The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Re: Changing transom wood
Remember that the upper 1" of wood is only 1 1/8" thick. This is so it can fit inbetween the upper aluminum channel. The rest is 1 1/2" so you can glue 2 3/4" pieces together to get the thickness and then machine the upper portion.
Here are a few photos with...
I work in PennYan NY right near the old boat company. A fellow employee's dad was president of PennYan boats from 1961 to the 80s. My cohort saw a photo of an Orion on my desk top and asked what it was. He recalled the catalogs he had at home of the Duratech boats. He also told me the...
Has any one wired trailer lights on a 2004 Ford Taurus? Could you give me the wire colors and where you tie-in. I have paid a garage to to this already but I am not sure if they did it correctly. My clearance lights do work but do not light the led on my tester. Also if I turn on the brakes and...
How do I start this motor without being connected to the electric starter harness? I have disconnected the starter harness from the motor at the plug connection. Its in poor condition. Can I just place the speed lever to start while in neutral and pull the recoil handle?
I finally took some photos from outside the garage. Still have a bunch to do. I just got a 1958 Johnson 35 hp Super Seahorse that I am revitalizing to add to the boat. Enjoy!
I have a RDS-20 1958 Johnson 35hp super seahorse I am trying to revitalize. It is electric start but It also has a recoil starter. How do you stop this engine if you are using the manual recoil starter and not the key start option?
I just picked up a 1958 Johnson super seahorse 35 hp. I thought this year motor had dual fuel lines, this seems to have the modern type fuel fitting could this be correct?
I need to replace both lower unit plugs, drain and fill including the small seals. Does any one know if any current parts...
I had a small chart light mounted in the dash of my 1964 orion. Was this a standard on duratech boats? I am not sure if it works. I think it worked of the navigation light switch. Does any one have a working model. It looks like a cigarette lighter in a way.
I was given an old model 217585931. It does run.I found oil leaking from the exhaust hole. It looks as if the oil is coming from the short section of shift rod that goes into the lower unit.I checked the oil and it is milky. I believe I will have to dismantle the lower unit to replace the o ring...
Have any of you changed the wood at the transom? Any info would be useful. I have a 1964 Orion that I am restoring that will need new wood installed. I'll post some photos soon. The boat is in fairly good shape.
