    1992 40hp Nissan NS40C vs a 1988 40hp Nissan NS40C-Parts compatibility?

    Hello; I just brought another boat & it had a 1988 40hp Nissan outboard NS40C. The starter is shot (it was all rusted to Hell-I'm guessing it's the original). With the help of a neighbor friend of mine, I cleaned it up & tried rebuilding it but, it still doesn't function properly. The starter is...

    Straight to the point: I am looking for a boat narrower than a jon/rowboat boat with a V-Hull front but wider & more stable than a canoe for the river I mentioned in a previous post. Is there such a thing as a row boat canoe crossover boat? Not interested in a Drift Boat (from what I've seen...

    Jet Propulsion Jon Boat question?

    Hello all; I fish a river in mid-Michigan called The Shiawahsee River (bottom is 98% of the time gravel & the occasional big smooth rock). One minute it can run from 3'-5' & the next 2"-3" deep. Where I live there is no public launch within 20 miles. The current speed I am guessing is 3-4mph...

    Has anybody here ever owned a "Sun Dolphin Pro 120" boat?

    Hello all; [B]I have an opportunity to purchase one of these boats on a custom trailer for about $350.00. It's in great shape. Yes, I know it's only 12' long 5' wide but, since I fish 90% of the time by myself & the other 9% with my 10 year old daughter (1% with my excuse-laden buddies) I was...

    I need clarification on this, please...

    I found a starter & bracket for a 35 hp 1957 Evinrude/Johnson. Will it work on a 1957 Evinrude 18 hp? I think it will but, just wanted to double check before dolling out the hard-to-come-by-these-days cash. Thanks P.S. If the answer is yes, I'm giving serious thought to swapping flywheels...
