    Pre ‘61 aluminum boat repaint

    I have aqua swan 15.5’ aluminum vhull that from the best I can tell is pre 1961. It appears a previous owner painted over the original white paint with green. The green is now flaking off throughout the vessel. I’d like to give it a fresh cover of paint over the winter. Would that original paint...

    Carburetor needle either too rich or too lean

    Also inspect the emulsion tube. When you have the bowl off. I had a motor that someone prior to me owning cracked the tube trying to remove it.

Data plate is missing the last digits after VJ25… long story short I thought I had taken pictures of the hoses before pulling the carb to rebuild but apparently I didn’t. Hoping I can get some help verifying I have it connected correctly. There...

    1987 evinrude 15hp starting procedure

    10-4. I’m not the foremost expert haha as a disclaimer but know my way around the engines I have. The adjustment you have in the photo appears to be the slow speed adjustment/ mixture screw. You would have to pop the cover off and verify it runs directly to the carburetor. Typically this is used...

Spent last year overhauling lower, carb and lines etc. my issue is that at say trolling speed about 5mph on the fish finder she starts to sputter a little like it’s...

    How is the 1974 Johnson 9.9HP? Worth $370?

    Parts wise most of the items you’d need are still readily available. Hard parts like a drive shaft or something you’d have to go to eBay for. 9.9’s were made up to the early ‘00’s I believe. However if it’s not running, or you don’t have the ability to do a compression tests before buying. Then...

    Attempting to repair slow leaks in 12’ aluminum

    Agree with bronzeback here. Removing the old ones and replacing with new solid rivets is the preferred method. However if your leaks are minimal as you mentioned and just need a temporary patch to get on the water this summer flex seal may be a quick and dirty solution but definitely not...

    Attempting to repair slow leaks in 12’ aluminum

    Where are you leaking at? I had to repair multiple holes on my aluminum hull and depending on the area and size I could recommend some options that I tried. I’ve not used flex seal though
