Idles great, revs great in neutral, but boggs down under load. Doesn't die but I can only do 4 - 5 mph. Primer bulb stays firm. This model doesn't have a choke. It has a primer pump that you pull out a few times before cold start. If I pump if fast enough, I can get up on a plain and it runs...

I have some rivets that need to be replaced and I have no idea on what size to get. I have a 1436 made out of very thin aluminum. What length rivets do I need? I whatched a video and they made it look really easy to drill out the old rivets. I assume I need to do this in order to find out what...

I have a small Highlander (I think) trailer that needs new bearings and possibly hubs. The hubs are pretty rusted and the greese caps have been missing for a couple of years. (I launch at a private ramp at the camp) I have done wheel bearings before on cars, but that has been several years ago...

Found this recipe on line and have made it twice with excellent results. https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/chipotle_lime_bacon_wrapped_shrimp/ Also grilled some bacon wrapped scallops and drizzled some chili butter on them after they came off the grill. About a half cup of clarified butter...

I noticed my transom is craking in the top rail where the corner braces are. I guess I need to get this welded up and maybe even some extra bracing. One side is a very small crack. The other side is a little worse. It goes from the corner brace, across the top and down the back of the transom...

I used a wire wheel for paint removal several years ago with good results. Of course I didn't know you were supposed to use a stainless steel one. Is this what I sould use? https://www.harborfreight.com/4-1-2-half-inch-stainless-steel-knotted-wire-wheel-91282.html This one looks like it may be a...

I have some rivets that need to be replaced along with several other repairs that need to be done. But for now, I plan to get the leaks under control until my schedule clears up enough to make permanent repairs. I was thinking about using some type of silicone around the rivets. I've heard that...

Eventually I want to upgrade from my 1436 to a 1648. I fish rivers and bays. I really like flat bottom boats, but was wondering how much better do mv's handle chopy water. I would imagine a lot better. Not sure I like the floors in a mv though. And is there any difference in the amount of draft...

I have an 8hp evinrude that the grip on the handle has come off. It is hard plastic and is hard to turn when my hand gets wet. Not to mention all the bumbs or knobs or whatever they are that held the original grip on tear my hand up. I would like to wrap something around it to make it more...

Has anyone ever purchased a refurbished trolling battery? There is a local battery store here that sells them for $25. Are they worth fooling with or should I save up a little more for a new one? Right now I'm running a smaller portable battery (40 amp hr I think). I have a 30 lb trolling...

I've been reading the forum for a few weeks and let me say this place is filled with great info and ideas. I have a 8hp envinrude. Not sure what year but I would guess it was made around 1990 from pics I have seen. Motor runs great but last weekend it quit shifting. It will go in reverse and...
