Thanks for going the extra mile for me, I appreciate it. Most definitely I will be digging deeper into the issue. May make a trip to the Honda dealeship. I would hate to damage the motor.

Thanks for the reply. That is my delema, I can't find a pee hole. There are only two holes with tubes attached and both seem to address fuel overflow from destinct parts of the motor. I am getting lots of water from around the exhaust through the lower unit around the propeller however...

Just picked up a 1998 Honda 9.9 4 stroke. Starts quick, runs smooth and there are no apparent issues. My concern is as follows; I am use to seeing a pee stream of water near the upper part of the engine on other outboards. This does not seem to be the case with this Honda. However, plenty of...

Mike, I am not 100% positive sure on the MAriners however, I think if you look on the back side of the control box you will see the switch. Get the number off the switch and contact Mariner. They should be able to send you a replacement key. I know this to be feasiable for the Evinrude eTec...

D Boone, Have you made any progress regarding the Northwest boats? I don't know where you live on the NC east coast but if you're interested in coming up to Portsmouth, VA we can go out fishing in the Starcraft to the James or to the Bay. Fish out of it and drive to see how you like the style...

Great looking job on your boat! =D>

I fish the James River, Chesapeake Bay and along the Atlanic in a1968 18' Starcraft with a closed bow. The big advantage these boats have is the deep free board. Mine is 32" deep and 7'-5" beam. They are stable, easy to maintain and the they are "TIN". I love the boat and the handling in...

Outstanding! I really like the polished exterior.

I should have looked at the link first. Being they are in Nevada that would explain everything. Nevada along with Delaware are two of the States that have the most flexible laws for corporate and commercial. It now makes prefectly good sense what they are doing and how they are putting it...

Zum, the only thing I would offer is, are these guys where you can get face to face with them if needed? Being in business since 1997 is good and offers positive feedback however, I would still want the option of looking them in the eye if I had to.

You may want to be careful with Zinc Chromate. I have never used it myself but I have heard that it can be dangerous stuff. May be Russ or one of the others who have experince with Zinc Chromate can help out on any special precautions needed. What color are you going to paint it?

I found this site to be very helping as i begin my own modification project. https://www.finishing.com/107/12.shtml Where will you be using your boat? My tinboat will be used only in salt water hence I rfeceived a good word of caution. Be care about how much copper is in the paint that you...

I have have sold and still do for that matter on eBay as part of my business. Unfortunately the days of using eBay as a platform to run or supliment a business or make money is long gone. You may already know this but if you don't, large companies liek Sears, Bosch, Delta, and distributors for...

Thanks to everyone for their impute. If I purchase the boat I will put up some pictures of my big "Leap of Faith". Porbably the first thing I will do or should do, is to get some zinc chromic paint and some good marine paint and do the hull. Since it will only see salt water I am supposing...

Thanks guys for all the impute. I'll be using the boat around the Elizabeth, Nansmond and James River, edge of the Chesapeake Bay and ICW. I don't plan on getting out in the rough stuff with this one, I have a 19' Infinity for that. This really is a great forum!

Great Forum, I'm already glad I joined. I am planning on purchasing a used jon boat 15' to 17' and an OB of 20 to 30 hp. My question is; which is the better method of construction riveted or welded? Thanks in advance for your opinions and suggestions.
