Need to pull the flywheel to get the ring gear replaced and this happened. It's a cast crank and it shattered when I rapped the puller with a hammer in an attempt to get it to pop loose. No the nut was not on the crank when I was trying to pull the flywheel. Now what to do? Grind it flat and...
Bear proof!!! Had a trash can full of corn and sunflower seed out back for the bird/squirrel feeders. Mama and two cubs seemed to enjoy it. Have 35 minutes of video as well but Vista don't like my camera....:mad:
I can't make up my mind on this.:( I like the idea of just using gulvit on the hull and then filling it with foam. Should stiffen the hull, deaden any sounds, and not melt if gas is spilt.
But, it will also be hard to keep the drains open front to back. Water could get trapped. It will be...
Many hazards on the road and my favorite is people who have to be in front of me at any cost. The trooper called this kids move the Jersey sweep. I was traveling I-80 westbound in PA when this kid decided that he would come down the onramp and blow through the open lane to my right(I had moved...
Floor was getting soft and the foam was waterlogged so I tore it apart. Expandable foam sounds great but I want something that can be removed later if there are issues with the rivets. Leaning towards pool noodles right now. Been looking at Bassboy1's version of this boat here as he did pour...
I bought this in 1992 at a garage sale for $150. Used it for 4-5 years then hung it in the shed when I sold most of my fishing gear off. Needs to be gone through, but I have no idea as to the year or where the model numbers are. Thanks
The Eninrude 70hp I have needs some electrical work. It ran great last year but didn't charge. The coils on the stater are weeping, two of the three ignition coils are cracked and I see no reason not to replace the rectifier while I am at it. Model number off the engine is 70473m. I'd hate...
This is a 135hp merc on a 1972 Crestliner. Thinking of buying it just to swap onto my Lund. Owner claims it runs fine but was unsure of the year of the engine. Said it has power tilt/trim. Can anyone nail down what year it might be with this fuzzy pic? Any major issues to look for? If I get...
Engine is a 1974 Evinrude 70hp. I think that the guy I bought this boat from may have test run it without the battery hooked up. Would this cook the rectifier, the stator, or both? I have not gotten a manual yet. Visual inspection is that all three ignition coils are cracked and that the...
Just trying to sort out some issues. This is the first boat over 14' and 10hp I have owned. Boat info is in sig.
Runs ok set in this hole, but will cav/vent in semi hard turns. Cavs/vents easy in the two upper holes going strait in rough water. Looses 3mph in the lower holes as the bow is...
