Back in the 70's my dad would always unplug the fuel line and let the motor run until all fuel was run out of the motor. This was done on the last time we were pulling the boat out of the water after a weekend of fishing or a week of vacation. Is this still a good practice with today's fuels on...

OK I was checking out the motor before we going fishing on Good Friday and I can't get it to stay running. First off new fuel tank and line so that should not be a problem. What I'm able to do is crank it and keep it running by constantly pushing the starter switch in and out. I see that...

The cowling on my motor is missing the sound blanket. What could I use to replace it? I was thinking the insulation that has the foil on it for duct work.

Took my son shooting today. We tested out his new sites. I mounted a Daisy red dot on his Cricket. Worked really good. He was hitting bulls eyes at 25yards and it's only his second time shooting. Any ways I took my 22 with us to shoot to. A Glenfield Mod 60. Is it suppose to leave the bolt open...

I have a 1991 Johnson 25 hp motor. The man I purchased it from gave me an extra set of carburetors. He said that they were the 30hp carbs for the motor. I looked it up and sure enough the motor is the same just different carbs make it a 25 or 30. My question is how much of a difference in...

How long should I wait before mounting my motor on my boat? I just installed the jackplate and sealed it with 5200. I know it says 30 minute set time and 48hour full cure. I was hoping to be able mount it tomorrow after church. That will be about 18 hours of drying time.

I have a Dell Vostro 200 that I'm having troubles with. It will boot up and run but will suddenly shut off and reboot. I have been reading and most say it's the motherboard so I got a refurbished one from Ebay user parts-dell. I assume they are a Dell authorized company. Anyways I just put it in...

I'm replacing the clamp screws on my motor. The old ones twisted off when I took the motor off the boat. I plan on using 316SS threaded rod. I need the cup washers. I checked McMaster and could not found them. Any body know where to find them?

Me and my son do RC drag racing as one of our hobbies. Here's a couple new cars for this years season. First one is my sons dragster, he's been wanting to have a dragster for a while now. Here's a link to the complete build. https://www.gcdragracing.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1751

Ok it seems to be 2 major brands of vinyl flooring MariDeck and Nautolex. I'm looking for either camo or OD green. Only MariDeck has them at $14.99 a foot. That would be $240 for 16' of the vinyl flooring. Is there any other choices out there that I'm not Googling...

Ok after removing the jack plate and various pieces of aluminum plates on the transom I'm going to need some serious welding repairs. My questions: Should I cut just a section out or replace the whole back end? Is it necessary to have wood in the transom? I plan on having a jack plate so the...

I picked up a used 16' jon boat back in the spring time. Here is the boat as we got it (with my happen son)and after a quick clean up and paint job to the exterior. Had to do a little fishing before I started a total rebuild. I will be posting the progress as it goes.

I have found some pitting on the bottom of my boat. I don't think it is serious pitting (see pic) but still pitting. I have been reading a lot about this issue and have not found any info on how to clean the area to make sure the corrosion is stopped before applying any fillers or epoxy paints...

Hi everyone first post on this forum. I was referred to this site from a fellow member(rusty hook) from another fishing forum. Anyways I have been searching the internet for aluminum side consoles and the only one I can find is the TH Marine one. Is there any others besides this or having one...
