    Refueling Static Safety Question

    It's probably a dumb question but....I've got a 1957 Arkansas Traveler 16ft aluminum boat, 1954 Johnson 25hp outboard and the vintage pressurized 5 gallon metal fuel tank. I have refilled the tank before fishing trips on the ground, unconnected from the motor. This past weekend I left it in the...

    What can I use for a makeshift livewell?.....

    I don't have a livewell on my 1957 Arkansas Traveler boat and was thinking of using a large cooler filled with lake water and portable battery powered aerator. Would that work okay for 5 plus hours? We would like to return the fish back to the lake after the 4-5hrs and I figured this might work...

    How Can I tell What Year My TeeNee Trailer Is?

    I stripped it in preparation for repainting and did not see any numbers stamped anywhere on the frame or pieces that I took off. It's for my 16 foot 1957 Arkansas Traveler boat.

    Should We Invest In This Extra Part For Our 1954 Johnson Seahorse?

    The lower unit on my 1954 Johnson Seahorse 25hp RDE has a 1 inch crack on the leading edge of the stabilizer fin. Eventually it will get worse unless I get it welded up. The lower unit casing is not cracked, just that fin. I have access to another used lower unit for $68 bucks. Is that a good...

    Can We Build Custom Performance Plug Wires For These Old Motors?

    I've got some left over plug wires, connectors and boots for a universal 8mm Taylor Automotive Performance Spark Plug Boot set. Is it safe to make and use a set on my 1954 Johnson 25hp RDE-16? I wonder if the excess voltage/spark would damage the piston top or affect the engine heat too much?
