I was looking at navigation lights on walmarts website and came across a this bow light/horn combo. Seems like a good way to kill two birds with one stone, but I can't find any details on how they wire up or anything about it. I was hoping someone has seen or used one...

How exactly do you know when the thermostat is stuck on an outboard without a temp gauge?

I have had these seat bases on my boat for about 3 years now. The problem is that the plastic bushing in the center seems too small to me. The pin that goes into it takes a lot of force to pull it out. I've even had one that I had to eventually use a propane torch on to melt the plastic...

Today, while working on putting a new floor in the boat, I finally got around to checking why the front of the boat sits so low on my trailer. Just in front of the bunks was a roller that at some point had disintegrated. The boat was sitting on the metal bracket alone. I have no idea how long...

I have a 2002 Yamaha F25 4 stroke on a 16 foot G3 jon boat. I just bought the motor back in March of 2016 and didn't run the motor that much over the summer. At the end of duck season I had the boat out loaded down with decoys and the motor seemed extremely sluggish at WOT. I was thinking a...

I am thinking about getting rid of my wood floors in my jon and switching to aluminum. I am thinking that .05 5052 aluminum should suffice, but I wanted to check to see what gauge you guys have used.

Two weeks ago I bought a 2002 Yamaha 25 hp 4 stroke and the previous owner had a hydrofoil on it. I have not yet got the boat on a lake because of work and family, but I am looking for opinions. Is a hydrofoil really worth it? I hunt and fish a lot of stumpy areas and it seems to me that the...

I finally gave up on my 72 johnson 25 and bought a 2002 Yamaha 25 hp 4 stroke (F25ESHA) yesterday. I broke my own rules of not buying without a compression test or hearing it run, but based on the condition I was willing to take a chance. While reading up on maintenance requirements (this is...

Two years ago I bought a Humminbird 571 hd di fish finder for my boat. In the past two years I have put it on the boat (kept in my truck the rest of the time) a grand total of two times. My uncle is in the market for a new fish finder and I mentioned that I might be willing to sell mine. He...

Some might remember that a few months ago I was asking about a Johnson 9.9 my uncle had that had a thrown rod. A few weeks back he and I went hunting for a new one for him. After looking at two others, both of which were short shafts even though the sellers said they were long shafts, we took...

An uncle of mine recently bought a boat with a 1990 Johnson 9.9 on it. He ran the motor 3 times with the motor running perfectly. Fourth time out it fired right up and idled great but when he tried to throttle up it would choke out and die. He took it to a mechanic up there and he got the...

This is from a local craigslist ad. Lists it as a 22' but doesn't give any more details on it. Now I have seen the 24' Sea Arks, but this thing just looks ridiculous....can you imagine making a turn in that thing?

Ok, so a few months back my Uncle passed away after battling heart disease for years. My Aunt has decided after a lot of encouragement to sell his boat. The boat isn't worth too awfully much....he didn't abuse it but he used it pretty hard dragging it in and out of strip pits he used to love...

I have a 1972 Johnson 25 horse that needs gears, but I refuse to pay what the parts places are asking for them and so far have yet to find any used gears. I have a line on a 1986 Evinrude 20 horse at a decent price but it is a pull start. So, my question is would I be able to use the starter...

Soon I am going to be looking for a new outboard for my jon boat. I am looking for opinions on a good solid used motor to look for. Right now I have a 72 Johnson 25 horse on it and it has some issues that with some money invested could be fixed but I would like to step up in horses instead of...

Took the boat out today. Last time I had it out, I had absolutely no problem starting her up. Today she wouldn't fire up at all. Changed the plugs while on the water, still nothing. Got home pulled the plugs and checked the spark and it was good. There is fuel coming out of the fuel pump...

After duck season ended, I was finally able to get started on the mods. I would have liked to remove the center bench altogether, but didn't want to lose any structural strength. But I definitely wanted an easier way to move from front to back then stepping over the middle bench....bad knees...

I am trying to decide how I want to mount my fish finder. I know I want it on the rear bench seat, but can't decide exactly how and where to put it. I was wanting to see some pictures of where everyone else has theirs back near the rear bench. Thanks in advance Chris

...but when a 2 bank onboard charger is listed as having 8 amps total output that means that there are 4 amps going to each bank? (assuming that both batteries need to be charged, if not then the additional amps are transferred to the other battery) I was looking at the Cabelas onboard...

Guess I should have read a little further down...posted this in the classifieds and it got deleted. I am looking for some anchormates, the prices for new ones seem ridiculous for what they really are. If anyone has any that are just sitting around gathering dust please contact me. Chris
