    Searching for LOWE'S SEA NYMPH SC175BL Owners Manual Content

    Boat manufacturers typically didn't/don't publish any sort of significant manual. So, it's not unusual to find one. The motor will have plenty available though.

    Fuel Fill Hose

    Look HERE based on your powerplant. Car alternator needs to come out and be replaced by a marine alternator. There are more differences, particularly the spark sheilding. Welcome aboard.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Approximately 300 structures "affected," but not all of them were destroyed (I've heard around 100). A couple of injuries but no deaths in the fires up in the Smokies. Sounds like the crews have them mostly controlled at this point - but they were having a couple of very dry days again (which is...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Saw the plume on the way in, but we're staying about 10 miles East. There were a lot of evacuation notices the night we got here, but they all cleared the next morning; and it sounds to me like the locals were mostly allowed to go back home. Getting around the area hasn't been any problem; and...

    A little time with family, and some trout fishing in the Smokies this week:

    Info on this boat

    LOL ... we have a couple of fiberglass rowboats from the 50s that go fine. They look awful, but they just keep on going. The nice thing about that boat of yours is that you can pretty much see everything that's going on: if it's floatin' it's workin' for the most part. The 15 may push it a...

    Info on this boat

    It'll be nearly impossible to know which of the manufacturers made it for Wards: there were around six of 'em. If there's no HIN on the stern, then that boat is pre-1972. Which means the data HERE will give you an idea; but not a complete answer. Boat looks like it's late 60s to me, but that's...

    Need help IDing my first boat

    If you can comfortably stand on one of those seats, and cast without that boat tipping - it's a "reasonable" simulation of a casting deck. I've been proven wrong plenty in my life, so perhaps I am. But I'd be surprised if you can do that comfortably, and consistently, in that boat. Could that...

    Need help IDing my first boat

    I think you can add some storage to it, but weight isn't your only concern with this boat. The beam is narrow on this hull. Adding stuff like a casting deck would dramatically affect the center of gravity on this little guy. You'll be more of a circus acrobat than a fisherman on it. That could...

    Re-upholstery Job on Cruisers Yacht 338 Bowrider

    You might be pleasantly surprised to find that not having that seam on the bottom is a little more comfortable too. Looks great Ted.

    I'm struggling to come up with more words: it isn't quite enough to say Don was a good friend and I'll miss seeing him online. Fair winds Don.

    Spare Stern Drive

    I think that's less of a joke than one might think. Lots of people try to cobble something together to save money. And I'm not sure I would avoid anything specifically beyond that: I have seen drives that live in salt that are well cared for and work right. I'll take that over a fresh water...

    daily music fix

    Cool story. My family has always had art/music going on in the background. Dad was a good baritone singer. Like your dad, had a few cracks at it but it never went anywhere. To this day, there are songs that no matter who sings 'em ... I hear Dad's voice boomin' away.

    0mc 800 outdrive tilt gear adjustment

    To me those photos suggest something isn't situated correctly, or something is bent/messed up.

    0mc 800 outdrive tilt gear adjustment

    I guess my point is that the quadrant gear is a pretty stout piece of metal, that's bolted (with some not-so-sissy bolts) to another rather stout piece of metal. Assuming they're bolted together properly, then there's no reason the teeth of the clutch gear shouldn't meet the teeth of the...
