    1976 Tom Boy Boat, 1976 40 HP Johnson Outboard and who knows what Trailer

    Some new updates. Well today I put in a lot of hours. But sadly the pictures will not look very interest or even new because some times what you do is not going to show up in the pictures. But I have some to post anyways. I grinded all the fillets today in preparation for tabbing. Amazing how...

    No, when doing a resistance test you don't want to be cranking at that time. Does this layout look like your engine?

    any lawn folks here?

    I don't know about Fescue, but Centipede is a great lawn choice around where I live. And I use Scotts turf builder religiously three times a year. And my neighbors all look at me really funny when in the late fall I'm fertilizing what seems to be dead lawn (it is actually dormant). But this time...

    Abu Garcia Giveaway

    Okay I know this isn't a picture of a fish. But that is because I haven't fished in two years now. :eek: And that is because this is my boat project's original look as I decided to rebuilt it. So hope I can still enter. One other reason there is no fish picture, if I did post one, it would...

    Anybody ever used MDF on a boat project ?

    I realize that 3/4" MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is amazingly heavy, but the 1/2 " size is reasonable. And being how it is also very very easy to both cut and router and takes a sanding like butter, I was wondering if anybody has actually used to build anything for their boat. I have never...

    Navigation Light Issue

    I some times find a picture better explains things. So I made a little diagram to show how it should be wired for any SPDT or DPDT toggle or rocker type switch with a center off position. You will need one switch and one diode. The diode is really easy to find and any 1N4000 series diode will...

    1976 Tom Boy Boat, 1976 40 HP Johnson Outboard and who knows what Trailer

    Some more progress. Knowing it is getting time to cut the floor and install it REAL soon now, I thought about things I need to consider before quickly gluing the floor down and then needing to remove it because I forget to do something. So I thought about where everything was going to be...

    Need a round plug!

    Not sure if this electrical section is the proper place to post this or in the Johnson Engine forum. But here goes. I am presently working on my Tom Boy Boat project, that I'm sure many of you know about. Well I'm actually getting closer to needing to install some wiring and such in the boat as...

    Basic live well build ?

    I've searched and searched some more on here and while I have found bits and pieces on live wells, there just isn't one thread, that I have found anyways, devoted to building a basic live well. So here goes such a thread. And if this is in the wrong forum, please move it to the appropriate...

    1956 Evinrude Setting Point Gap

    Oh yea, after watching the short video, you have the coils set too far out from the center and it is hitting on the magnets under the flywheel's outer edge...it seems anyway. So as previously stated, loosen the coils and align them with the cast edges and no further out. And also make sure...

    1976 Tom Boy Boat, 1976 40 HP Johnson Outboard and who knows what Trailer

    A little more update of todays efforts. While it really doesn't look like much, it took a long time to make each cross brace, or bulkhead because no two were the same. So I had to hand script each one and cut and sand and do it again and again before getting the fit I needed to seal each...

    1976 Tom Boy Boat, 1976 40 HP Johnson Outboard and who knows what Trailer

    Here are some of those pictures I talked about. I initially made a simple slide around contraption so that anywhere on the boat I would have the same top to floor measurement to set both the floor supports (stringers and cross supports or bulkheads) and side supports at the exact same level...

    1976 Tom Boy Boat, 1976 40 HP Johnson Outboard and who knows what Trailer

    Another update for the stringers I'm STILL working on. I took the stringers and layout the side and middle ribs, or I guess being a boat project I should say bulkheads. I cut little dado joints in the two main stringers to help support the cross bulkheads for a few reasons. It makes absolutely...
