    Can a prop bog down your motor?

    I've got an 82 evinrude 70hp outboard that keeps dying when you put it in the water and try to accelerate. It will go into gear just fine and idle/move a bit faster than idle and the engine runs great. Using water ears on it at home, the engine runs like a champ. However, putting it in the lake...

    sound device requirement in texas?

    Ok so I've read the law but am a bit confused. I've got a 16.5' boat. Can I use a plain old whistle as a sound device or do I need to get one of those disposable air horns? Eventually I plan to mount a car horn but just spent a small fortune buying the boat, having my mechanic go through it...

    Where to mount rod holders?

    I've got a 1984 Bass tracker 3. I can't figure where to mount some rod holders. The previous owner had a lone holder mounted into the side of the boat. However I don't wish to drill holes threw the side of my hull like he did. Risk of leaks, etc. Anyways does anyone else have one of these boats...

    1982 Evinrude manual?

    I just bought an 84 bass tracker with a 70hp 82' evinrude on it and I would like to get the original books on it. Was hoping someone might have a link where I can download them. It's always been my policy to keep the books on stuff just in-case. I'd really feel like a dupe if I took my boat to...

    Putting a 65 Chrysler 35hp outboard on my boat. Dad has had the motor stored for several years and we're going thru getting it ready for the lake and the waterpump isn't pushing any water. Was hoping someone would have a link to a walkthru to change it and perhaps links or advise where to get a...
