I have a mid 90's 15HP Evinrude on a 1648 Jon. It has been on my boat for a year now. I have put about 15 gallons of fuel through it so far with no problems. It pushes it about 15 MPH and I have been very happy. Yesterday, going across the lake in 40 foot of water, full throttle, it suddenly...

I bought two new bearing hubs with pre-installed bearings and grease. With less then 1000 miles I noticed that one of my dust cover was missing. After further inspection I find out the outer bearing had fell apart. The inner ring of the bearing remained on the axle spindle and was still held on...

I am using a Berkley portable spooling station. I pull the line off the bottom of the spool for spinning reels and off the top for bait casters. Does this sound correct? Hope someone else uses the spooling station and can help. I try to visualize if that's correct but cant with 100% confidence...

I was given a 1996 2-stroke Evinrude 15 HP. It looks clean and was told it was up and running and well kept. Less then 100 hours. Took it out today for the first time.

I have the paint off my tin inside and out with the exception of the bottom. The boat is sitting on my trailer. Before I take it off the trailer and flip her over do I need to go ahead and prime her :) . Reason I am asking is I need some welding work done and it might be a few weeks before I...

I did a water test on my boat today and I was pleased. Only a few leaks that can be fixed easily with some tig welding. But I discovered some issues with the transom that has me concerned. There are places where the aluminum seems to be thin and dissolving. Almost seems like its from the inside...

I have a 1648 that needs the paint removed. I am comfortable with a professional sandblasting firm to do it. The question is if you would go back and pay someone $150 to have yours stripped. Looking back would you have now paid that amount of money-- would of it been worth it, supplies, your...
