    How to ID this trailer

    Just an update... Secretary of State say that if I can't find a VIN for the trailer then I will need to assign a new one. Could someone please advise where the sticker or stamp should be on what appears to be a 'package' Sea Nymph trailer? Somewhere around the tongue I assume? Thanks.

    How to ID this trailer

    Well, not this trailer exactly but I have one that looks like it. Original to the boat I think (90' Sea Nymph GLS195). I just took the boat home last week and realized I don't have the registration for the trailer, just the title for the boat. He says he can't find the registration so before...

    I have a 72 100HP johnson that I want to run in a tub/barrel The tub I currently have can only full the water up to where the lower unit starts (just above the cavitation plates). It is considerably above the intake where I normally put the flush when running on a hose. Is this ok to run or...

    Newb questions on 100HP 72' Johnson

    Picked up a compression tester on the way home from work the other day. It has a screw in fitting with an etched ring at the end to grab on while tightening in to spark plug hole. Are these things only supposed to be finger tightened? I ended up only finger tightening and each cylinder read...

    Any guess on my model of Thompson?

    All I know is that is a 1976 Tri Hull Outboard. I'll post a picture as soon as I can find one. It has a rounded bow (as in not squared) and is 17.5 feet. Any guesses without a picture?
