I bought this boat a while ago and have not had time to mess with it until now. I've only run outboards in the past and am not familiar with I/Os. I got the motor started today and intend to rebuild the water pump in the lower. So far I've concluded that it's a gen 1 alpha outdrive. I want to be...
Hey everyone, so I'm back with yet another handful of questions about the best way to tackle this repair. The top of the transom on my Hyde Kanoe has cracked. I really would like to open it up and reinforce transom with some fresh ply as there is a bit of flex but don't really want to try to...
Thanks guys so I went ahead and used a two part epoxy primer to cover fairings. Top turned out really well but the bottom keel isn't perfect ... Don't think im going to sweat it too much. Hoping to get a coat of paint on cap here in the next hour or so after hitting primer with 220.
Sanded out bottom patch, the flap disc for angle grinder was a much better choice :). Now just waiting on resin and paint to get here. The 5200 seems to have done a great job at adhering/ sealing transom to cap. I've tried searching a bit and haven't found anything too definitive on whether or...
Well rain is heading in and put and end to the sanding. I think the top is about done. Going to start on bottom hopefully tomorrow evening. I assume the red is just paint but it is pretty thick( could be colored resin?). The cap just seems to be one sheet of resin with no glass (I could see my...
Here's the top repair uncovered. I'm going to start sanding and grinding. They didn't sand at all before they applied previous patch. Not even sure they used resin on top. Looks like they may have just laid a few fiberglass strips and painted
Thanks for all the input! Always glad to have this forum around whenever I need something :) Here's a photo of bottom of hull and also a photo of separation at transom ( boat is on its side). It almost looks like they just sealed in the past with silicone, wondering if 5200 would be par for the...
Not sure if you can see these in original post or not. This is my old account I had forgot about when ordering new people. Just screen shots from CL ad. I'll try to remember to take a few pictures tomorrow and upload. Thanks!
So... after selling my 1977 Lund bowrider (70 hp Johnson) at the end of last summer I was left boatless (save the yaks and the canoe). I bought a small skiff that I use for fishing and power it with a 6hp Tohatsu. My fiance kept on me and I knew the only way to make her happy was to get...
Just seeing if anybody knows the difference between these new motors other than rpm range.( $1169 for the 4 and $1369 for 5&6)
I've heard the difference lies in the carbs as they all have the same displacement, bore, stroke and weight. Is it possible to put a 6hp carb on a 4? If so does...
A few days ago I was worried that my motor was overheating after it had cut out on me one day .I went forward and pulled the lower to inspect/ flush water tube and inspect impeller. In order to remove the impeller, it seemed stuck on, i oulled the drive shaft through the housing. Everything...
I just recently purchased a 95 2 stroke force 5hp motor and it would start then run for a few seconds to a minute and then die. After removing pull start handle and cowling and reinstalling pull start handle I noticed that the gasket at fuel pump was cracked and was misting fuel. I ordered the...
