    Need term for part of old trihull

    I have a 79 Crestliner trihull that has been modified so that it no longer has its original gas tank. Can someone tell me what the name of that space is on this boat? Also, is it safe to put one or two portable gas tanks in that space and put the battery there as well? There seem to be small...

    Fuel line adapter for cheap plastic tank?

    I have a 1984 VRO V4 115 hp. I bought one of the inexpensive portable 6 gal tanks, thinking to try the engine on the hose. I never even looked at the fuel line. It's a double line at each end. Is there an adapter I can get to connect to the portable fuel tank? I've done some reading of old...

    Run the motor on the hose

    I'm new and ignorant. What does the term "run the motor on the hose" mean? I gather it's a way to test run the boat motor while on dry land. How is it done? Thanks~

    Manual tilt & trim--how do I do it

    I've read some posts about t&t back into 2003, and I have the Selco manual for my engine. But I'm still stumped. I have a 1984 Evinrude 155 hp. It's on a boat I just bought a week ago, and I haven't been able to get to the lake yet. The engine is tilted up for trailering, but I want to lower...
