I think the bottom right code is for identification if it's "exported" to somewhere other than North America. Still comes up as a 94 with the Z stamp, though.

Idea: do the work with the boat in the water and give us all periodic updates of what's fallen overboard. This is the most entertaining choice (for us, not you).

I'm about to undertake my front raised deck project on my 542 War Eagle this week. I have a plan of what I'd like to do which involves a 1/2" plywood deck that sits under the seat track on the front bench seat and spans the area from the bench to the bow. Because of the way the boat is...

Have you pinpointed the general area of the sound by running it on muffs in the driveway? Could be your timing belt, easy check it to rev it up until you get the sound then shoot the belt with some belt conditioner (or water or whatever) and see if that changes the noise. Might be worth...

JUST picked this up today for my dad and the transom is rotten. How do you go about replacing the wood where it's wedged in under a top cap and side braces (see red arrows)? Inserted photo to show as best as I can, will get better photo later.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to mock up a mini-sized deck (width wise) and try it out before I fully commit, as the stability issue has been pointed out, to doing a full deck. Monticello is 11 hours from me, so making a trip to the factory isn't feasible, and I'd "upgrade" to a low...

I have a 1994 War Eagle 542, which doesn't have the raised "platform" and bow seat like the newer models do, but has 2 normal bench seats and the bow seat which is mostly my trolling motor and second fishfinder location. I'd like to put a deck across the front, but i'm running into two...

I keep looking at threads where people have made great decks for the front and rear portions of their boats but I'd like to know how best to go about attaching these decks to the boat itself. I know screwing directly into the seats on the front is an option, but I'd like to play around with the...

Thanks, Dale. I'll check with my local metal fab/welding shop and see if they can do the aluminum sandwich with rivets method. If not, I'll go with the wood & bolts.

Have a crack in the metal above the bow seat where the previous owner has winched on the front handle too hard. 1232 Monark. What's the best way to repair this? Welding? I was thinking of putting a block of wood or starboard behind it and running longer bolts thru. Attached a photo showing...

I've always gone with .030 on my 87 Johnson and never had an idle issue that wasn't carb/old gas related. My .02...

As to the motor: I have a 1236 Monark (also in Columbia, I'll wave if I see you out) with an 8hp Johnson on the back. My boat is also rated for a 5hp motor. There is no difference in weight between the 6hp and 8hp model of my motor, so I don't worry about my transom. Any additional support...

Would like to move my 6 gal tank to the front footwell of my 12ft Monark. This would require a new longer fuel line and reading the posts on here I need to replace my Attwood line asap before it starts breaking down! My question is: would there be a fuel delivery issue with the length being...

I've rattle-canned a motor before and all the suggestions on this thread are correct. Especially the "many light coats" one. Heavy spray = heavy sanding to get a good final result. One word of caution: make sure NOT to spray the inlet tube filter screen (behind the prop) or you get to pick the...

Apologies if this has been covered already (I did search for it): Why is there such a difference in capacities between similar boat models? For example, I have a 2000 Monark 1232 that is rated for "2 people or 250 lbs" (don't know anyone that weighs 125 lbs other than a kid) but a brand new...

Just got a title on my grandad's old jon boat and SC requires a hull ID number to be placed on the starboard transom and inside the boat. What would be the best way to go about affixing a number? Dremel tool? Make a badge and rivet it on? Has anyone had to do this before? Pic of the giant...
