    Installing a larger carb on my 55 SeaKing 12

    I have my 12 HP SeaKing and was wondering if it would be possible to swap a larger throated carb from an Evinrude or Johnson, say a 15 or 18hp, to give more performance?

    Tiller joint problems

    I went and installed the new throttle gear on my SeaKing 12 yesterday and reinstalled the tiller. After installing the tiller I noticed the gears in the tiller joint were not meshing very well and skipping over themselves. Today I tried to install a washer on shaft that is in the tiller bracket...

    Well I went and picked up a vintage SeaKing 12 ft aluminum boat today for $120 with a set of 6 1/2' oars, they were originally asking $150 for it but I talked them down a bit because it needs a bit of work. At some point in the past it got a tear in the right side and the previous owner welded...

    Removing dents in a fuel tank "Gale 5D10"

    I decided to make a separate thread for this one as the other is more mechanical. I was reading through my Gale factory service manual and they outline a procedure for removing dents in fuel tanks. They basically say to attach an air line to the outlet of the tank and use a compressor to apply...
