I thought this would be a easy piece to find but I'm having a hard time. I finally found a website that has them, I added 4 (2 for spares) to my cart and when I...

    Navigation lights vs. anchor lights

    I have a 17' Lowe Roughneck. It has a white pole light (360* visibility) on the back and a red/green light on the front. Is the back light the anchor light and the front the navigation light?

The only thing is, it was throwing one heck of a rooster tail. I think maybe the motor needed tilted down...

    bad kill switch?

    I recently bought an '88 Evinrude, 25hp, electric start, tiller motor. Mounted it on my Bass Tracker, sat it in the drum, started it up to check for leaks. Well, I hit the kill switch on the end of the tiller handle and the motor wouldnt quit. Had to pull the fuel line off. I checked the wires...
