There is not a plate on the transom. The camouflage is painted by one of the previous owners. It was used as a duck blind. The hull number is a new one obtained by the owner I bought it from.
I want to put a 1962 Johnson 40hp on my 14 foot V Jon boat that is about 5 feet wide at its widest point. My research says this motor is too large for my boat. What kind of problems should I expect?
There is a Mueller 12 gallon plastic gas tank in my boat. It has a separate gas indicator which just a plastic stick. I would like to put a gas send unit in its place so I could have a gauge on the console. I have talked to a couple of places and they tell me it can not be done. Does anyone...
I have recently acquired a Minn Kota 40M trolling motor. Minn Kota tells me this motor was made in either late 1980 or early 1990. It has 5 wires (3 black, a red one, and a white one) on the power cable. I have managed through trial and error to get the motor to run. I think part of the function...

I am thinking about using a trolling motor to lower and raise an anchor. I need a speed controller that is bidirectional. Most of these that I have found say they are for a motor with brushes. The motor I want to use is from an older Johnson trolling motor. Is this a motor with brushes?
Last fall I was driving my boat and I hit an obstacle with my boat motor (1987 Mercury 35 hp outboard). The motor continued to run but there was not any movement. I assumed I had broken a shear pin. Recently I took the prop off to make the repair but did not find a shear pin. When I put the...
