I went out in low winter pool for some crappies, got on her a bit too soon and wrecked my prop, bent my skeg. Is there a way to straighten it back out and not snap it? I was thinking C-Clamping 2 boards, slowly tightening them. I don't expect to get it back to factory, but I noticed a pull...

Thank you! I tried EBay I appreciate the link!!

Im looking for new seals to go on the cowl of my 86 40hp evinrude. All of the marine part sites i have checked are out of stock. Is there a standard type of rubber tubbing i can use? S better site someone can recomend?

Do you plan on carpeting the aluminum? straight metal will get hot. carpet will stay cooler, and wood will also stay cooler. if you are running all of that bracing you can go with 1/2inch, seal it, and it's easier to hatch, carpet and repair/access. Once its decked, in my experience you will...

yeah, I found a nice 40hp Evinrude. Came w controls for my side console and all the wiring harness. $1200 I'm happy, so far, I think...Still looking to move the 85hp Force. I'm sure someone in Ohio wants it!!

I struck gold with you guys on this forum!! so in the spirit of help ill explain more of my situation! 1980 bass catcher pro it has 2 livewells each have a bottom of the hull opening.. both look like the image i posted. there is also a fitting near th e level of the overflow, that...

i was planning on using a two tubed 12v aerator. And hoping that the wells would fill and hold enough water. Not sure where the water line will be. This boat is a winter project, I haven't had it in the water yet. the live wells are part of the bench seat of a side console jon boat...

So that is a quick and bad drawing of my live well. Will that work? will it fill to the water line level? Will it empty thru the over flow? i plan on having a 12v aerator running when fish are in there plug the intake when i dont want to fill them? it seems that i would never want the...
