    Just got a free Manatee cuddy

    Hello all Im now the owner of a 1988 18 foot Manatee cuddy courtesy of my brother. He hadnt used it in awhile and wanted it off his lawn. It was covered up most of its life, and the floor is rock solid. The transom has no cracks, and doesnt flex. Ive mainly had aluminum boats, so this glass...

    1995 Johnson 40 VRO

    Still having issues with this thing surging after quarter throttle. Replaced cracked coil, new plugs, removed oil injection and mix my own gas. Lines are tight and filter is free. Runs/starts fine until I throttle up. I read in older posts that the fuel pump needs to be replaced with sierra...

    Looking for stronger seats

    Ive been looking at different seats for awhile, but Im not sure of the structural strength of them. I bought Wally World seats last year and I really hate them.... Why I hate them is because they are so flimsy I expect them to break in half at any moment. (my 8 year old grandson can get them...

    OMC controls - going crazy

    Not sure if this is the spot to post this, but Im not sure of my own sanity at this point. Im trying to locate a plastic gear/dog to replace in my OMC controls, but Im not sure what part # or the name of said part. My controls are single lever circa 1984 with the 2 cables and no trim. (I can...

    Compression tester

    Im looking at getting one, but Ive never used one so Im not really sure what to look for. Theres a ton of them out there to sift through, but the ones with the rubber stopper seem like they would be the ticket. Seems they would fit a wide variety of gas powered engines. Is there a benefit of...

    Froze clamp

    The transom clamp/screw on my 1965 3 horse WILL NOT budge. Tried working it back and forth with vice grips and some lubrication, but no dice. Im getting the feeling something is going to snap if I put more mustard to it... Any ideas or tricks?

    1965 Johnson 3 horse?

    Just got a freebie today, and I was wondering if anybody had any info on this little outboard. Im seeing the model # JH-20B as being a 1965 3 horse, but I dont know what the B on the end means. I was told it was a fully running piece, but havent done anything to it yet. It seems to be all...

    Opinions on a setup

    Im looking to put a stereo in my 15 ft aluminum Seanymph and have found a bunch of info already, but I just want to get some opinions on how I plan to set the whole thing up. Im running a 1962 Johnson 28h with no generator on it. I have a fairly new Everstart deep cycle trolling battery with...

    Odd iboats problem

    For some odd reason every time I go to the Electronics and trolling motors board, it says Im not logged in. None of the other boards are doing that to me, and I can post on them. Just not on the Elec board. Odd.....Anyone having something similar happening?

    Boat stereo reviews

    Anybody know of a good site to read up on boat stereo equipment? Ive been searching high and low for boat stereo equipment and Ive found limited in-depth reviews on stuff. I just want to find halfway decent stuff at a reasonable price. The price I can find, and I can hunt around to find deals...

    Tohatsu 4 stroke opinions

    At some point in the near future (or maybe not so near) I would like to upgrade to a newer outboard for my 15 ft aluminum SeaNymph. I am currently running a 1962 Johnson 28h on it, and although the motor hasnt been bad I would love to get something newer when the wallet and wife agrees. I have...

    Repair manual question

    I was wondering if the Seloc Repair Manual sold here (#1300) is the best one to buy for my 1962 28h Johnson. Is there a another manual that you guys would lean to when it would come down to self servicing this motor if you owned it? Just trying to make sure I buy the right manual that will help...

    Replacement seats

    I was wondering if there was any difference in "marine grade" vinyl and "all weather" vinyl in the seats that are available. Some say all weather as to imply they are of a better grade than most. Are there different grades of "marine" vinyl?
