    Changing the motor on a riptide

    I don't know why the thread was closed but to answer your question. If it is the composite (black) shaft use a heat gun and get it good and warm. It will loosen up. When reinstalling use locktite blue.

    My sons new transom

    I bought this boat for almost nothing. Its 39 years old and was sitting up side down in a lot. Don't even ask how I got it registered. Anyway. The transom was gone and the seats were pretty torn up. It had been in the top of a tree after a hurricane and never fixed. It won't break now.
