I am looking for a good fish finder for about 70 - 80 dollars. What are the best? What should I go with?

I took my boat out yesterday and I noticed 3 things after I ran my motor for a while: 1. When I kept the motor at a constant throttle position I noticed that the power went in and out some (strong for a couple of seconds and weak for a couple). 2. I just bought a brand new fuel line after I...

I came across this 99 Yamaha 15 hp for $600...Is this a good deal? Is this thing going to cost me a lot to maintain/service? Is it a hard motor to work on? https://charlotte.craigslist.org/boa/2018936340.html

Any thoughts? Is a 1982 Johnson Seahorse 15 hp a good deal for $275? The guy says it is in great running shape.

I want to learn how to serivce my boat motor on my own but I don't have time right now. How much should a shop charge to change the lower unit oil, clean the carb and replace the impeller on a 1993 4 hp evinrude?

I took my boat out today and I noticed that the water coming out of my 4 hp Evinrude was very very hot. Is this normal?

How much is this motor worth (see link below)? Is it worth 1200? I know it is hard to say without looking at it up close but even if I do look at it in detail/ up close (at the guy's shop), I will not know what to look for. Later on if I need to have maintenance done on this 98, how much...

Can any of you recommend a good cushioned boat seat at $50 or less? I see some different ones for sell i.e. Wise and Attwood. Bass Pro Shops also have some. My brother and I will need a seat that looks decent but also will support more than 250 lbs.

Hey guys, Looking to wire my boat up. I am initially going to wire a trolling motor and fish finder. Later I might add a marine radio and bilge pump. 1. I am assuming I should go with as big a battery as possible like an 18 series but will a smaller one work for all of my stuff? 2...

Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with the harbor freight website..? I have been trying to order some things (add them to my shopping cart) but I cannot get anything added for checkout. I've sent an email to them...Just thought I would check with you guys to see if it is just my...

Ok guys, Looking for a little guidance. I've got this Evinrude 1993 4 hp that needs some maintenance. First of all let me emphasize that this is the first time I have attempted to work on a motor. The motor already runs pretty good for the most part. I just want to do a little maintenance to...

My service manual says that I need OMC Triple Guard Grease and OMC Hi-Vis Gearcase Lube for some maintenance. Does anyone know of a website where I can order this without having to spend a minimum of $40 on an order? I have only found 1 website that has these and they require a $40 min order.

Wondering how much of an issue I have with the transom I just replaced. My boat is aluminum. My transom is wood. I used stainless steel bolts to secure the wood transom board to the boat. Is this going to cause alot of problems? Do I have an option here? It seems that using anything other...

I spoke to my Dad and he has an old Fastwin Evinrude 1969 model that he thinks is a 10 hp. It doesn't run and has not run for 20 years. It is also missing the prop and fuel pump. I wanted to try to take this on as a first motor project. Is it worth my time and energy? I know nothing about...

What are the pros and cons of having a long shaft vs short shaft motor? I've found a website that has brand new 15 hp 2 strokes available for $2,000 but they are long shafts. Is this a good deal?

Thinking about coating the outside of my boat with steelflex and inside with bedliner. Can anyone tell me what a suggested bedliner would be and where to get it? Thanks,

So I am finally attacking this rotten transom seen in the pic below. This is off of my 1965 14' semi V. I have a couple of questions centered on beefing this transom up. Right now it is at 1 inch. I mistakenly thought it was a 2 incher when I went to Lowes to pick up a board. The 2 inch...

Guys, Looking on suggestions on what type and size battery I should get for my 14' V-Hull. Right now I just have plans to run a trolling motor on it but later would also like to have a fish finder, bilge pump, lights, maybe a live well, and possibly a radio. Do I just need 1 average size one...

Looking for pluses and minuses of using aluminum vs. wood deck bracing. Also, is aluminum hard to work with? How easy is it to cut and what tools do you need to cut? I just have a hacksaw right now...assuming I'll need something more than this for cutting if I go the aluminum route...?

I can post pics later but just wanted to get someone's recommendation on how to get some rounded off bolts off of the transom so I can replace the wood. I wanted to work on this, this weekend but when going to unscrew the wood from my 1960's V hull, the bolts were completely rounded off. How...
