    Minn Kota tension adjustment

    Question on a Minn Kota Maxxum 24v. 74# thrust. It turns way too easy. I tried tightening it up using the adjustment screw on the foot pedal, it's tightened up all the way and it still whips from left to right and vice versa way too easily. Not sure if the cables are stretched or what...

    Best sealant for unprimed aluminum

    Re-skinning transom. What is the best sealant for unprimed aluminum (UPA) below the waterline? Have read that 5200 attacks UPA. Was strongly considering butyl tape. Seems like a decent choice, convenient to use, not so messy, stays flexible, etc.

    Transom replacement

    Just bought a 16' Grumman deep vee. Need to replace transom. Everyone thinks marine plywood is the bomb, but in reality the only difference between that and regular plywood is the marine version uses a higher grade of veneer, (i.e. no voids) and waterproof glue. In the past I have used...

    Info on Grumman/Evinrude combo

    Looking for info on this Grumman boat. I'm thinking the model might be the "Skidaddle?" Don't know too much about it yet, other than what you can see in the picture. I'm guessing maybe mid-80's? Cowl on the motor might mot be the original color, but looks to be somewhere in the late 80's/early...

    Saved 2 tinnies from the scrap man. One is a 12' Lone Star. Tag on seat says "Little Fisherman," not sure if that is the model? The pics are the Lone Star. The other one has current registration which says the boat is a...."1955 Viohol," anyone ever hear of that name? I'll have to get some...

    OEM foam in seats

    Considering making a battery compartment in one of my side seats that is filled with foam. I've always heard guys say, "don't cut the foam out of your seats, that's for flotation!" My question is, doesn't that only come into play if your boat is capsized? In that case, I'm thinking I'd have a...
