    Impeller Question

    I have ordered a new impeller for my Chrysler made Sea King. The new impeller is a 6 blade. The old (original impeller is an 8 or 12) The place I am buying the impeller from guarantees it to work as good or better than the original. My question is this: Will the 6 blade pump water as well as the...

    The First Fish Of 2010

    I just thought I would post this pic of the perch I caught when Dave Jr and I went fishing this past week. It sure was nice getting out on the water after all the months of being cooped up due to the cold and snow. It was a beautiful day. 72 degrees no wind until early afternoon. Only the one...

    Perplexing Problem

    I am a big fan of the "old" Garcia Mitchell Open face spinning reels. My wife found a really nice 301 at a yard sale a while back. As I have several reels already. I put it up to save for future use. With wintertime here and a large snow accumulation, I dug the reel out the other day to pass the...

    Need some advice and info

    I found a 1955 - 22 hp Sea King for sale. It has clear title and runs great. The Guy has it in a tank and ran it through all it's paces. He said it is an OMC made Sea King and that Evinrude and Johnson parts will fit it. He is asking 300.00 for it. I really like it and would like to take it on...

    Whooo Whooo our snow is gone!

    Well I am happy to report that all of our snow here in central MO (my area anyway) is gone. We had some rain today and some warmer temps. Not much longer now. When the rain quits I'm heading to the lake. :D

    Any one Ever hear of this motor?

    I have a friend of mine that was cleaning out a small shed on his property. In the process he found two old outboard motors. He remembered his Dad having and using the motors when he was a kid but not being a boater never fooled with them. Now he thinks he would like to get them going again...

    Thrust = Hp ?

    I have been wondering, aprox what horsepower would 28 lbs. thrust be? The reason I ask is because I have a 1 1/2 hp. Johnson outboard. Would this be much different from a 28 lb. thrust Minn Kota trolling motor I also own? Thanks and God Bless. Dave

    Funny Boat launch On You Tube

    I don't claim to the brightest feller on the pond but this launch proves some folks should stick with bank fishing. It's a little long winded and from a distance but still worth a look. :D Dave http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOmvW05f7so&feature=related

    Need Some Help/Info Please

    Hello. I have a 1973 Sea King 9.6 hp. motor. I recently changed the lower unit grease in it. My question is: How much grease does an outboard of this size hold? When I drained the unit I only got aprox 1 1/2 to maybe 2 oz. of grease out of it. I was thinking that the grease had possibly leaked...
