Sierra makes all of the maintenance parts for the old OMC motors now. Doesn't matter if you buy it from a Evinrude/Johnson dealer for big bucks or a discount place online, it's the same parts in different packaging. You should be able to buy a water pump rebuild kit without the housing. The housing...

OK - no gaskets it is - I just wanted someone else to tell me it was OK because I wasn't sure... :-? But what do you think of the heavy scoring inside the impeller? That's the real problem here. I am supposing that maybe the original key in that old of a motor could have gotten worn down -- so I wil...

I am trying to fix cooling problems on my old 1976 Johnson 40hp outboard. It has sat up for about 8 months, but seemed to be cooling ok when I last used it. I just test ran it in a garbage can, and there was no water shooting out of the foot where it should be and it was well on its way to overheati...

Does anyone know where you can get Royal Red Shrimp? I had some in Key West, and can't wait to get my hands on some more. Any help is welcome. We got some at Joe Patti's on Pensacola bay a couple of months ago, but they said we were lucky that they had any to sell that day -- as they hardly ever ge...

Good stuff - worth watching fer sure !!

Hey Redfin - the sis-in-law passed on the treadmill

Thanks for your efforts and sending the pics of it. Good luck on selling your stuff.

Thanks guys for the info and help - I didn't even know that Thrifty Nickel was on-line. Also, I don't get the Tallahassee paper over here out in the sticks of big bend where I live...

12 Foot Boat with Trailer. Must sell. Great Shape. Call 241-8204 or 893-5129.

Could have some more information on this one above? Your $800 boat sounds nice, but I can't afford quite that much.

Need a stable boat for the river that I can have a dog or two in and go fishing and not turn over like an aluminum jon boat might. I was planning on putting a 9 1/2 hp motor on it. Boat trailer not needed, but would be ok. And I can come pick it up.

Thanks guys, but too late, hopefully the 5200 will do the trick OK. I'll take along an extra life preserver just in case.
BTW, have to watch that 5200 running out the holes until it hardens, for sure...

Just fill em and it don't have to be with 5200 :-D The main thing is to fill it from one side, till it comes out the other side, thus insuring that the hole is completely sealed :thumbup: :beer: :beer: Thanks Wevans :thumbup: - I just wanted someone else to look at what I was doing to make sure I w...

I removed a kicker motor mounting bracket from the transom. it had eight 1/4 in. bolts. The holes are above the waterline. Do you think I will be OK just filling the holes with 3M 5200 sealant? Or do you think that I need to waste those nice SS bolts just as place holders? The footprint for the brac...

Just a way to get into customers pockets again in my opinion... I quite agree - nowhere on the mailing I received did I see the $75 price tag -- it appeared a free update like a bug fix, until I went through the hassle of trying to install it and eventually calling Garmin customer service. I will l...

Re: Sears Treadmill- Great Cndition-$250, 400watt Memphis Amp: $125 -- Just today as we were walking through Sears in Gainesville, my sister-in-law talked about how very much she wanted a treadmill. They were running $500 - $700 there. Yours sounds great if it is what she wants. Could you post a pi...

Note that your VHF radio is only half of the equation here. Don't shortchange yourself by not researching out a quality antenna and a good mounting location on your boat - e.g., away from other electrical interference.

Here's a link to antenna info:
