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.
Hi All
Like the title says I want to glue a transducer to my transom. It's a 1960's 14ft aluminum with no existing holes even for the motor. (I just have an 8 HP I mount with only the clamps on the motor.) Anyways I really don't want to put any holes in it if I don't have to. The boat is a...
Hi all
New to electric trolling motors. Finally made the plunge because so many lakes near my house are electric only. Anyways I've got a standard deep cycle battery linked below. I also have a basic car battery charger already. Is that okay for charging this or should I buy something specific...
Hi All
I've been fishing fresh water for a while and need a better boat to fish for salmon. I'm looking at 14-16 ft fiberglass boats and was hoping for some advice.
I will be fishing in the georgia straight (between vancouver island and vancouver). I'm thinking about a 70-90 hp motor with an 8...
I happened on this by accident. Usually my 97 evinrude 8 hp 2 stroke takes 5-10 pulls to get going when cold. Yesterday I primed the tank and forget to open the valve. It was left that way about five min while I put it in the water. I pulled the choke and it started first pull. The only reason I...

Here is my plan. Lemme know if Ive gone wrong.
Clean...
Good morning

Hi all
New to boating and would appreciate some advice.
I just got my first boat. Used 14 ft aluminum (dunno what kind exactly it was a gift). I've got a mid 90's 8 hp 2 stroke evinrude on it for getting around.
I'd like to have new reliable small 4 stroke kicker motor on there just in case...
Hi all
New to the forum and new to owning a boat too. I had a 14 ft aluminum gifted to me recently (family heirloom I suppose, 1960 something) and I need an outboard for it.
I'm pretty sure I want an 8-10 HP motor giving both fuel and power consideration. I'm a little back and forth on the 2...
