    25 hp mercury tiller...what year is this?

    Serial #5787366. Thinking about purchasing this engine. Very clean. Couple of downsides: skeg is broken off, but more importantly, won't stay running unless feeding carb fuel. The PO had it in storage for 6 months. Didn't drain fuel so carb prob clogged. Thinking it needs fuel pump rebuild kit...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore Well, I've had a busy week on the boat, for a change. Actually, boat(s). First of all, great to get busy on the restore again. As you can see, I was able to finally get the "Bermuda triangles" in(I began calling them because they are not too big, but an absolute pain in...

    lower unit bolt broke off

    I have a 30hp Mariner. Needs water pump. Previous owner, apparently, tried to drop lower unit. One of the 4 bolts snapped off flush. Any thoughts on how to proceed getting lower unit off? The other 3 bolts are still on. They, I'm sure will require some heat/freeze to coerce them, & good...

    Re: 14' Larivee restore Thumb feels better after a night for it to absorb all that cortisone. Thinking out loud on something. Thought I'd get some input. See attached pics. I need to glass the tops of these. What are my options? Here's what I was thinking...could/should I router/round top...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore Chance today to update my status...Well, as you know, nightmare glassing attempt with the 1708 on the deck. You can see the "before" of the glass. Trust me, didn't end up all going on. Had to rip up forward half before it kicked. Just too big for me to handle. No...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore These are the 1" x 2" pieces I am currently PB filleting in & glassing. Tedious, yet necessary work. I got on a roll last nite about 10p.m & got them almost completed. Just another deck view of those side pieces I put in. Very pleased of how they look before deck glass...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore You get an idea how I used the piece of scrap from cutting the deck to just re-fit back in. I flapped a bit off the back of it so it laid somewhat flat, but with just a slight tilt up so any water would drain toward center. Plus I used a fair amount of PB to achieve a...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore Thought I'd play with the paint feature you taught me wood...the red outlines where the previous deck was. As you can see, not much of a deck.

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore So in the first pic, you can see where the edge of deck drops off about 1/2". Now as you look further to the left(or toward the side of the boat, because of the contour of the hull, it comes up more level to the actual deck. The farther forward you look, the more...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore As if I couldn't feel more accomplished. I'm not completely computer illiterate(thanks for the tip Wood). Now off to bed. These are the areas in question. Just quite a drop off the edge in this area..just thought I'd try to fill it...or hey, just had an idea...these...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore Aw, poop Wood...I knew someone would ask me to do that & embarrass me for not knowing how to do that whole circle or outline my pictures. So, to save face, I went out on the patio & just took another couple pics. You can see them in fuller view on the previous post, in...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore Happy Saturday to all. Been a while since my promised update. As you can see, I've made a little progress. I measured the deck six ways to Sunday with almost as many different measurements. The boat Gods must have been smiling upon me, as my first test fit was as close...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore Here are the promised pics of progress, slow-but steady. Got my bilge box in yesterday & finished tabbing in last foot or so of outer stringers. I hadn't tabbed that area as I was waiting for box & tabbing to be all in one shot; tie them all together. Pleased with that...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore Just a quick update on the project. Stringer fab went easy this time. Guess I'm learning more each time. PL glued outer stringers to deck as had 3 days solid work at real job, so was in no hurry to cure. Did a few small tabs to keep in place while I worked on keel to...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore Well I've been able to sand, wire wheel, pressure clean, dremel, you name it, I've done it to the deep keel. Just about ready to plan repair/strengthening this area. I would appreciate some advice on my options for making this part of the boat not so susceptible to...

    14' Larivee restore

    Re: 14' Larivee restore Well I'm stumped & hope some of you can help me solve this quandary...this boat has an extremely deep keel, especially in the front. As you can see, better part of 5" deep up front. Luckily, there isn't a ton of PB or resin clumped up down there that I need to use any...
