I did try some new plugs, but there is a chance they could be the wrong ones (that is a whole other parts buying story involving a mouth breather who had trouble reading a computer screen). I did get the flywheel off, noticed the key was the same shape as the crank... so I will have to replace...

Thats a tough one that only you can really decide. I have had my 14' tinboat out in the Chesapeake bay before. We had no wind, and the ocean looked like a lake. Putzed around for a few hours and then the wind started to pick up out of the NW... and the water started bumping up a tad...

I just replaced points and condensers on my 15 hp tiller motor a few weeks ago. Like you guys said, puller and go. Once the flywheel was off it isnt bad.

They are brand new coils installed, I replaced a frayed wire and I dont think I am getting any spark still. I guess I should look at points next?

Man... that thing looks great. I didnt think about stuff like 1x12's... All I thought about was sheets of plywood.

My brother has a 1976 35 hp evinrude... nice motor, real clean. Bought it off craigslist for a song and a dance. New impeller, starter, coils, rebuilt carb... Guy said he spent the money, got it running and then all of a sudden lost spark. I took the cowl off and noticed a few wires were...

Nothing huh? Gotta be some way to do it...

Is there a way to hook up a dash mounted fuel gauge on a plastic portable tank? How could I ground the sender? Should I worry about electrical around gas fumes?

<----- Searching Craigslist for a old toolbox :mrgreen:

Hey fellas, I got a lil 7.5 hp gamefisher. I just replaced the coil, condenser, points, spark plug and rebuilt the carb... it will fire on the 1st or 2nd pull. However on colder days it seems like I can never get my choke in all the way... the thing will rev wayyyy up and then cut off. The...

That thing looks great... what type of wood is that?

Nice fellas... Ranchero, I am diggin the hurst T-shifter. Bob, what are the dimensions on yours?

Alright fellas... post up... I wanna see pictures of custom consoles... Centers or Side consoles. What material did you use, would you change anything? I am thinking about making a little side console on my newest project and need some inspiration.

Thanks for the info. How much juice do nav lights use? I think I will wire up 2 24's in parallel. Anyone seeing any issues if I wired up a 12V LED and use the cover for my bow light making it an LED bow light? Same theory with the anchor light?

Yeah, I think I will go ahead and pick up a 27 battery... can you wire 2 different group sized batteries together in parallel? Anyone know how long a radio lasts on a deep cycle?

Yeah, I got a 9.9 on the back to get me there and back. The TM is to get me into a spot without spooking the fish.

Cool man, looking forward to hearing how it works out! We're not really running spot lights, just gonna have a handheld spot... when that goes, no biggie. How much juice does a radio take?

Hey Derek... how did it turn out? I am looking at building a side console for my latest project... I was thinking about building it out of plywood and fiberglassing it.

Hey fellas, been away for a lil while. Dealing with life issues (arent we all)... now things are getting back on track and I get to start doing the things I like to do again.... fishing :D Anyways... onto the facts... I am going to be doing a lot of night fishing for speckled trout...

I wanna say mine is like a 79... And yeah, the bulb does lose pressure. But I just chaulked that up to pulling on the starter cord long enough to flood the motor... hrmmm... I think a carb rebuild kit is only like 25 bucks... might as well buy one if I am going to take my carb off to clean it...
