Am working on replacing my 1956 evinrude pull cord and am pretty sure the one that finally gave out was original. It has a steel wire core and some old school clamped metal hook piece on the end... Doubt they make those any more, so am looking for insight on a replacement. Can I just tie a...

Much appreciated.

Long time no talk all... I snapped the pull rope on my outboard. 1956 Evinrude 7.5hp. I youtubed and could not find this exact make and model, but did find similar vides where they show the rope coil... That you have to counter clockwise turn it 14 times, and re-coil the rope while keeping...

Hey all, been a long time. So got the boat out for the first time yesterday with my boy. Had her start after a few pulls after a year in the garage. Long story short, was ready to hit a new spot and noticed some fraying in the pull cord right below the handle, and that it was getting caught...

So I took my rig out yesterday, and of course with the cold weather she took a few pulls to get started.. no biggie. She run me and my buddy up river with no problems. We fished for a while... 2nd run back up river I noticed she was starting to feel sluggish... thought I was caught on weed...

So this summer and into early Fall my 1955 Evinrude 7.5 was running like a champ... got a good oil ratio, used some good fuel stabil and had a good time. This weekend its going to be in the 50s and plan on hitting the water for a little carp shoot. the motor has been upright, still on my boat...

So I filed a VA disability claim back in February of this year. I just had my exam last Friday. Anyone else here gone through this process before? According to my X-rays and the doctors notes, I have Arthritis of the spine, spinal sub-laxations?, degenerative disc disease, and spinal...

So does that mean you zero in at 200yds, and when shooting at 100yds, you found the rounds to be 2" above center" Or do you just shoot 2" above center at 100yds?

Agreed... meat here as well. I also figured if I cant get to within 200 yds of an animal... I should not be "hunting".. I think that is part of the excitement. Getting close enough to not be detected. Maybe that is just the fictitious Navy Seal in me.

Looking sweet.

Never tried it. Would like too. I know a couple guys here in town who get pretty down with it. Hand made blinds and such.

Nahh... I did a very similar project on my 1952 16', and with the weight of the frame, deck, and gear up front... she sits quite well...not to mention my fat ***!!!

So last year, I zeroed in at 100yds, and can put rounds pretty tight at 200yds. But rely on the BDC reticle to account for distance. The Buck and Bull I took last year were both approx. 150yds. Both shooting uphill, which was challenging for me. Am wondering if I need to zero in at 200 yds...

Dont waste any more time or money... just go with it. I have a few corners I wish I could have done again, but said screw it. Its a fishing boat right?

If you have a little extra carpet and wood, try a few demo cuts... I did this trying to get the inside of my hatch to fit right. From my eye... I see you may want to try a "Y" cut. Again, just go a bit short of right to the wood... then pull the center flap toward the inner "bottom" of the...
