    Would anyone happen to know which switch I would need to order to replace the OEM switch? Looking through the catalog here gets confusing as heck. Couldn't find a part number to cross reference it with, old switch only says "Indak" on the back side with no part numbers. In dash mount, 3...

    Slightly OT - TinyTachs for under $20

    Just an FYI for anyone looking to pick up a tinytach on the cheap. Amazon currently has them listed for $18.99 plus shipping. I believe this is the older model that had a slight delay in the update timing of the tach readout as opposed to the newer "standard model". 2-3 seconds as opposed to...

    Has anyone used GreatStuff for foam?

    Has anyone used that expanding spray foam insulation called GreatStuff that you can find at the local home store? I was checking it out the other day and it does seem to be almost the same stuff as the foam I just removed from under my flooring. I'm thinking it is, just in an spray can. Pros...

    More Flotation Foam Questions.

    Well live and learn, apparently I didn't do a good enough job of checking the foam out entirely when I laid my new floor in and now it ALL has to come out. So my questions are this: I have an 1986 20ft Bayliner Capri Cuddy. I've read a lot of the threads on foam around here and all the stuff...

    75hp modifications

    I'm looking to convert a 1961 75hp from a long shaft motor to a short shaft motor. Does anyone know if I'll be able to use the shaft from a 35hp for this purpose. I ask because I have access to the shorter shaft from a 35hp. Otherwise I'll have to start looking again. Are the shafts the same or...

    1950-51 5hp Johnson carb parts?

    I have a decent 1950-51 5hp Johnson motor that i've trying to find a carb rebuild kit for. In addition to that I also need to find where I can get an actual float for the carb since the main problem with the motor is that the float has begun to disintegrate. It still starts and runs good, it's...

    Is it even worth it?

    I have the opportunity to pick this little gem up for free. My questions is, is it really worth it. It's a 1959, 14ft Holiday Runabout. In the pictures the windshield looks cloudy but that's just morning frost. The windshield is actually in great condition. No stress cracks, etc. Normal interior...

    Lead Fuel Additives

    Did a search and didn't come up with any discussions on lead fuel additives. I'm sure you've had to of had this one before. I'm curious about the use / need for lead fuel additives for mid 80's engines and prior. The lead in leaded gasolines was originally used for valve seat lubrication. So my...
