looks good!! your going to love it!!

To fix the steering you will need to turnnthe zinic above the prop, tuern it in the derction that it is pulling. Just a little goes a long way!! Might have to try it a couple of times to get it right, but should be all you need to do!

Good Luck!!

All these new motors, making me jelious!! I want a new motor!! :'(

Pipe down MJ - Your old Yammi 175 is still runnin strong! Your day will come, just hope it is later than sooner!

By the way, on your fishing pics that you recently posted, I noticed that the stress crack on the forward fish box made its way through the Durabak stuff you put on your deck.

Question - did you try to fill those cracks before applying the deck coat, or did you just put it on hoping it might fill the stress cracks? I've got pretty much the exact same type of cracks around my fish boxes. I V'd them out and filled with Marinetex, but they came back, only now they are a good bit smaller. Thanks

Till this moment no one noticed but CB, :'(

Yes I sanded the hole deck, and then filled all screw holes, and cracks with Bondo.
I had a few and I did not want to break the bank with marinetex.

This is the only one to come back??? And I am pretty mad about it!!

I was going to and still might?? Going to regrind it and refill it with marinetex to see if that would be a better
fix? But now I don't know?

Mine to has gotten much smaller, But I am not sure I want to grind the whole thing out, or just this thin crack?

Well I will do something, I have been waiting for the rain to stop!

I will let you no if it returns again, I hope not!!

I don't really think its anything to worry about. I just thought I'd ask. You're like me most of time - if the fish don't care, neither do I!

I've been thinking about doing something to my deck for a while and I wanted to get the lowdown on how to handle those pesky cracks! Its nice to know that most didn't come back...

Thanks,
Blue
