    I looked up the impeller link and ordered it with gaskets due to the age of the motor and 19 years in storage. Thank you for the link

    I went to the Nissan web site to get the OEM water pump kit and the site said it was down for repairs...Where do I find OEM for a Nissan 25hp 2cycle short shaft, pump part number (361873220M)

    The impeller is on my list. I noticed that it was still producing a good flow though. This 25hp Nissan will be pushing a 204pound, 1959 Alumacraft FD. This particular hull is rated for a 35hp but I think the 25hp tiller is big enough on this boat. I'm finishing up the trailer restoration setting...

    After cleaning and changing the lower oil I fired it up. It will smoke a little until the oil from storage is fully cleaned out.

    Great help, thank you both! The compression in a concern, not sure where the oil ended up and that could cause pressure...is causing high pressure. This is a 2003 Nissan 25hp, 2-cycle

    Rebuilding the trailer

    I have taken on the project of rebuilding the boat trailer, something I have never done. The trailer was sound and I brought the boat home on it but the bearings were a little loose and there was water inside the cap. There is a lot of rust on the frame, the lights need replacing, the winch and...

    I knew this motor would be in storage for a long time so I poured motor oil into the spark plug holes and cycled the engine it a time or two...not sure that was smart but now I want to get it running again. I pulled the spark plugs and cycled the engine again and it turns over freely. Why should...

    Alumacraft Year and Specifications

    Being the ever OCD oriented retiree, I'm going to need to find some details on the transom. This boat transom was buba repaired at some point and I will want to take it back to the original design specifications. Is there documentation available for the Aluminum top piece that is missing? The...

    Alumacraft Year and Specifications

    I just picked up a 13' 9-3/8" Alumacraft. The transom brace is stamped with FD-xxxx I have written Alumacraft for information on this boat. The boat is in pretty good condition. I want to replace the transom wood and fill in all the holes drilled by previous owners. Not sure how to get the...
