    I am surprised no one has offered advice as weather to go back with wood or aluminum framing for the transon replacement.

    I had a small amount of water come out first when I drained the fluid.

    ALUMACRAFT 14FD MOD

    Grew up in one of those boats, loved it. As far as the gap, remember if you are wrapping with plywood to allow 1/4" all around depending on the carpet you use. I made a few of mine a little tight.

    Do you have to elevate the cable and bag? Could you place on end into a quart of transmission fluid and it work?

    Would that explain the pink lower unit fluid? Thanks for the info. I would have put regular off the shelf in without knowing.

    1972 50 HP EVINRUDE

    Just getting into some but I think it might be. Are there problems with those? The throttle cable is really stiff. May have to replace it. Drained the lower unit last night and a small amount of water then the oil was pink. Are there some synthetic oils that are pink?

    1972 50 HP EVINRUDE

    We just got a 1972 50 HP Evinrude, came with Johnson throttle controls. Started and run great. Paid $250 for it. Was wondering if that was a good deal? The Hood seams to look the age, but the motor was very clean. Which brings me to a few things. The head is painted a red primer, leads me to...

    alumacraft model FD

    I grew up fishing out of an Fd. We ran a 18 hp Evinrude with no issues. Not sure what you are thinking of to make it more fishable. We spent many hours on the water in lots of conditions. Do not remember ever feeling consern for safety, but I was a fearless kid, not as smart as I am now (LoL)...

    25 HP Mercury by Tohatsu thoughts?

    With all that being said, are the interchangable. Do the controls work one with the other?
