    Shallow Water Drive

    My family has a 7.5 Evinrude that I used for years and it had a feature on it for running in shallow water, essentially a higher trim setting than you can accomplish with the pin holes on the outboard. Here's a pic of it, it's a weird angle, but you can get the idea at least. 7.5 by Photo 144...

    Coil Question

    Last week I had a coil go out on my motor (model in signature). I replaced it and all is well. I ordered one from Marine Engine, but then ended up finding one locally later the same day. Well, they shipped the coil before I could cancel the order so now I have an extra one. So, my question is...

    Anchoring with a closed bow....tips?

    So I know I'm speaking to the minority here, but for other tinboaters that have closed bows, how do you anchor? My current process is to climb on the bow cover, over the windshield, burn my feet on the hot aluminum, then tie up to the front cleat or bow eye, then do it in reverse and try not to...

    Motor Height...

    Ok, so I know this type of question gets asked all the time, but I have some detailed questions that I didn't find answered. I'm trying to decide whether my motor height is acceptable. First off, does it look reasonable? I don't have any cavitation (clearly, if anything it's mounted too low)...

    Can anyone tell me what this is?

    I have a '76 Evinrude 40 hp outboard, and I cannot figure out what this little plate is with the 5 holes in it. I don't want to take it off just to see what it is. I am thinking of putting a hydrofoil on, and want to make sure that it isn't something that cannot be covered up. I'm guessing it's...

    On Board Charger Mounting Question

    I bought a Cabela's ProMariner charger, it just came in the mail yesterday. I was reading the instructions and it says that they don't recommend mounting it directly on aluminum. Anyone know if this really matters? I want to just mount it to the side of my rear bench under my deck. I could...

    Carpet directly on floor vs plywood

    So I've carpeted my plywood deck in the back of my deep C already. I'm getting ready for spring when I can finish the project by carpeting the front part of the boat. I'm thinking about gluing my carpet right to the aluminum floor and right over the ribs rather than building a plywood floor...

    Control Cable Question

    So I want to order some replacement control cables, mine are old and too short anyway. I am looking at the first one on this page: https://www.nicksoutboardmarine.com/steeringcontpg12.html Has anyone ever ordered these, or similar ones? I can't tell from the page if you get both the throttle...

    "Old Gold" - 1958 Alumacraft Deep C

    Hey all, New guy here, I've been reading this forum for about a year now, but never posted. I love the projects you all have going on here, and if you've built anything on here, I've probably read it. So, I thought it's about time to contribute. It all started last spring when I was at a boat...
