I bought a 1970 4hp Johnson motor cheap because it wasn't pumping. It had a blown head gasket (RTV lol) and I don't see allot of water coming out the exhaust relief. It is running at 120 degrees but I would love to add a tell tale. I have a 66 6hp on my 14 foot boat and I added a tell tale to...
Hi my 66 6hp is running cold. I fired it up for the first time this year today and all was well but with my inferred on the water jacket of the head was 115f degrees and the thermostat area was 100f degrees (not the cover where the thermostat sits in the head) I was running in a fedex bin with...

This is my second boat (14' long, 58" wide, 20" tall) my first boat was a 10' Jon that was 48" wide! The Jon was wiggly but we tried to tip the Jon over but could not!! I don't like that tippy feeling at all!! Will this Starcraft be tippy? I have not taken the 14' out yet, I traded my 10'...
