Looking at a used 1999 Saturn SL1 for my kid. 140,000 miles for $1300. Great price, pics look good too. Wondering if anyone has experience with this car and can point out any problems with this vehicle model type that I should look for? Any input would be great. Much thanks!

I have a '82 Johnson 9.9 and the pull rope won't retract back into the recoiler. I've tried rewinding it back onto the spool and it still won't retract so I'm assuming something broke within the part. Does anyone have any experience with this or have any tips of what I should try before taking...

My winter project is setting up my boat for electric only lakes. Right now my setup includes a transom and bow mount motor that has a battery dedicated for each. For the fish finder, nav lights and bilge I'm thinking of adding a third, smaller battery just for the electronics. Wondering if...

I just got done replacing the impeller on my 1982 Johnson 9.9 with no problems taking the lower unit off, removing the shifting cable, taking the impeller off, etc. The lower unit was snug and need some force to get it off but it did. My best guess from the impeller is that it's original to the...

Got into a hot bite last night (Northeast Ohio) and my daughter performed admirably! Good job kid!

I came across this issue and thought I'd share it with the forum. I want to add a deck large enough to the bow for a trolling motor. I thought this would be fairly easy but I noticed something and I'm not sure how to handle it. Take a look at these pics: First, the piece of plywood is for...

Anyone ever use these? Seem pretty ingenious to make use of oar locks. https://www.hillsrodholders.com/index.php?id_product=62&controller=product&id_lang=1

Has anyone ever used one of these? Thinking of making one of these out of wood for my trolling motor. My transom is very tight and something like this could solve my problem. Curious to hear if anyone has any experience with one of these...

Wondering if anyone can identify this bolt/pin as I need another one for a bow trailer bunk. Below are some pics of the bolt, bunk and trailer location. Now, I know I could just use a nut and bolt and be done with it, but my curiosity is getting the best of me and I would like find out what this...

I'm beginning to gather the supplies needed to put in a floor and a casting deck for my Sea Nymph 14R this winter. I've found the marine plywood I'm going to use and have a question. Should I spar varnish the floor section or not ? The top will be carpeted but not the bottom. With it being...

Hello all. Need an quick answer as I'm in need of compression testing an outboard this week. I'm testing a 1985 Johnson 9.9. I have some 16 gauge wire attached to alligator clips. I was attaching one end to the plug wire but I'm not sure where the best place to ground it to the outboard would...

So, I may have finally found my motor but I have a few questions and I'm hopeful someone can assist. It's a 1976 Mercury 110 9.8 electric outboard and I included a few pics below. Now, I've never come across an electric version of this motor until this one. All I know is that it only has had one...

So I've been fishing in my 14R trying to get the feel for it and everything is perfect so far, with one exception. I have a very slow leak from my drain plug. The drain plug hole in the boat seems smooth, without any dents or imperfections in the aluminum that I can tell. I've tried two...

Here's another motor that just came up for sale. It's a 1978 9.9 Evinrude 10824M with CD Ignition, Modern Mag Flash. Anyone have any insight on this motor with and past history? I'd be putting it on my Sea Nymph 14R. From what I've read online, the carb can be swapped out for a 15hp which...

So, I just read that pressure treated lumber is NOT good for aluminum. Glad I read that before starting on my final storage box build! Now, I sanded, tsained and varnished all the pieces. Would that still be bad for the aluminum? If it won't work, my question is what wood would you recommended...

I'm going to be placing a bilge pump in my Sea Nymph 14R and I I think I know where I'm placing it but would like to hear opinions on my placement. I'm thinking of putting it here: Good? Bad? Any thoughts?

Same question as an earlier motor post I've made. Looking for opinions on this motor. If anyone has one and can give me any details on it, please let me know. I appreciate your help! Here are a few pics:

Anyone have any thoughts on this motor? I'd be using it on my 14' Sea Nymph. Not looking for the fastest but something that is easily maintained and reliable. Thanks!

So I've never wired anything before and I need to start, what I would imagine is a simple wiring project. I need to install a bilge pump and I want to add it to a simple SPST ON-OFF Marine Toggle Switch for it. I would also like to do the same and hook my nav lights to a switch as well. Right...

This motor is available with a 1500 dollar price tag. Supposedly has less than ten hours on it and just had it serviced where the carb was rebuilt. Motor looks to be in good shape. Looking at NADA prices, it should go for around 1200. The guy is not budging on price. Any thoughts if you think...
