    I recently brought my 1984 Suzuki DT50 in to have the motor looked at by a mechanic as I was originally having some serious speed problems with the motor seeming to somewhat bog down anything over slightly above idle speed.

    Self Filling Livewell question

    I have a 1981 Sportcraft Fisherman 170 SS that has a livewell/ baitwell up front on the deck. From what I've been able to gather ( I've had the bit less then a week now), it looks as though there is a single hose from an inlet that is on the side of the boat under the waterline. However our...

    Very long shot - is there a way to get wiring diagram from.a 78' Procraft

Just not hooked up properly. Or so I think. And so I'd like to just use what's in place and not have to run...

    Very n00b question about steering

    My steering is very difficult and I was told that it is shot and I should replace the cables (by not just one, or two people, but at least 3). So I posted a link to a few pictures I just took a shot of. But I guess my main thing is what is it that I have, and secondly, should I stick with the...
