I have a basic set up with the 50lb thrust endura max wired directly to the battery. Is it normal that as the battery ages/dies that the motor will lose top end power ie: full power results in the same speed as low power, and that as the battery reaches the end of it's duty life that this will...

Hello I recently was given a boat trailer for the 14' starcraft v hull that I have identified as a Tee Nee trailer via internet search. It is wired with modern trailer lights, a new winch and strap, and new tires/wheel. The keel rollers down the center of the trailer are suspect and at lease...

Like the title says. I carry my 12' on my rack, but there are some lakes that we go to where I want the bigger boat with the larger motor. I have a 14' Starcraft that usually sits on the trailer but with the addition of a tent trailer I would like to put the starcraft on the truck rack. Does...

So my question is how thick should I make the plywood? We have a 4 stroke 9.9 merc. Plywood that is on there now is two pieces of 3/4 laminated together on the inside and a small piece of plywood on the back that gives a final thickness of 2". Do I have to be this thick? I have no idea how...

For those of you who have added plywood to the top of your aluminum bench seats, how thick of plywood? 1/2, 5/8, or 3/4? I am leaning towards 5/8 (splitting the difference) because I am also adding seat bases that will connect to the plywood via tee nuts installed on the underside of the...

I'm looking for suggestions on how to set up a bow anchor on my 1236 - with round gunwale.

I did a search on this forum, and on youtube etc, and ended up more confused. I have an old starcraft 14 foot aluminum with many leaking rivets. I want to eventually go the route of seam sealing with gluvit, but that is a project for later in the year when I have more time. I would like to...

I wish I was a welder or had a good friend that could, but I don't. I've been scouring the local buy and sells for a cheap rack for my truck so I could carry my 1236 and get it out of the bed of my truck. New racks just are not in the budget for the foreseeable future. I've looked around on...

What is the difference between 6 and 7 inch swivels besides size? Why use one over the other?

I just bought a used boat seat off of CL and it didn't come with a swivel. I see that there are 7" swivels and 6" swivels. Does it matter what size I use?

I bought a brand new Alumacraft 1236 this year. I have noticed that the paint seems to scratch very easily. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I admit to being a bit "rough" with my boat as it does not live on a trailer and is transported in the back of my truck.

I purchased a new alumacraft jon boat and I was surprised that it came without any oarlock sockets. I purchased a pair from the local supply shop but I am unsure of where to place them. I looked around on the internet and 13" aft of the edge of the middle seat seemed to be the general...

I have a Minn Kota 65mx electric trolling motor. It looks like it was manufactured in 1991. It ran great up until two weeks ago, when the prop that was on it broke - one of the blades sheared off. I have been trying to find a replacement prop, and thought I had one, but the hub on the...

Hello. I recently acquired a 1045 alumacraft jon boat with some transom issues. The wood on the transom had significant rot, and I managed to remove it. Drilling out the rivets did not go smoothly, as I hope you can see in the pictures. I have read the posts on this site and others until my...
