I have a 1648 with a 9.9 and it planes out just fine with 2 batteries, tank and two people. I get up to around 18mph on smooth water.

Probably going to be a big no but has anyone added seats and stuff WITHOUT drilling holes in the benches? There are Zero holes in my boat and if I can I would like to keep it that way...

I got a used cooler from my son to try out. Gotta get it cleaned up and locate the other items to make a livewell. Kinda glad it has the drain on one of the ends. Gonna upgrade the hinges also. I'll try to remember to get pics of the process.

Did you put it inside one of the benches?

Curious as to what people are using for DIY livewells other than coolers? I want to add one to my middle bench and use the top of it as the lid.

The boat is a 1999 16x48 Alumacraft. It has 2 benches and a front factory deck. Sorry I don’t have pics but I will get some. Thanks for the reply.

2 different questions here that I need some help or ideas with. 1. Transducer mounting: I've read where some of you have used 3M 5200 to glue a piece of PVC to the boat. My concern is it coming off in movement and is there any preparation that needs to be done to the boat or the PVC before it's...

So I bought a sealed 12v 7ah battery just to try it out. It says Max charging volts is 2.1amps. Will it hurt the battery to charge it with a 3amp charger?

I've searched here and found a few posts on using the small sealed batteries for fish finders. My question is, using a 12v 7ah battery, how long will it run one without having to charge it? I do alot of catfishing and I am usually on the water for up to 5 hours, I'll be using it the whole time...

Thanks guys. Pappy, your answer is the one I was needing. My motor has the switch on the frame and not the arm. It has been unhooked (cut for some reason) and the wire removed all but about 4 inches from the switch. I do have one wire coming off of a coil that shocked me the other day, might...

I have an 80 model evinrude 25hp frame with a 78-79 power head. I'm wondering how to hook up a kill switch on it if anyone knows or can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. Need more info, just ask. Thanks

Any posts here that detail how to wrap carpet on the wood in the floor to match the ribs?

New flasher worked. Thanks for the input guys, very much appreciated.

Gone to get a new flasher. Gonna check all of my grounds again too. I'll let ya know something in a few

I drive a 1991 s10. My brake and turn signals are on the same wire. They are believe it or not, color coded on the truck the same way the harness is, brown for park lights, yellow for left turn/brake and green for right turn/brake.
