    Help with a seat post???

    Why did the post raise up and how do I fix it? It just went up last time out. It will go down when you sit on it, but then back up (like it's under pressure) when you get up. New to boating and this boat.

    What do these knobs do?

    My best guess is this is a 1962 Sea King made by Gale and sold through Monkey Wards. I have found a service manual, but no owner's manual. The starting instructions are in the shroud, but do not explain what the "high speed" or "slow speed" do. Never seen such a thing before. HELP!!

    What have I got here?

    Came with my 2000 Lowe. Says it runs but who made it? How old is it. The kind of info you need if ordering parts.

    Fuel question(s)

    Recently bought a 200 Lowe FM165s with a 50hp Johnson 2 cycle. My Bro-in-law suggested getting rid of all the fuel and start with fresh. Don't know how old the fuel is. He also thought I should only put ethanol-free gas in it. What do y'all think?

    Bunk Boards or Guide Poles?

    New here and couldn't find a search engine for this ??? . . . So, my trailer needs either bunks or poles. First, which would you recommend? And if one or the other, what size do you recommend?

    Understanding the numbers on my boat?

    Just got a 2000 FM165S with a 50 hp Johnson. The seller swears the outboard is 4 cycle. But the manual says it's a 2 cycle. So . . . WTF? The serial number (J50PLSS) tells me make, hp, shaft length, etc, but not what I need. There's a model number (G 04770364) that I can't interpret. And...

    Value of "Vintage" outboard?

    It's a five hp Sea King from the early 60's. Does run good! Is there much of a market for these older outboards? Have the motor, tank, hoses, and kicker bracket included.

    Hole repair (fill) in transom

    Will be removing the kicker mount and will need to fill the holes left behind. It is an aluminum Lowe boat (2000) and not sure what the transom is made of or what product would work best.

    Value of a 2000 Lowe sea nymph v FM165S

    Looking at buying this boat. And want to know roughly the price range I should expect to pay. VERY tough question I know. "Something is worth the most someone will pay for it" And varies by region. But the NADA is about $2000 less than asking price. Boat is in very good condition all around. Has...

    Curious about Sylvan boats

    Looking at this '99 "Back" Troller. However, it says Troller on the side. Not a knowledgable boat guy, but this looks good for the $. Here in Wyoming, there might be some wind come up on the water and need a baot to survive! Just not familiar with the Sylvan boat. Welded? Riveted? Resale? Durable?

    Which Lund is this?

    Advertised as a 1979 lund Fishing Boat. Looked through a '79 brochure and didn't see this exact boat. Also, has a 75 horse Merc on it which seems a bit much? Which outboard is it? Year? Not a seasoned boater . . . so I'm reaching out to help me ask the right questions. First timer!!
