    16' 1972 Alumacraft

    Hi everyone, The transom on the boat is rotted and not safe. What should I use to replace it and how do I go about it so I minimize the damage to the aluminum if any? I run a 15 hp on it and have had up to a 30. But now only have the 15. If you know the type it's a small fishing...

    Skeg Hit

    I pulled my boat out and forgot to raise the motor and the skeg abraided about .5 inches, will this cause any harm? It still extends down past the propeller an inch or so.

    force trim and tilt

    Hi, I have a 95 force 120 and the first time since last summer, I tried the t & t and it will go up but not down, Does anyone know what I should try before I take to the dealer? From the very highest point it will go down only about 3 or 4 inches and then seems to bind. Should I lube the linkage?
