    stringer repair

    My Angler boat has a wooden stringer between the hull and the floor that has rotted. I'm concerned that this is going to weaken the hull strength.

    waves or wakes?

    Just read a posting on how to take a wave. What is the difference between a wave and a wake? I always thought they were the same, just using the terminology depending on where you came from. :rolleyes:

    1967 Johnson 33 hp

    My question is what is supposed to keep the magneto plate from moving to the kill position? This engine purrs like a kitten and all works well but when I'm on the water at WOT after about 5 minutes it just dies like the key has been turned off. :confused:
