    Part Identification

    From what I can see, it appears you have somevserious corrosion issues on that tank. I would drain and remove it, if it were my boat...does not appear to be safe, fuel leaks and fires do not go well in boats !!!!

    Bimini top advice needed

    They are easy to set up and down in my opinion, never had an issue. Foldvthem back and slip on a boot and it all stays nice and neat. Boot takes longer to install than folding the bimini !! Now, with that said....if you do a lot of standing, then they are great, but if you sit a lot, the...

    Are wheel locks the way to go?

    Anti-Rattle solutions

    The only issue for me is...I remove my draw bar after every outing, to much of a pain to go thru that each time I use my trailer. I prefer making the required adjustments to my hitch to stop the rattles....to each his own, but once I have mine fixed, just pull the pin or install the pin and go.

    1997 20HP Evinrude E20CREUM Owners manual?

    Clymer nanuals can be pretty generic, much better details in a factory service manual !! If you need to get into serious repairs and adjustments the Clymer manuals wont do it......as far as the kill switch button...idle the engine, then push the button..it just kills the ignition when pushed.

    New member here,not new to boats but never had to know the info I need now back then like I do now...LOL.

    Beforevyou get involved in the engines, I would do a very thorough inspection of the sub structure. Things like transom, stringers and any other wood sub structure that may contain rotted wood. Due to the boats age and appearance of poor care, there is a high probability of sub structure...

    Anti-Rattle solutions

    Yes, it will work, have done it before, but use a large bolt like 5/8" or bigger and flatten the end where it makes contact. Use a long enough bolt to allow an extra nut as a jam nut so it doesnt back out! If a small bolt is used it can dig in and leave a burr making the bar difficult to remove!

    Are wheel locks the way to go?

    I am not worried about home, I have a big barn to store my stuff in, and the barn had a security system that goes off in my house to let me know someone is in there, it allows me to meet them with my friends !!! In our 23 years here, I have had two unwanted visitors that have met my...

    1997 20HP Evinrude E20CREUM Owners manual?

    Check Ebay....most folks want a service manual for repairs and upkeep, very few are looking for an owners manual. Probably get better information from a factory service manual. I just bought a used service manual for my 92 40 hp Merc OB for 20 bucks, worn but still very usuable ....
