2000 AlumaWeld 1440 Xpress The bench has 3 pedestal mounts. The one I use has been loose, but it's been one of those "I'll fix it when it completely fails" kind of issues. Well today it did. I guess after years of torsional stress, the holes in the bench where the mount was fastened have become...

I've got a '73 Evinrude 9.5 Sportwin that I've been working on for a friend because I'm apparently the most mechanically inclined person he knows. It's a recent purchase for him, so I never saw it run, but according to him it ran rough and didn't want to idle (in retrospect he says he thinks...

So y'all probably know by now that with all the junk I have laying around, I'd rather build something than buy it. Well I've got another finished (or at least halfway finished) project to show off, and I'm a little proud of this one. I had about one and a half old ez-up tents that had most of...

I have done a lot of searching and have mostly found only information about static stability. I am trying to find out about improving the side-to-side stability on my Alumacraft 1232 while moving. Got a motor for it this week, which was advertised as an '87 Evinrude 9.9 but turned out to be an...

So I just bought an outboard for my new Alumacraft 1232 flatbottom. The seller advertised it as a 1987 Evinrude 9.9. When I was looking at it, I was so busy checking compression and examining the cylinders, pistons, and spark plugs that I forgot to run the model number. Now that I've made it...
