More than likely an older bow will need a bow press to change the draw length. (Archer shop) If your DL is 27, IMO you'd be better off pull the 27" or maybe 26.5. It will help you reach the let off sooner. Also again, with those older bows just because it says 65lbs max draw weight, does not...

Thanks guys for all the advice. I did get the nut off. I used an extended 1/4 in colbat drill bit. With slow go method I drilled a hole in opposite sides of the nut. Then a with very long screw driver and hammer, gave it a good whack. The nut broke off and the shaft came out. I agree these...

Question! Are these reverse threads on this I've been trying to get ahold of the nut and turn it counterclockwise

I took it to a dealer with the tool and it wouldn't go on. It's like the nut and the end of the shaft are peened over from the broken pieces banging around in there. Then took it to a machine shop. That guy told me with the cost of Labor and no guarantee of not mucking anything else up in there...

It's about 10 inches up inside the bullet with the throwout bearing and the propeller shaft in the way. It would be beyond my welding ability

I have a 115 hp Johnson that the reverse gear gave out on. After taking it apart most of the way. I can not get the pinion nut off the drive shaft. The fragments of the gear tumbling around have buggered up the nut. I can not get a wrench on or a hold off it in any way. Any suggestions.The...

I had mine come off once. Crossing the chains and having the spare on the tongue kept it from being a disaster. Only damage was bald spot on spare.

This sounds like a good idea.

After removing the carpet I have found there is a large gap between lid and frame. I will be laying down vinyl, which wont take up enough gap. Any suggestion.

Hi all. I'm looking at a 1998 yamaha 60 hp outboard. Its been on a pontoon boat and used about 4 to 6 times a summer. Any opinions on the engine. Things to be aware of.

Thanks for the input LDUBS. This is a newer unit. It dose have the transducer. Even has the plastic film still on the screen. I'll have to ask if there is a map card. I'm not a tech guy either. I'm sure there's a learning curve with the Helix. John

Fishing buddy is wanting to sell this unit for 200.00. Any opinions on this humingbird helix 5 SI unit.

Some friends and I are trying to schedule an Off Shore fishing trip out of Freeport. Any advice on the best time of year to book this trip. Thanks John

Looking at the picture real close. It looks like there some type of locking tabs on the bottom of post. Do you have access from under the deck. You may need to pinch those tabs together to release the post.

Very nice!!

Just wanted to say thanks to tinboats.net. I've been wanting to makeover my 1989 tracker tx17. I got a tremendous amount of help by following the members builds on here. Without this site I would not have ever started the the project. My son and I wanted a second boat we could duck hunt and fish...

I got to watching some videos on PT boats. I was amazed at how much wood was used in these boats. But more so that there are not many around anymore. What a great history behind the boats. Here is one of the videos I watched. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNmB-1wq5n4

Hi davedude. That boat looks like it has New Mexico tag on it.

Hey all. I came across a way to locate leaky rivets by accident. I have a 17 ft. Tracker I'm restoring. When filling boat with water i found that some of the rivets were leaking that fastened the keel the length of the boat. It was very hard to determine which of these rivets are leaking , so...
