    Killing time

    I find it easy to pencil hole raccoons.

    Aluminum boat leaking

    I’m getting about a gallon an hour. But that’s down from the ten gallon an hour before repairs. The gals like boats.

    Dissapointed in 9.9 4 stroke

    Ya efi on a small engine isn’t worth it for fuel savings. Maybe worth it for easy starting. But I have a 20hp and a 5 hp and they both start easy enough for me. It may be possible to turn the low idle down.

    This doesn’t look right to me

    I don’t like the look of it either.

    One fuel line to two engines

    Great day on the water today. Nothing broke. Buddy pulled the rope to hold the boat on straight. I ran the kicker off the portable tank and it ran perfect. I’ll keep the kicker on the portable. I’m pulling the selector switch out and putting the main engine direct line to inboard tank...

    One fuel line to two engines

    I don’t have time for this. The boat gremlins are getting to me. I fix one thing and a bunch of others brake. I was on the water all day yesterday and I’m going tomorrow. Yesterdays new problems: lost end cap from cannon track. Big Jon Downrigger pops breaker. Fuel leaks from main engine...

    Great choice on the grey. Mine is grey inside too.

    View of unloaded trailer with pickups

    With My new boat I can’t see much. A little in each mirror but nothing but hull out the back. Once the boats off I can see the trailer ok. Biggest problem so far is every ramp is different. One is so shallow I can’t get the boat on straight and had to go to the other ramp to get it straight...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    It’s surprising how many hours it can take to get a boat the way you want it. I have about 300hrs into a new to me boat. Thank goodness it’s pretty much done.

    Trim went full up on it’s own

    I tapped the trim motor and now it works perfectly. Thanks for the help.

    Trim went full up on it’s own

    I pulled it all apart and cleaned the switch. The trim worked perfectly for a few cycles and then it stopped. I just get a click at the solenoids now. What is wrong with?

    Trim went full up on it’s own

    Great info. I guess I’ll pull it apart.

    Trim went full up on it’s own

    115 mariner. Quicksilver 3000 controls. Also tilt at bow and on engine. Start of season and everything seems ok but I notice a parasitic draw when I hook up the battery. I’m not sure what’s causing that but it seems like it may be related to the trim. So today I get to a fishing spot...

    Fuel came out overflow

    I made sure I could afford the gas before I bought this boat. It should be 5-10 gal per day of fishing. My friend just bought a boat with a 115 Yamaha. We talked about a 19’ with a 115 vs a 22’ with 250. I’m sure he’ll be happy at the fill ups.

    Fuel came out overflow

    Yes. I’m just getting used to this boat. I’m not sure how much gas I need for a day or how big the gas tank is. Trying to figure it out while not running out of gas. So far The tank is at least 24gal. And I figure 10gal will do for most days fishing.

    Fuel came out overflow

    I think I’ll try the don’t fill it so full method. Thanks.

    Fuel came out overflow

    1994 StarCraft super fisherman 190. I put fuel in (on dry land) and stopped when it kicked off. I didn’t put any more in after it kicked off. It took 100L. When I slowly pulled away from the pump about two cups of fuel came out the overflow. What can I do to stop this?

    Aluminum boat leaking

    I find the transducer screws leak. It seems people don’t put sealant on them. Sometimes it’s the drain plug. It seems like every old aluminum boat has a few loose rivets. I take on a gal or two in a day and I don’t worry about it as I get water in my boats when I’m fishing and it rains.

    1981 Springbok 18' Restoration/Renovation

    I had this problem. I put an extra layer of 1/2” plywood 20” square under each seat. I used toggle nuts to attach the seat bases after the floor was installed. I like pedestals so I can move my feet around during the course of the day. I often tuck my feet under the seat just to change...

    18ft Boat Launch with RWD Suburban

    Here’s my plan B as I have front wheel drive pulling 2400lb total. If it won’t pull it out unhook the boat and trailer. Then drive your tow vehicle to flat ground. Then put a tow strap on the trailer and pull it out.
