    Leaky boat. 99 smokercraft 150 stinger

    Gulvit is the one everyone used to talk about here, I think most applied it from the inside, not sure if it will work as well on the outside? If I'm looking at your picture right that's a second piece of aluminum riveted over the hull for strength so it's possible the water is leaking further...

    90 Etec tilt and trim pump leak

    I do have the manual but honestly hadn't looked at it yet, just online research. Thank you for confirming my suspicion! I only have 1 seal leaking, same as the ETEC owners poster, and anything more than a couple $$ seemed like highway robbery.......$230 for OEM is beyond crazy! Mine started...

    90 Etec tilt and trim pump leak

    I've looked for rebuild kits and prices range from $10 to $210 for the gaskets and o-rings. Anybody have any recommendations? None have any manufacturer listed and they all look about the same. I don't want to do this twice but spening 2-10X more for potentially the same thing kinda sucks...

    1978 70hp Stinger Outboard

    I'm looking at one for sale, he seems honest and says it ran great but now intermittently has no spark on any cylinder. Likely an easy fix but does anybody know much about these outboards? Are they decent motors, anything I should look out for. Are there parts available? Would it be worth...

    Is this a long shaft on a short transom and other questions

    So very undesirable then? Hard to get parts, it's going to need A LOT of parts, or all of the above?

    Is this a long shaft on a short transom and other questions

    I suppose in theory a person could simply rebuild the transom without that dip if it was a long shaft. I can't imagine it'd do 30 mph with a long shaft motor but who knows about the accuracy of his statement on that.

    Is this a long shaft on a short transom and other questions

    He's a couple hours away and the boat is currently drifted in with several feet of North Dakota snow with more on the way so he didn't seem too ambitious to go out and dig around it at the moment. As he said, "it's for sale but I can't sell it until I can get to it." I'd wait around for this...

    Is this a long shaft on a short transom and other questions

    Not exactly a rebuilding question but if I buy it I'm guessing if I buy this it will be a rebuilder as the quality looks questionable. The seller says he rebuilt everything but the transom. This is an older Crestliner, does that look like the original transom shape and splashwell? Is seems...

    Ford Axle Ubolts bending

    My kid has been working on his 01 F150 adding air bags, adding and removing an extra spring and some other stuff I don't understand........ After each go around of changing things around and he takes off the UBolts they come off bent. Any thoughts on why that may be happening?

    Sinking boat and life jacket storage

    Haven't been around much lately but wanted to post this one up because it's something I never would have thought about and on bigger water it would have been serious. I'll try keeping it short. We were sitting around the fire at the lake Sunday when I noticed a boat about 40 feet from shore...

    Concrete Advice

    Concrete question for you all, I'm building a bigger garage to fit the boat and my contractor is running way behind. Weather has been in the 20's to 40's and he wants to pour the driveway and an 8 inch curb around the garage to elevate the framing off the slab on Friday. (The garage slab was...

    Furnace Blower ECM module questions

    Furnace is a Bryant Plus 80V, but it's not a PSC motor. I'm guessing the 2 round things top/right corner of the pic are the start/run capacitors. The service guy I just talked with told me the fan has to be specific to the ECM module. Does that make sense at all? The motor on these is the...

    Furnace Blower ECM module questions

    Pretty sure the ECM module on my furnace is on it's way out. Had a problem with it 6-7 years ago and it turned out to be a Thermistor. At that time the repair guys would only replace the entire module for $450 so I replaced the $1.50 thermistor myself...which worked great until last week...

    Glass on wood boat question?

    Hope you don't mind helping with this one......technically it is a boat though! My kid is building a 4ft long RC boat out of Luan plywood. I can include pics tomorrow if it helps. He glued the 2 bottom pieces of hull and the 2 sides together with wood glue and fiberglass applied a coat of...

    Anybody build/built a gas RC boat?

    My 14 year old is looking for a summer project and came up with the idea of building a 4 ft RC boat. We're thinking of using a weed whacker engine or something similar around 26-30CC in size. The boat will be made with plywood. Anybody here do anything similar?

    Help with Reattaching Gunnel outer rail

    Trying to get her on the water this weekend for the first time in many years! Anybody have some insight on this one? About 8 feet of the outer rail has come unattached. My dad took this side off 10 years ago but forgot how. I'm guessing it must be riveted (you can see the holes). It has...

    Shifting question?

    I hope the IBoats gods can forgive me for double posting but the only views on this in the steering section were mine: Any help would be appreciated as we're in a big push to finally get this on the water for Labor Day weekend! I've been restoring all summer and starting to get things put...

    Wont shift into Forward?

    I've been restoring all summer and starting to get things put together. A couple nights ago I tried out the controls and it wouldn't shift into Forward. I took the cable off at the control and the shifter worked just fine. I took the cable off at the engine and the shifter worked just fine...
