    Remote Throttle Control Replacement Suggestions/Help????

    Not that exact one but very similar. Mine was basically a one for one swap. That being said I already had the proper cables. As to how I like it, I haven't had a chance to use it yet on the water but it is smoother than the old one. Sent from my K007 using Tapatalk

    Remote Throttle Control Replacement Suggestions/Help????

    I believe that you should be looking at something like eBay listing 161890197660. I too have a 2005 50ELPTO and that is what was on mine. I changed mine out because the center button broke as well as a few other issues. Now, I'm not saying to get that particular one as there are cheaper ones out...

    '83 Bass Tracker Revival

    Actually i would recommend using urethane expanding closed cell pourable foam. Being closed cell, it will not absorb water. It is available in different weights. The lightest is 2 lb. That means a cubic foot weighs 2 pounds. It is also the most buoyant. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

    Problems with 82 Johnson 15 HP (miaden voyage faliure...)

    I doubt it. I'm thinking if you didn't break it, it should be okay.

    Problems with 82 Johnson 15 HP (miaden voyage faliure...)

    I will say about the same thing. If you tightened it as much as you could when you installed the spring, that definitely caused the problem. Remember this, when you pull the cord you will be further tightening the spring. Like kofcorn stated, it only needs to be tight enough to hold the handle...

    Remove rubber carpet backing from metal

    I just went through this on my boat and in my searching, I found the best was using brush cleaner. I used a 1 inch chip brush. I also used a plastic mixing bucket I think it was a 1 quart sized one I got from Home Depot or Lowe's. Brush that on and that glue will start coming off pretty easy...

    Tablets

    Another option would be the Nexus 7. I know it may be an older one but it is pretty kickbutt and better than most tablets. Try to get the 2013 32GB version. That applies to anything you get.

    Who's Been to Hawaii?

    There is another option. Take a cruise around the islands. The wife and i took a 7 day one that hit 4 islands. Began and ended in Oahu. Really nice.

    I still cannot get into the forum using three different devices. Still getting the "Failed to connect to forum..." error message.

    WTS: Grumman Super Pro Fisherman Boat

    See I was not asking for that. I have a place at a local storage lot for it. No big deal. Already paid for the spot. I will sell this now or when I get back. Either way I will sell it. Steve I hate to bust your bubble but I am not a soldier. I am retired US Air Force now working for the US...

    One last try....

    Go to one of the tool rental places and see if they have inspection cameras like https://m.lowes.com/product?langId=-1&storeId=10702&catalogId=10051&productId=3276903&store=0388&view=detail&nValue=Search. If they do it would be a simple matter of pulling the spark plug and inserting the camera.

    WTS: Grumman Super Pro Fisherman Boat

    I am about to deploy to Afghanistan again and I must sell this or put it in storage. The wife does not want it in the yard while I am gone. Up for grabs is a 1988 Grumman Super Pro boat. This boat measures 14'9" long and 60" wide at the top of the transom. Included is a very good to good...

    Tin boats Box pass #10

    Trust me, I fully intend to stay safe. I have found that the IDF has increased heavily. I withdrew because I honestly thought the pass would be a lot quicker. The only way I could have stayed was if I was last. That wouldn't be fair to even ask for to the rest of the list. Heck I could've...

    Tin boats Box pass #10

    As much as I hate to do it, I am going to have to remove myself from the list. As some of you know, I am about to deploy to Afghanistan in less than two weeks time. Mail to and from there takes an average of 3 weeks each way. I don't think it would be fair to anyone to have to wait 6 weeks or...

    Trailer Light Problem

    Having led lights you can use 18Awg. There will be little actual current flow. However your best option is to use the same size as what's in the new harness. 16AWG may be a better bet but not absolutely necessary.

    Trailer Light Problem

    My suggestion is to cut off the connector at the front of the trailer on the old harness. Separate out the wire colors. Next splice the front end of the old wires to the back end of the new wire harness(the end furtherest from the connector). Now at the lights cut the old wires off and start...
