    Alarm while running boat.

    When I run the boat for 5 minutes or so this alarm comes on. Not sure if it's overheating or what it means? It's a 1965 starcraft if that helps. Thanks!

    Leaking at a rivet

    I appreciate all your information by the way. I literally just inherited it back in June from my cousin so I hope to just get out and fish with it a bit. I just worry if my pump was to fail I would be screwed. I wonder what it would cost if I took it in the fix the leaks. Also that damage of...

    Leaking at a rivet

    So other than the river leak which is pretty small I must have a larger leak elsewhere. I accumulate approximately 5 gal of water an hr. If my pump didn't run I'd be in trouble. I filled the boat with water but can't seem to find this leak. Must be higher up

    Leaking at a rivet

    Well I wasn't worried until that story. I read that lots of older boat have little leaks but I sure don't want to pop a rivet! I'll have to really patch this up. There is no accessing it unless I tear apart the floorboards.

    Rear casting deck builds

    Just put this tarp in to clean it up. I was thinking even just a bench across the back would be better. Carpet it

    Leaking at a rivet

    I have a few rivets that leak a little bit but one that drips pretty consistently. I tried placing two part marine epoxy on it after cleaning and sanding the rivet but to no avail. It still leaks. Any advice? Im a little worried to take my boat out if it's actively leaking. I have a pump btw...

    Here is my boat Layout. Maybe I could do the triple tube mounts in back along the splash well.

    Storing fishing poles in gunwale?

    Looking for a place to store my fishing poles so my kids won't smash them. Thinking of placing them on hooks on the gunwale. Has anyone done this?

    Inherited new boat. Unsure what it is exactly

    I'm trying to find that snap cover. I see I have channels in the top of the compartment so I could put two sliders in I guess. I like your design though. I have a lot of plywood lying around that I could flex seal and maybe it'll last...

    Burned up wire in my outboard

    Found this wire(ground) all burned up in my outboard. Tracked it down and found it goes to my tilt sending sensor. I'm wondering if I need this or even need to replace it? Any ideas? Why would it overheat? Thanks!

    Inherited new boat. Unsure what it is exactly

    That's cool. Is that pressure treated? What's the vinyl snap on cover? I was thinking maybe a tarp with buttons. Idk. I just don't want the girls in there

    Inherited new boat. Unsure what it is exactly

    Thank you for the replies. I'll get pics of the numbers. Not sure why the screen door pulls were used but I'll replace that. I see a lot of boats around town don't even tie down the middle like that. I really want to find or build a door for the back compartment that contains the battery and...
