyways, I'm washing the boat out now, about to flip it and do a light sanding, tsp wash, and a vinegar wipe down. My question is with the...

Hey guys...I have a 600gph bilge pump. I need to extend the wires to a battery, I'll need to run about 10' of wire to get to the switch panel and battery. What gauge should I use? I was thinking 12g

So, wet foam, wet wood on the bench seats. I'm completely removing them. How strong are these ribs? I'm putting in a floor, and will have supports running all the way across at at least 6 different points. Will that be OK? I'm putting a layer of foam under the floor bow to stern.

Pulled middle seat out, wood is wet underneath and feels heavier than I think it should be

Hey guys, there is a thin piece of metal on the nose of the boat that is causing problems with mounting a bow mount tm. It's bowed up so that it causes the tm to sit at an angle. I'm thinking of removing it and replacing with a flat piece of glassed ply. Large enough to mount the tm, bow light...

So, saw a fogging spray at Walmart by Stabil for about $4.... Anyone used it or know anything about it?

I have a 14ft aluminum v hull. I put temporary decking in this summer knowing I would take it all out and re frame work aluminum and use a higher grade ply with a non slip paint. Anyways..... I'm in Omaha, and it is now cold...... Like 3 months below freezing cold. I plan to remove all the old...
