    Homemade shallow water anchor suggestions

    Does anyone have any pics or diagrams of some homemade shallow water anchors to be installed on a 14ft v bottom? I was thinking some kind of PVC creation. Any help appreciated.

    Who says you need a big boat?!

    Was out smallmouth fishing on Lake St Clair on Friday and this girl decided she wanted my 1/2oz red eye shad. Not in season so returned back to the water safely. But what fun!

    9.9 Stall at idle

    So after fixing my o-ring issue on my steel OMC fuel tank the leak at the connector stopped and all was good for 2 weeks. Forward 2 weeks of the tank sitting in the garage (to busy to get out) and the 90 degree heat here in Michigan, I went to fire up the motor before planning on going out the...

    Coat it over paint?

    The PO had painted my tin inside and out. Now it is leaking at seams and rivets more than I am comfortable with. Can I use Gluvit or Coat It directly over the paint or will I need to sand down to bare aluminum? The interior is covered with the flooring I installed and would not be visible. I...

    Older metal Omc fuel tank question.

    So my fuel tank leaks at the gasket when not in use after running and has some pressure in the tank, I just ordered a new gasket for it. My question is do I need to loosen the cap to relieve pressure every time I turn off the motor on the water? The tank is older, has no vent cap, and has the...

    Sea foam deep creep in 9.9

    So I thought I read on here to remove the spark plugs, spray in the seafoam all around, wait about 4 hours, and then start her up. Does that sound about right? I have a 1979 9.9 evinrude that sat for a few years behind a garage. I already have it up and runnning nicely, just looking to clean it...

    Small boat oars

    In Michigan is there a requirement for the size of oars on a 14 foot boat? I don't plan on using them, it's just for emergency situations.

    Is RTD the same as CDX?

    Looking to put a floor in my aluminum and I'm reading to put in CDX plywood. I'm not looking for it to last forever, just a few seasons before I upgrade boats. I'm not paying for marine grade at this point. I checked online for CDX and Home depot has RTD which I'm thinking is their version of...

    Trailer roller help

    So my sea king trailer for my 14ft is from the late 60's or early 70's I think. The rollers on there now are 5" long and only 2 1/2" wide. I can't seem to find any rollers at that width. They all seem to be 3" wide. I have ordered two so far that looked right in the picture only to receive them...

    14ft 1960s Foremost

    Hello all. New here, been checking out the site for a while. I recently purchased a 14ft aluminum from my buddy's neighbor. I can't find any identification anywhere on the boat, but the registration says 1968 foremost. He painted the entire boat an ugly brown and underneath the brown in the...
