    Early 1990's Mercury 25hp lower unit drain plug

    I accidentally posted in the wrong forum before, so I will try to repost here. Long story short, we lost the lower unit drain plug in our early-90's Mercury 25hp long stem tiller drive engine. The catch is that the engine is at our fishing camp a long way from where I am currently sitting. I...

    Early 1990's Mercury 25hp lower unit drain plug

    Long story short, we lost the lower unit drain plug in our early-90's Mercury 25hp long stem tiller drive engine. The catch is that the engine is at our fishing camp a long way from where I am currently sitting. I don't have access to the model # or year. Does anyone know if the plugs from...

    1976 18' Starcraft Holiday Restoration

    Got to work on the old Holly this weekend and actually made some decent progress. We drilled out the last 4 rivets on each of the rib ends where there were hairline cracks or where we thought there could be an issue in the future (9 on one side and 8 on the other). Then we placed a scab on the...

    1976 18' Starcraft Holiday Restoration

    Hey! That's more traction than I expected that idea to get! Another possible option I thought of tonight while painting my basement and having a few pops is camper/RV scissor steps. As I see it, the advantages are: larger steps, sturdier, it seems to have a nice locking mechanism, and it...

    1976 18' Starcraft Holiday Restoration

    And now I'll come clean that posting trailer pictures was a desperate attempt to keep people interested because I have a few questions about the new dash layout. I am thinking about scrapping the steps/console that help a person access the bow. I want to remove it not because no one ever uses...

    1976 18' Starcraft Holiday Restoration

    Thought I would post a few pictures of the trailer since it's all I have for now. Spent last weekend meeting my new nephew instead of working on the boat... a trade-off I was glad to make. We did get the empty hull off blocks and back on the trailer to get ready for riveting. All of my...

    1976 18' Starcraft Holiday Restoration

    I might be able to get at the boat this weekend and I think I am ready start drilling out the rivets for the cracked rib ends. Before I do so, I was hoping someone with experience could green light my plan. Am I making a mistake by drilling out all 4 of the rivets pictured below even though...

    Advice for first-time outboard purchaser

    I hope this is the proper location for this question. I am currently in the process of renovating a 18' Starcraft Holiday. My family has two other Starcrafts (16' and 18'): one has a 4-stroke Suzuki 115 hp (2007) and the other a 4-stroke Yamaha 115 hp (2013). The original plan was to swap one...

    1976 18' Starcraft Holiday Restoration

    I'm a new member to the forum, but I've been reading up on similar projects for some time. I am about to start a restoration of a '76 18' Holiday. The previous posts have been invaluable in our planning. You guys are great. Background: My dad got this boat on the cheap when he was looking...
