    Bunk height?

    Im looking at this again as the boat just seems to sit up high on the trailer. The 2 bunks are 2x3 with the 3" standing upright, so the boat is 3 inches off the frame of the trailer. I see that ShorelandR has a bracket that I can buy that I can lay the 2x3 on it side, and right on the frame of...

    Bunk height?

    Where I put my boat in, the water level isn't that deep and I have a hard time getting the boat (15' Aluminum flat bottom Grumman) off and on the trailer. I noticed the bunks are attached with adjustable brackets that hold the bunks up off the frame about an inch or so. Before making any...

    Another "Water Pump" issue thread.....

    OK, I put a bigger trash can under it, filled it so the water level was about half way between the lower unit joint and the bottom mount, right about where it would naturally sit when on the water, ran the engine till it was getting to warm to the touch and nothing...... I am getting water...

    Another "Water Pump" issue thread.....

    1997, 30 hp evinrude, long shaft. This is a new to me motor, and I am new to the outboard motor world, fairly mechanically inclined and to make matters worse, I own a lot of tools..... When I bought the boat and motor, I didn't want to hear it run (not that it would have) because it had old...
