Re: 1968 13-footer Oar Lock Repair

True. Probably over thinking it. But I’m now thinking about side mount sockets. I think they will go about 11-inches from the gear locker seat.

Re: 1968 13-footer Oar Lock Repair

I called CARPLUGS. They will make them [that is, I presume, the molded insert that goes into the open oarlock to prevent intrusion of water into the hull as seen above in the initial discussion--jimh] for only $0.19-each. The problem is 5000 pieces minimum order.

Re: Tilt Lock Support While Trailering

[The trailer support on the engine] broke while I was driving. When I got home, noticed the engine was [supported] on the shallow water support. No hydraulic tilt, all manual. Trailer support arm, like a motor support bracker? I don't have one, should I install one? No operator manual, looking for o...

Tilt Lock Support While Trailering

[I am] new to boating. I was trailering with [a 1985 Evinrude E25RLCOS engine] tilted up all the way. Part # 329498 Tilt lock support snapped. I ordered a new one: $50 for a piece of metal. Geez. Do I trailer with the engine all the way up? Right now the motor is resting on the shallow water drive, ...
