    Only dumb question is a question not asked. As for the controller, it can be mounted on a flat surface. Generally seen on top or the console next to steering wheel. SHSU

    New (to me) boat owner

    I have a 1974 Evnirude 70. The nice thing is I can do all the repairs on it. The newer ones with computers/fuel injection can't usually be fixed by us garage grease monkeys. That being said, I am with you on wanting an new outboard. Would love to have a 90 hp on the back of mine. SHSU

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Yep, so guessing both are undersized/powered for what you are trying to do. You should be able to over flatten a rivet, as it appears you can't think you need some additional muscle. SHSU

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Guessing you hammer isn't hitting hard enough. Can you over buck a rivet or once you get the "V" that is as much as you can get? SHSU

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Admiral and I redid the entire boat, so we needed a good rivet gun. Plus I went with a 4X so I could do 3/4. Pretty sure below is where I got mine. https://www.yardstore.com/riveting/pneumatic-tools/rivet-guns/surplus-pneumatic-rivet-guns SHSU
