    Started on the frame for the deck today with the spare wood I had,Gunna finish adding the braces and hatches tomorrow after I pick up more wood.I was planning on using 3/4 ply for the deck that's why I went with 2x2s for the frame but I'm gunna be adding quite a few more braces so I'm wondering...

    Can this Johnson throttle arm be fixed?

    This motor came with an old boat and trailer I bought and id like to use it on my new tracker 1542,Its a 1981 7.5 hp and It starts right up but all I'm able to do is idle.The previous owner found a tiller handle replacement kit on eBay for $125,I'd like to find a cheaper kit or try and fix it...

    That's a great idea thanks,I was thinking I could deck it without braces and make it removable as well,You think 5/8 ply is the best way to go? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
