i replaced the plywood under the lids with 3/4 in marine plywood, and fiberglass it with 1.5 matted fiberglass. followed by a layer of 1078. my question is should it be just painted or a gelcoat layer brushed on? any advice would be appreciated. jet,

HI, i was wondering if anyone here has used a Deutsch connector and what did they use for a crimping tool? The vendor wants $300.00 for the crimper and i really dont want to pay that much if someone has a better and cheaper way. jet.

Hello I have a 86 v20 c/c, and tomorrow I will be looking at a 96 Evinrude 225. I read some of the reviews here under the search. The engine I read is reliable and easy to maintain, but a gas guzzlers. What I'm looking for is what should the compression readings be? I read no more than 5%...

does any one know how to remove the wooden trim on the helm wheel? i dont want to break it thanks jet

well i got that 85 Johnson seized 150 engine torn apart. i had to cut off the exhaust housing with a cutting wheel to separate it from the block. i split the case and removed the pistons and rods. i enclosed a few pictures. i didn't think a seized engine would come apart so easily. jet
