Anybody have any tips or tricks on removing the brass idle and high speed feed tubes that go through the venturi? Im going to bore my carb out but haven't figured out the best way to remove them.

Im converting my 25 to a 30. Ive got the carb, intake and throttle cam. The bypass cover is what I dont have a complete understanding of. The part number is different but what does the bypass cover actually do?

im changing up some things on my boat and I putting one of my batteries in my rear seat. I have a sealed hatch on the end where the battery box will be. On the opposite end at the top maybe 24" away there are 2 holes where the seat was formed and welded to the hull. Also, alone the bottom of...

A year ago I built I fiberglass duck boat and needed a 1" flaring tool. Because im a cheapskate and a machinist, I made one :) 2 fellow tinboats members requested the rental of one. So I figured Id start a post offering a pass. I know its not needed often so i doubt it will be much of a pass...

When I ordered my weldbilt a few years ago I bounced back and forth bench/pod seats. I went with bench and couldn't take it anymore. I contemplated it for a year. Now let me say...If you are going to reply against the idea whether it be structurally, floatation, etc. because it can and will be...

I don't know if this would be necessary but I was wondering if anyone knew of a Bigfoot style push button for bigger cable? I'm considering adding one for my rear trolling motor but mounted on the front deck. Would come in handy on electric only lakes in conjunction with my bow mount.

This isn't a Tinboat so I didn't want to post in the boathouse or anything. But some of you duck hunters may have seen (or built) one of these Hybrid NL layout/marsh boats. I built it with plans/instructions. The 'plans' are more like instructions so everything can be customized and built the...

I know this has been talked about a lot and I've read a lot. I mocked a med size beavertail pod and it has clearance but I may go with a small, or if I end up building my own i may go somewhere in between a small and med. Ive read to flush the sides and the bottom edge but with about a 1" upward...

Hey guys I have a 25hp outboard that helps tremendously on windy days to help as a "pivot" or rudder, if you will, while cruising with my bow mount trolling motor. Occasionally ill "launch" in ponds without a ramp and to keep the weight down Ill remove the outboard. Today it was 10-15mph down...

I'm headed down tomorrow for a few days to fish gaston (largemouth bass) and i got a pretty report from about 8 days ago from a friend of a friend. Anyone have any reports they're willing to share?

I went to a "private" pond today this morning for some bass action pitching a mop jig in the wood and this slab nailed my jig. Weighed in at 1.9# and 15". 2# and 15" is trophy citation in VA. Biggest Crappie I've ever hooked. Very surprised she took a jig-n-pig. We caught about 12 bass in...

I've been looking at the elite 4x and 5x. Bouncing between standard sonar and dsi. I obviously like the idea of the bigger screen, but not the price :) I don't need GPS but I'm torn between standard sonar and dsi. I've read the differences but still not sold on one or the other. I mainly bass...

Ok I built a jackplate for my boat and I went into the "wood shop" at work and snagged some plywood to laminate to get my motorboard thickness good (1-1/2-2"). Well I hadn't even thought about the 2" thick sheets of butchers block that we have. Would that make a good motorboard, just curious on...

Well with around 10-12" of rain my weekend wasn't much of a weekend although I did spend some time with the family. Work today is sucking and just like every other day ID RATHER BE FISHING! but today you can multiply that. Considering using PTO to just go pick up the boat and go (with or without...

I'd like to see what some of you creative fellas have done to lock/secure your clamp-on outboards to transom. I know they make different thing to accomplish this what have you done.

I've been reading a lot but as far as Jon boats I didn't find an answer exactly. I've been jumping back and forth between a manual jackplate or no jackplate. I have the materials to build one. So consider it a free jackplate. I would add it to solve proposing, maybe a mile or two an hour gain...

I work at a machine shop and have access to lots of materials but not what I want. I need 5ft of 4x4" x 1/4 or 3/8" aluminum angle. There's a recycling yard 30mi from me that would be cheap and they might have some but havent had a chance to check. Another option is ordering it but can get...

I have a 1548mv with a 25hp Johnson. It runs about 27-28mph with just me. Battery in front and battery in very back with gas tank. With a passenger in back with me the boat porpoises on flat water only above 3/4 throttle, but not terrible just uncomfortable. It never porpoised before I moved the...

I'm curious who has made strictly aluminum hatches. My boat has no wood (except transom) and no carpet. I would buy the plastic ones but they're expensive and I'm doing it on a budget. I'd also like to stick with aluminum for a cleaner look. I know they sell them but I work in a machine shop and...

I need to carpet 2 areas on my boat. Looking for someone with some extra from their build. I need one piece roughly 6x4ft and one 6x2ft. I would like "unused" (or light use) and matching. Not too particular on color but I do have a preference. I could buy some from cabelas but I figured someone...
