Hummingbird portable transducer mount on Achilles SPD 365. Suction cup is attached with hypalon 2 part glue. Display is mounted with RAM mounts to a piece of marine board on stainless steel hinge mounted on seat. I need to purchase a few more glue on d rings to better route the transducer cable.
Will it do any harm to the 4 stroke to transport it at an angle roughly the same as it would be if in the up position on a transom. Motor will be on a stand and securely strapped dowm?
Gave up on finding a 15 - 25 hp 2 stroke with electric start for my Achilles SPD 365. Purchased a new Tohatsu 20 hp with electric start & I'm very pleased with the performance. Wife & I travel in a motor home and tow a pickup so a trailer is not a real option. With that said, moving the motor...
Re: Intex Mariner 4 modifications and Tips
It has been my experience with the Achilles wooden floor inflatable, the floor joint H channel will require the floor to have a routed edge to properly fit the H channel. The same holds true for the stringer. I am not that familiar with the floors of...

A few more pictures of the bow board showing the set up for mounting the trolling motor (an aluminum track bar from rockler & the brackets from rockler mounting same to bow board all done with t-bolts). This shot also show the Scotty mount for the anchor and the...
Re: Mods to my Achilles
Thanks for the favorable comments and feedback.
Have attached some more pictures, one of the Beachmaster wheels, one of the layout for the base of the front mount & (hopefully) a shot with a little better resolution of the bow & anchor setup. We are at home right...
Assuming I correctly uploaded the pictures you should see my 12'2" Achilles I have set up for fishing. We carry it in the basement of our motor home, with the motor & fuel in the little pickup we tow behind the motor home. I have the detachable Beachmaster wheels from New Zeland so I can pull...
I am trying to locate the p/n which I believe is a starter pawl for a 1976 Johnson 15 hp. Going through the various parts diagrams for a '76 15 hp; I did not see this part on any of the diagrams.
I have the part circled in red on the attached picture. At least I think I have the picture...
Will these new tanks work with an older fuel pump motor? Engine seems to be starving for fuel after a few minutes of run time. I have fresh fuel, rebuilt carb, new points, plugs & condensors & 95 # compression each cylinder. It's almost like the motor is running way too rich as the amount of...
I am in the process of setting up my Achilles SPD 385 for freshwater and inshore (canals, estuaries, etc) saltwater fishing.
Prior to doing anything permanent, I'm taking it slow to try and figure out what will be the best for us. We travel in a 40' motor home and can stow the inflatable in...
