Straightedge across the gun whales. Love it! I'll play with that for a while.

So I have been reading and reading and after scratching my head over and over about exactly how I am going to tackle this new to me 14ft Gregor. My question is, How do I get the casting deck and floor level? my thoughts are just to lower the trailer and put a level on the seat, and when it shows...

So just an update, I was in Wally World and found a plug that looks like it will do the trick. Just a regular ole Atwood trolling motor conection. It was $17 there, but I got it on Ebay for $7. Should get it in a few days.

It's the the 3rd wire that is confusing me. I assume that the orange wire goes to the pedal is power, right?

Picked up a Motorguide 765 24v trolling motor this weekend. I can't seem to find a plug that will work for this motor. The motor end is a 3 prong. Orange going to the pedal and black and red going to the motor. Just looking for an easy way to go straight to my battery(s). Any help out there?

6gal Tank - $105 Fuel line assembly $40 Quick connect $15 Gear oil $10

OK, now I'm a little overwhelmed! I just bought a used 6gal tank and it looks pretty good on the inside, BUT, I dont have the right connections. I have 3 tanks now all with different fittings. I am trying to hook up a 1975 Merc 20hp. Forgive me for my ignorance but it has the round connection to...

Wow! Some really great info. The patches are about 2"x2" or so. It's definitely not a family heirloom. Just didn't have the $100 for a good tank right now although I did find a metal 6 gal on Craig's list and am picking it up today for $40 with hose and bulb. So hopefully that looks good on the...

I would live to put a electric start on. What's the ballpark cost on something like that and skill level?

Not sure if this is the right forum but I have these 2 gas tanks that I got with a boat I picked up. One is 6g and the other is a 3g. Both have a little bit of rust in the bottom of the tanks. Is there a way to get rid of the rust an use them again. I hate to scrap them and buy new ones. The...

Oh, and I will be picking up a compression tester from autozone to check that as well. $40 deposit and then full money back when returned

It is a 20hp , I should of clarified that. I replaced the plugs already, old ones were a little black but not bad, after I replace the impeller this weekend, I will work the oil in. I did pick up a carb kit, but I want want to see how everything sounds before I go and start replacing things...
