    12' Aluminum Boat Cover

    I was looking at boat covers and want one I can tow with so that I can throw my life jackets, etc. inside the boat without worrying about them blowing out. Has anyone put a towing cover on a boat this small. Looking for feedback and recommendations. The "Endura" cover looks nice.

    Oil Injection Tank

    I bought a boat and motor (1965 75HP Johnson) that came with some type of oil injection tank. It has two wires going to the tank and a hose (similar to fuel hose) coming out of the tank. Can anyone steer me to a manual or installation instructions, etc. so I can figure out what I actually have?

    Small boat transom pad/plate

    Just finishing up my new transom on my little 12' Starcraft. I though I had seen someone advertise a type of aluminum plate that screws to the transom and then the small clamps of the motor clamp against the aluminum. Anyone that can provide a lead for manufacturers?

    1987 15hp Propeller Cotter Pin

    Does anyone know the actual size of the cotter pin used for the propeller? It is Evinrude Part # 0328522. I want to but it locally at a hardware store as there is no Evinrude dealer locally and ordering a $.50 part on line is expensive to ship.

    Aluminum Oxide

    I am replacing the transom on my 1964 12' aluminum Starcraft and the rear handles have a lot of white powder on them. I have softly wire brushed them but their textured surface doesn't lend itself to this type of cleaning. Does anyone know of another way to clean these?

    1965 Starcraft Bahama Gel Coat Match

    Has anyone tried to match the color of the Bahama, sort of a turquoise color. If so, wondering if you have the magic formula of color mix.

    Fill Lower Unit for Winter?

    I bought a boat to restore with a 65 Johnson 75hp on it. I drained the lower unit to make sure there was no water before winter (boat is outside and will see low temperatures). I have the new oil for the lower unit but since I found about a teaspoon of water in the lower unit am thinking new...

    Prisma Preforms Stringer Replacement

    Curious if anyone has used the Prisma Preforms for stringer replacement? I spent some time on the phone with them and they are very high on my list for stringer replacement next spring. They also have a decking material that I am considering as well. I am now waiting for their sample kit but...

    Motor Cover Restoration

    I have a 1965 Johnson 75 hp that I just picked up and the motor cover had a big gouge in it. I think this was from the cover blowing off while the boat was being towed on a trailer. Is there any guidance or do it yourself pointers to how to restore the cover? I did find another used one, but...

    1965 Starcraft Bahama?

    Bought a boat last Saturday that I believe to be a 1965 Starcraft Bahama. Unfortunately, the title states it is a 1970 home made boat likely because the previous owner didn't have the original documentation. Motor model number plate definitely shows 1965 75HP Johnson, which I think was the...

    Need help identifying this Johnson 50 hp (Fatty?)

    I bought a 1970 Starcraft boat this past Saturday with thoughts or restoration (another story :eek:). It came with a 50 hp 90 degree 4 cylinder Johnson outboard. I was told by the previous owner it was a "69-1/2", whatever that means. I have since found it is likely a 59, but per the photos I...

    1985 (1987) 15 hp Thermostat Cover Torque Value Needed

    I have a 1987 15 hp Evinrude that has the earlier design thermostat cover. Unfortunately, my service manual doesn't cover this early design and therefore I don't have torque values for the bolts. Does anyone have an earlier manual with the torque value and need for sealant? What sealant can...

    Terminal Extender?

    Got my DVA in today and checked the Sensor Coil and Charge Coil, both are within specifications. I want to check the Power Pack but I need a way to extend the terminal on the coil. Can these be bought locally or is there a home made version? One of my coils is out of specification on the...

    1987 15hp Power Pack Troubleshooting

    Hi, First post. I just picked up a 1987 15hp Evinrude as a stablemate to my 1956 7-1/2hp Evinrude. The 15hp has a CDI ignition but not spark. I have checked the ohms back through the cable to those parts under the flywheel and they are higher then those specified in the CDI troubleshooting...
