    What size trailer?

    I like the idea with the bathroom scale! I’m going to weight my boat to know which trailer to buy: I’ll know the trailer weight when I buy a new one. Should make setting the tongue weight pretty easy!

    What size trailer?

    Thank you for the information! I will look video on up how to get proper tongue weight on trailer. My long trailer is very nice to back up but difficult to fit in my garage. I can do it if I take out my shelving, but at over 21’ there isn’t much extra room. I have my parents boat here boat is...

    What size trailer?

    I will take my boat and trailer to the scales and then again without my boat to get a good weight. I’ve never worked with a local dealer just marketplaces used stuff, so I’ll call around find the best service I can find. One more question… how far should a ball coupler be from a winch post? On...

    What size trailer?

    I am in need of a new jon boat trailer. Mine has turned into a headache and I’d rather be fishing that messing around with it. My boat is a 16x 54 flat bottom smoker craft. The trailer the boat is on is between 21 and 22 feet long and 66” between the fenders. Way more trailer than I need. I’m...

    1966 Johnson 9.5hp (MQ-12A)

    I think 85/80 is the highest compression I’ve seen on a turtle.

    What size and brand of fuel tank to get?

    Sounds good. I read that but I wasn’t sure, on a 6 gallon Moeller vs a metal Johnson tank. I’ll get the Moeller

    What size and brand of fuel tank to get?

    I’ve got several tanks at the house I’ve acquired in trades/motors I’ve bought. I’m not up to date on what is best one. I keep My boat covered so sunlight isn’t a huge concern (or am I wrong on this)? Tanks I’ve got right now Specter 3 gallon Moeller 3 gallon tank Atwood 3 gallon tank 2...

    What size and brand of fuel tank to get?

    I recently just sold both of my old mercury 3 gallon gas tanks with the intention to go plastic. I want a good quality tank I'm thinking either another 3 or a 6. I recently just got a 25 HP Johnson motor, so I'm not entirely sure how much fuel ill use. On my 6 hp and my 15 hp I'd be lucky to use...

    Two drain holes?

    It might be. I drag this boat, so it would be a bad place to a transducer for me!

    E6BACTA

    Friend of mine bought a 6 hp Evinrude motor with a broken drive shaft: he needs to order a replacement. Can’t find this model number with Google search. I think it’s Belgian made 1983, but I’m just guessing. Anyone have help?

    Pull starter

    You must have gotten a bad part. I replaced that same gear a couple weeks ago on my little Johnson 6 hp and it worked perfectly fine.

    Two drain holes?

    I bet i did but who knows! The floors were replaced on my boat prior to buying it so I haven't taken the deck out to this point.

    Two drain holes?

    I will take your advice and cover with a solid piece of metal. I believe it will be a much needed fix on my otherwise great boat.

    Two drain holes?

    I never thought to replace the piece, such a simple idea 🤓. I’m gonna try a plug first but that seems like a very logical next step

    Two drain holes?

    You do see daylight thought that hole. I took out that plug to drain the water out of my boat last night. It’s been filling up. I think from there.
