I need some help here. Replacing rotted flooring and ALL the foam on this boat. Floor and foam is out. My problem; all 6 of my fuel tank mounts are broken. The tank itself seems to have shifted toward the stern roughly 1/2". Based on the pics it also "dropped" maybe 3/16". The tank is plastic...
My cousin's boat, a 79 Starcraft Mariner with a 40hp. The motor has clamps but also 2 bolts below the clamps for attachment to the transom.
I think he has the motor maybe 1.5 inches to low. The 2 bolts are only through the aluminum below the transom board. I think it should be higher so the...
2000 model 20' Lund Alaskan SS. I replaced the front deck a couple years ago. Now I need to replace the aft deck. IF I decide to use sheet aluminum how thick would I need? 1/8"? 3/16"? aluminum stringer supports are maybe 16"-18" span. I need maybe 56"x12' of 5052 or 5086 (I think) for the...
I'm pulling my hair out....I think I have a bad float switch but... Dash switch for bilge pump is on, float switch is down but bilge pump is running. Also I'm only getting about 5 volts through the float switch. If the float switch was bad wouldn't I get either a full 12 volts or nothing?
Did a few searches and get mostly bilge pump and electrical stuff...
My livewell pump died. It's 16 years old so I can't find a replacement motor cartridge (Attwood A500). I bought a replacement pump kit but I can't get the old through transom piece out. Is it screwed in? Is it glued in? It's...
Is there a difference in hardener for polyester and/or epoxy resin? If the answer is yes;
Can they be switched without issue? If no;
How do I clean up the huge mess I now have with 2 solid layers and gravy in between? Cut it all out and start over?
I am doing the first spring tune up and have done everything but fuel filter(s). There is one inline just inside the cowling and another inline leading to the injectors. I only bought 1 filter but am assuming I should change both? How does the line disconnect from the filter? Its a little...
Driving home last night I saw "parts" rolling down the road behind a guy and his wife pulling a really nice 24+' center console something or other boat. About a half mile later I see smoke coming from the right side of the trailer, at the tire. After he turned at a light I decided he wasn't...
Re: 'Kicker' motor advice
Is there a reason you can't just hang the 9.9 on the transom? You aren't going to get on plane with that motor so if the prop is in the water and it is low enough to draw water then go for it. You might have the prop come out of the water if it gets rough enough...
Re: Lake is low, cables don't reach water. Solution?
Undo the crimps at these 4 locations and add a section of chain? There looks to be a foot or more of cable wrapped around the post.
I'm looking for the triangle shaped bracket that mounts to the swivel pin assembly (#9) at the area circled in red. This bracket is needed so I can steer my kicker from the helm through a quick disconnect rod. One ball would mount at the tip of the bracket for the steering linkage rod. Mercury...
I am wondering if the eyes that I use for the trailer tie-downs are sufficient for pulling tubes. I have never pulled skiers or tubes or boards so I have no idea if I need something more substantial... There is one on each side. I am only looking to drag grandkids around, not adults. Any...
I have a 2001 Merc 50hp bigfoot, remote steer. A local marina wants to give me $1000.00 for it as a trade in. The motor is no longer on my boat. I think I can sell it on my own for a little more coin (I had it sold once for $2500, but fell through).
Is it possible to start this motor on a...
Re: Hummin'bird 787c2i display problem
I know the black squiggly lines are tracks. :) In my first post I incorrectly stated the display colors WERE RIGHT. They are not. Click on the pic to enlarge it, If you look at the depth in the top left you can see the lines that run the whole screen...
I have horozontal lines on the screen, and the display colors are right. I've had this for 6-7 years. I remove it from the boat after every time out. I have the latest update from H'bird. Anyone know what might cause this? I was thinking maybe the connections were loose due to constant plug...
