    Vent hole question

    I have a ss prop on my 1975 85 hp Evinrude on my 1975 Glastron tri-hull. The prop came with plugs for the vent holes, but I've never installed them. The boat seems to run fine, but I'm curious to know if I would notice any improvement with the plugs installed. Any ideas or suggestions would...

    I am having a problem with my Bottom Line depth finder (transom mount). I'm getting no numerical depth reading at either slow speeds or at rest. There doesn't seem to be any problem once I'm on plane. I've made sure it is clean and tried making the "turbulance" adjustment as suggested in the...

    1975 85 hp Evinrude won't start!

    I ran this motor @ 5 times this past year with no problem. I took it in to my dealer to have it winterized and was told that at this time the motor would crank but not start (apparently due to no spark). Does anyone have a "best guess" as to the problem?

    Trolling motor wiring help

    I have a Minn Kota 65W transom mount trolling motor with a 2-wire (alligator clip) set-up. All I really want to do is install some type of plug-in set-up to simplify connecting and disconnecting it to the battery. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanx!

    Fuel storage question

    I had my 1975 85 hp Evinrude 2-stroke dealer-winterized at the end of the 2006 season. I also had my 2 6-gallon fuel tanks filled and "Stabilized". The boat was garaged but not used this past season. Any opinions as to whether I should drain the tanks and refill or should I be good to go...
