    12v Motorguide keeps frying switches.

    Here's some pics of what I've got. Could I be dealing with a motor that's just old and drawing too much? Honestly it's probably time for a new one , but id like to get what I can out of it before that investment.

    1990 Javelin 353. First boat!

    I picked the boat up a week ago. So far im happy with it considering its basically free. Well not free, but i got little to no monetary value in the boat as i traded a Zero turn for the boat. And the zero turn was free to me. It needs a couple things. some small hull refurbishing.(scratches...
