    FIRST - THIS MOTOR IS NOT FOR SALE ON THE FORUM Hi All, So I was cleaning out the basement (foundation issues - UGH ) and came across a 1951 Evinrude 3hp outboard (I think it's a 51 - can't remember) Anyhoo, I do still have all the original paperwork and manuals with it and it seems to be in...

    My trailer has no axle????

    As shown in the pictures, my chariot trailer has no axle. The spindles are mounted in an armature built into the frame. I'm hoping to add breaks to the trailer but the kit I am looking at requires a backing plate that is not present here. The cost is negligible between purchasing the...

    Need some help finding a boat

    Here's a twist on this over used thread title. I have said previously on here that we sold my late father's boat some years ago at the request of my recently passed grandmother. Longer story shorter, boat was the last thing my father purchased prior to his untimely death in 1972. (I was a year...

    Volvo 4.3 Temprature sender

    I have not been able to find a definitive answer on this. I have a 1996 Volvo Penta 4.3 GS PNCS (4bbl carburetor) with Cobra outdrive. My temp gauge is not working and I initially thought it was a loose wire under the dash but since replacing that it's still not working. So I thought I would...

    Mods, if this is not the place for this thread, feel free to move it. 1996 Mariah Shabah 180 SE My new (to me) boat came in really nice shape but mostly original shape, meaning it still had a Jensen AM/FM Cassette stereo with only 2, very weak, 5 inch speakers. For the kids in the audience...

    Marine Stereo Recommendations

    Hi All, Well the wife and I will be picking up our new(er) boat today. Our old boat had a decent stereo in it so I never bothered to mess with it since it was the "starter boat" and the stereo was antiquate. The new(er) boat is in my opinion AWESOME and since it has what I assume is the stock...

    Another "Noob looking for boat advice" thread

    So my wife and I are considering getting a boat and I found a nice Wellcraft 182S Sport here in KC,MO. I have heard good things about Wellcraft in general but I am concerned by two things. 1. The boat is a 1992 so it's 20 years old 2. It's only 18 foot I have seen newer boats (late 90's to...
