    What tank connection is correct for Evinrude?

    I pulled the tank connection and hose this morning before heading to work so that I can stop by Gander Mountain at lunch. Both ends of the hose fit snug and snap into place on the motor, but they both wobble at the tank connection. The hose is labeled OMC but I am still looking for ID numbers...

    Approximate speed with 6hp, 10hp and 15hp?

    Evinrude 6hp power feels like half throttle wide open...

    ...this was my first outing with the motor on my Lowe 1457 and it was not without some problems. It would start on the third pull, one for choke and then two to start. It idled fine and the gears worked without extra noise. The previous owner installed a new hose fitting on the tank that did...

    Would a rudder help when trolling?

    I've never owned my own boat or trolling motor and now I have both. I am using a MinnKota 40 on my 14' Lowe V1457 and the wind has been strong the last couple of days. I've mounted it on the transom and also at the bow and in both situations I spend more time farting with the tiller than I do...

    This is a shot in the dark but I am hoping someone in the general forum may be able to answer my question. I have a 1960's Car Top Fisherman made by MFG. I cannot find a HIN on the transom. The boat has been painted several times and aircraft paint remover is not working well at all. The USCG...

    Bought a Sea Nymph 1457 today...

    ...I managed to get a great deal on a 1457 today. I won't pick it up until Thursday but it will be well worth it! It appears to be in awesome condition from the photos the fellow sent me and well worth the drive to get it. I will post pictures once I get it home. This time I made sure the boat...
