Hello;
I just brought another boat & it had a 1988 40hp Nissan outboard NS40C. The starter is shot (it was all rusted to Hell-I'm guessing it's the original).
With the help of a neighbor friend of mine, I cleaned it up & tried rebuilding it but, it still doesn't function properly. The starter is...
Hello;
Back in February I purchased a 1988 Nissan 5hp (#NS5B). Looked great, started great, great compression, lower unit oil was great etc.. Anyway, the catch is..It's not pumping water (feel air but no moisture). I removed the lower unit, took off the pump housing bolts & low & behold there...
Hello;
I was told (by Johny 25) that the tech heads here know more than at Tinboats.net.
Anyway, I posed the following question there & inadvertently started a mini-war between 2 guys. :fencing:. :facepalm:

Straight to the point: I am looking for a boat narrower than a jon/rowboat boat with a V-Hull front but wider & more stable than a canoe for the river I mentioned in a previous post. Is there such a thing as a row boat canoe crossover boat? Not interested in a Drift Boat (from what I've seen...
Hello all;
I fish a river in mid-Michigan called The Shiawahsee River (bottom is 98% of the time gravel & the occasional big smooth rock). One minute it can run from 3'-5' & the next 2"-3" deep. Where I live there is no public launch within 20 miles. The current speed I am guessing is 3-4mph...
Hello all;
[B]I have an opportunity to purchase one of these boats on a custom trailer for about $350.00. It's in great shape.
Yes, I know it's only 12' long 5' wide but, since I fish 90% of the time by myself & the other 9% with my 10 year old daughter (1% with my excuse-laden buddies) I was...
Hello Gang;
Two days ago, I picked up (for a measly $50.00 :cool: ) a 14.5' Aluminum Run-About boat called a "Cherokee". Apparently the year is a 1963 with a 45Hp McColloch "Royal Scott" OB motor (boat has the original McColloch controls). Motor (the previous owner says) was partially rebuilt...
Hello;
I am looking at purchasing a 11ft boat made by a company called "Sea Sport".
It is NOT this company http://www.seasportboats.com/index.php
The boat kind of looks like a Boston Whaler Tender

I found a starter & bracket for a 35 hp 1957 Evinrude/Johnson. Will it work on a 1957 Evinrude 18 hp? I think it will but, just wanted to double check before dolling out the hard-to-come-by-these-days cash. Thanks
P.S. If the answer is yes, I'm giving serious thought to swapping flywheels...
Hello all Newbie here; :)
An individual over at tinboats (BassBoy) recommended your site & I've been silently observing the forums and was impressed by how many no nonsense, knowledgeable folks participate in these forums. Anywho onto my questions..
I just recently recieved a 18 hp 1957 Evinrude...
