    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    I used roll-on porch paint on the sides of my Kingfisher hull (deck too) and it has held up well. Easy to apply and durable. Touch-ups are easy as well. Sand/scuff a little, then repaint.

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Nice chub! :cool: I have one of those HF shop cranes and it worked very well moving motors around and getting the 50HP Merc mounted on the Kingfisher. (y) As for the plywood, yeahhh... we've all BTDT. On my KF, I replaced the rotted plywood console with 1/4" aluminum. :sneaky: Keep...

    Is this old Sylvan a good deal?

    I see that the listing has been deleted. Did you buy it? :unsure:

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    It was indeed. And it might not be over yet. I dunno, maybe I wasn't strong enough to resist my family's wishes to keep the KF. I'm not sure that my health is good enough to own a boat, much less two. I spent the entire 4th of July in the ER. Again. ☹️:sick: Might be time to let the boats...

    Garmin transducer

    The picture says they're 8mm long with 4mm diameter. Looks like they're maybe cap screws?

    Is this steam normal.. 1984 50hp Mercury

    My 1985 50HP Mercury doesn't do that. :unsure: Check at 0:54 seconds in.

    Is this old Sylvan a good deal?

    I have a 50HP Mercury on my 16 ft Starcraft Kingfisher and it's quite adequate. I'd expect the 45HP Mariner to be okay, even if not a speed demon. Wouldn't surprise me if it could go 25-30MPH. :cool:

    Is this old Sylvan a good deal?

    Looks fair to me.

    Got the wife a new RAV4 Prime

    I'm liking the new Genesis GV60. It's not available yet and the price is likely going to be out of my reach, but I'm a fan so far. (y) :) https://www.motor1.com/news/512686/genesis-gv60-new-spy-photos/

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Well, I almost sold the KF yesterday! 😲 Almost. 🤓 I had a contractor come over about my home project and he really liked the boat. I showed him some of the restoration pix and the splash video. Then he suddenly offered me $6,000! :eek: But, my wife and the boy made it absolutely clear in...

    Decent reels??

    Maybe get a used rig from Goodwill, etc.? I've seen rods & reels for just a couple bucks there. Might get a good reel attached to a bad rod for cheap.

    Yup, that's the same as my throttle. Glad that you got it worked out! (y)

    75 HP Mercury Bow Trim Up Does Not Work

    I had to replace the trim switch on my throttle handle. It was just old, beat up and worn out. (I can relate to that! :ROFLMAO: ) Mine is a 1985 Mercury 50HP with the Commander side control box. The switch part number is: 8M0046008 I had to slightly enlarge the hole in the handle a little...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Thank you, sir. :) My problem is being "too tough" to recognize when I'm in health danger! Hence my sig line. 😏 Sort of like this. :ROFLMAO:

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Thanks! Sounds like you've had a tough time getting things done too. Bummer about the break. :( I hope that it isn't giving you too much pain. A week after my last fishing trip on the KF with my family in March, I was hospitalized again for that same old GCA thing. I've always said that...
