if my mind is working today I remember that some axles are engineered with a weight limit and then they are made with a pre-load built into them so when the load is applied it then straightens out so tire wear is controlled. sizing a axle is important and bigger is not always better. just my...

Wondering if crossing the safety chains is a fact or myth. The length would have to be considered including your turning radius. Also, does a skid strap on the bottom of the tongue work at all or would it add to the problem if the coupler became disconnected and would it be needed if the chains...

Howdy, the button on the end of the throttle is the emergency/ lanyard kill switch and it does work. O.K. I now understand the details of synchronization of the ignition and fuel system. The knob you talk about has a "spacer" type bar that will allow, or not, the retard of the...

pappy, thanks for the response and I am now aware about the oil mix on my 57 johnson, it seems that the oils they mixed then are not the same as today...so a 20:1 will work . My 88 25hp Evinrude/tiller is up and running strong then I discovered the hard way that the repair I made on the shifter...

I'm waiting for some parts to arrive to fix my rewind starter on a 25hp 88' Rude. It's been a long time but I am just about finished with it.( tore it apart and fixed it plus paint) I will post some pic's later. While I was sitting and enjoying my accomplishments my eyes strayed over to my 1945...

just sitting here recovering from a triple bypass I was lucky to get about 3 weeks ago...they say I am good for another 25 years or so depending on how I take care of this rebuild! I have an entire new outlook on things now but thats behind me. Do any of you know what and where I can get a...

Very interesting info. I have a 1979 Mirro-Craft "resorter"(14) and the hull I.D. tag says max hp is 25. if you look at the exact same model on Mirro-Craft's web the max rating is now 15hp. I wonder if 25hp in 79' is less powerfull than todays 25hp? Just curious about it. Anyone know the answer. :?:

Hey baitcaster, no the motor looks and runs like new. I did replace the lower unit when the water impeller base plate bushing/bearing froze up due to corrosion. New ones are getting harder to find and cost around $130-145 but I found the entire lower unit on e-bay for $40 and "poof" I'm up and...

just my 2 cents but if it runs and it's what you want then go for it. Take a look at what a new 5-6hp will cost (4 strokes) and then ask yourself if it's worth it. My 5 1/2 1957 johnson is worth it's weight in gold to me cause it runs great and could not be replaced with a new one for a tenth of...

I'm trying again to post this, somewhere I lost the first one!I started about 2 years ago and now I believe that it's finished. The decking came in sections as I needed them...should have just did the entire boat from the begining.The locker boxes were next and work great, no more loose tackle...

If you look on MMO web they have instructions/formula for using their stuff...it is not considered a substitute but an additive of sorts!I use it in my 95 Ford F150 6 banger(fuel additive) and see results every time...better fuel mileage but just don't see an advantage in my 25hp RUDE'. Just my...

just wanted to mention that Arizona is trying to pass some more gun laws that will again prove that lawfully owning and carrying a weapon is in the citizens rights as well as the constitution of the USA. you may want to look at some recently passed laws and the new proposed ones for some...

forsythia...sex only matters if your a fish and it's spawn time! :? I would like my wife to be as "hooked" about this sport and tin boats as I am.She is a lot happier now that the big bass boat is someone else's. This site is great and all though I'm a newbie to you I say WELCOME... :mrgreen:

Hey everyone, I'm in Arizona and have been since 86'.I love the weather even when it's hot...as long as I can keep cool! I am retired for health reasons from the woodworking machinery industry(service/repairs/installs/training etc.) working part time in retail and enjoying time with the wife...
