Ok back onto topic - all these little holes are what I want to seal to avoid any possibility of outside water pressure being able to work its way in under the Gluvit possibly causing an issue down the road. I'd leave it up to paint alone but some seams won't be painted.
I don't get down here much but I know you folks will feel my pain and know my angst.
When I was looking for SC they were few and far between. I don't know what has happened this spring but as of right now at this very moment there are 10 tin and one FG SC on CL just in the local listings. If I...
Short question will this work for my 18ss? Mine is a model# 990243s
I've noticed a slip every now and again and read that the usual suspects are the ball gears and the water pump shaft. Are the stringer intermediate and upper boxes all the same through the years and across the makes (elec. and...
With all the talk here of state paperwork and HIN numbers I thought I'd share this with the class.
I received a letter a few weeks ago from the IADNR (our local boat registration officials) stating that the HIN number on my '79 SC 18SS has an incorrect format that doesn't meet the USCG Fed...
What's the tank made of?
May need to have a one made custom if it absolutely has to be the same size but a quick look found me some close options from Moeller that could be a workable substitute. There's many more so some deeper looking could find closer matches.
43x25.75x8.6
35x25.5x8
This is a skill I'd like to pick up, my reply got long, JB closed the old thread, and my thoughts will be heard! :lol:
Because it's long - The short answer yes a $13 HF air hammer will work for most of us since we're looking at doing what maybe 50 rivets in our life time?
I've only ever done...
So I got my 12" self centering keel rollers. I got the 13.5" greasable roller shafts to go along with them. I slid a roller on a shaft and I notice that the shafts are way to long for these rollers. I figure I'll shim the ends with pipe to take up the extra and keep the roller centered then I...
Noticed it's cracked and will allow water to get to the wood in the transom. I need to know what it's called so I can get a replacement.

Not new to the Starmada but finally got some pictures of my new to me 1979 18SS. I bought it on a 0? day in Feb and finally got it on the water today. :joyous:
The 120 runs like a top. It was painted 5 or 6 years ago according to the PO and while there's some small flaws in it they...
Well I became a man yesterday and replaced the impeller. I'm hoping to take the boat to the lake this afternoon to test it. I keep reading that water should come out by the ball gears. Is there a telltale type thing somewhere there or does it just ooze out? How well can one actually see said...
On new to me boat the tilt works great but all I get from the trim is clicking, at first I thought it was just the solenoids but closer inspection sounds as though it may be coming from both the electric motor and solenoids.
Is there a manual way run the jackscrew to be sure its free or am I...
Not sure of the exact species but I couldn't believe it when I saw this at one of my stops last week. Fear of repercussion from accosting a customer kept me quiet though.
Hopefully he cleaned it off before or when he got home.
I'm sure you gurus already know about this but I tripped across it in the parts finder on Evinrude.com and figured I would post it up.
Evinrude Model Year Guide
Particularly the stuff from page 44 on. Looks like they have everything Johnnyrude ever dealt with from out drives to snowmobiles.
I'm trying to pick a prop for my 15' Starcraft Jetstar w/ a 50hp Johnson. (sig link below) Until I started reading here I just thought a prop was a prop but now see the need for fine tuning. I now understand the effect of pitch on RPM's but not the effect of diameter.
Right now it has the...
