    Cheap Stereo Documentation Question

    Apple deleted most of my Mp3s from my phone, I had about 8000 songs, and now it is down to 1500. I prefer CDs and in a pinch, USB Flash Drives, but the latter are a PIA to navigate

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    My two Flagship Nikons(not my picture, or Cameras, but I do have both of them), 40 yrs separate them. The F3 with the Motor Drive could do a blistering 6 frames per second. The Z9, can do up to 120 frames per second.

    Add telltale pee hole to 1965 Johnson 75 HP

    I put the Bow of that Evinrude underwater in 77 with a Following Sea, came over the Crest of a White Cap, chopped the Throttle a bit too much and a Wall of Water came over the Windshield. Took on close to 40 gallons of water.

    Nobody fishing?

    I haven't fished since the moment I was told I had to clean what I caught. That was in 1974. I will go to the Supermarket, give someone there a package of frozen Fish, and tell them to toss it to me, that way I can honestly say that I caught it

    Add telltale pee hole to 1965 Johnson 75 HP

    I was selling it. However I did flip/roll one my dads boats back in 1976. Mildly rough with white caps, and while running in the Troughs, one caught the boat and rolled over. I was only a couple of hundred feet from shore, and it was quite Shallow. I picked my self out of the water, and saw a...

    1976 Evinrude 35HP water leaking from front of exhaust housing?

    Welcome to iboats Those are Drains for the Exhaust Housing(Exhaust Housing is filled with water, to cool the Exhaust Tube, and to silence the Motor), water coming out of them is normal. You usually don't see it when in a boat, cause a low speed they are under water, and at speed, most people...

    Add telltale pee hole to 1965 Johnson 75 HP

    Don't toss the Oil out, if sealed in the Tubes/Bottles it will be fine, Give it a Good Shake, in case the Additives have settled. I'm sorry that you feel I was gruff, but to me, you think you have a Solution to a Problem that doesn't exist. These engines have a Stat that is fully open by 145...

    Cracked beam an issue?

    Bracing/reinforcement of the Cracked Areas is needed. Some of those Rivets should also be checked as they would have seen a lot of Stress before those beams failed

    Add telltale pee hole to 1965 Johnson 75 HP

    You want to add something really does nothing, yet you boast about it supposedly still having the original Impeller from 58 yrs ago... A new Impeller would be better insurance against Overheat. Temp Switches are still available. Being an Electric Shift, make sure you use the correct Gear Oil...

    Add telltale pee hole to 1965 Johnson 75 HP

    That HOT Lamp is Plenty Bright, as I remember our 63 40hp lighting it up. The switch closes at about 160F, so it is far from Instant Death. A Horn replacing the Light would be better as you will hear it, when your not watching the Dash. Even a Tel Tale isn't going to be of much use at once you...
