    Transom plate sealant question

    So on the inside of the transom there are metal plates on top and below them is a pretty large gap before the bottom inside of the boat. To verify, I dug between that gap with a long thin rod a little and the pictures show that the wood between is definitely rotted. The space below the plates is...

    Transom plate sealant question

    What I’m leaning toward doing is getting everything ready to mount (including drilling the new hole locations in the CMC plate and transom, but before tightening the bolts I would push as much marine Tex into the crack I created then tighten everything and surround the outside edges of the...

    Transom plate sealant question

    So I finally pulled the trigger on a used CMC power tilt and trim for the Jon boat. Before taking the old motor off, I saw that the outside portion of the transom had an 1/8” thick aluminum plate attached, that the motor had mounted to. Unfortunately the size of the plate was just a little...

    Thanks, I was trying to figure out if a used actuator i had access to would work to replace one that was for sale with a broken one, but seems like they made them pretty specifically for that one model

    Weak tell tale after electric work

    I usually keep string trimmer line on boat in case tell tale is clogged but couldn’t find it on water so tried pushing in 40# fishing line (thickest I had on boat). May not have been enough to clear a potential clog. Pushed string trimmer line in once home but unable to test at the time but will...

    Weak tell tale after electric work

    I recently had to splice in a new 8 pin wiring harness from the remote key switch line to my 1985 mercury 35 hp el motor because I had a bad connection and it melted the old wiring. I spliced each of the 8 wires separately with heat shrink solder connectors and then bound them all together with...

    Adding power tilt and trim to manual motor

    I recently purchased a Jon boat with a 1985 mercury 35 hp el long shaft motor with manual trim. Im wanting to change to power tilt and trim and I see that at the time the motor was originally made, mercury also offered power trim option. I have seen a used power t/t that says for mercury 1984-93...
