    HELP! 2000 Silverline Window

    At least 2-3 companies will manufacture out of acrylic if you have a broken window. It’s spendy

    7.5 gamefisher

    My girlfriends father has one of these for his little boat. Never had it running. Spins with compression. I know it’s not a first choice in fact I have a good running evinrude 4hp to give him. But what should we do to get it going? I know it’s a techumseh 2 stroke power head. Will a 4hp plane a...

    1958 Starcraft Jupiter

    It says 4 passangers at 150 lbs or 700lbs combined as I recall But then like 935 including the motor. I have a Holiday 14 so one size smaller than a Jupiter I think

    Trim/tilt rams: delete?

    No offense but if you can’t afford the pump, you can’t afford the fuel. Check ebay as used pumps are often found for little of nothing ( in marine parts cost terms ) and the biggest failure is the relays. They are serviceable units

    Bow mount fuel tank. Balance?

    I’m not sure the transom has space for tabs. It may really need a whale tail. Even though I don’t like the idea

    Ram 5.7L hemi engine tick, misfire cyl 3

    Yup. My girlfriend has a 15 ram Hemi that started ticking. Friend of mine has a 16 that has the misfire. I told her to have it checked because it’s either the manifolds or the valve train on those. Both are common. I’d put a used engine in it and redo the cams

    1972 20hp Sea King... Any parts avail

    It's a Chrysler. Some stuff can be had. I would forgo the purple dye and use marine TCW3 oil and marine gear oil as well. TCW3 is made from a different oil base and marine gear oil has emulsifiers for situations like a leaky lower unit

    08 Mustang Advice

    Those have 2 chains and the idlers are always a mess.. Requires pulling engine. Usually means used or new engine. Many shops won’t do chains on them

    Bow mount fuel tank. Balance?

    I know a doel fin may work but drilling a $6k motor is a last resort. Doing the 30hp conversion is on my mind but voids warranty

    Delta Dawn- ‘72 Chieftain

    Splash well generally can stay. You pull the caps and the strip over the transom and in bolt the splash well supports off the transom and it pulls out. Coosa is a good option but not required

    Roller To Bunk Conversion

    I do boat until November. It is a little chilly then. I might try running the trailer a little more shallow next time and see what it does.

    Roller To Bunk Conversion

    I kinda find it refreshing. The reason the trailer works is because the bunks catch the strakes and bring it straight on. I probably don’t need to run it so deep

    Boat trailer leaf springs+hubs

    If this is a smaller boat trailer. Calculate cost of renovation vs buying new. I was in a similar situation and found a new trailer for about the same cost as renovation

    Roller To Bunk Conversion

    yup, because I float the boat most of the way on. It's easy and quick

    Bow mount fuel tank. Balance?

    I have just a small cooler for a few drinks. But no alcohol on the boat.

    Roller To Bunk Conversion

    I bought my venture bunk trailer brand new and it’s absolutely the best to launch and retrieve. I back it in until the bunks are just above the water to retrieve and pull it on. Always straight. Water is knee high or so doing that but it works perfectly

    Bow mount fuel tank. Balance?

    I didn’t think of doing that. I’ll have to try it. I really don’t want to use a whale tail

    Bow mount fuel tank. Balance?

    My boat could use some stern lift for the 25hp to work better. Would moving 6 gals portable from the stern to 12 gal permanent tank in the bow help?
