free boat

[samie]

I was given a boat with a 115 evinrude. Is there a way to raise the tilt and trim without a battery?

Yeah - If I tell you are you giving me the boat? I mean you advertised it as a "Free Boat"

There is (should be) a slotted screw on the trim cylinder. If you open the screw you should be able to raise or lower the motor.

Well you are right I did say that. I will try the screw. This is a 16ft fiberglass boat I think from the 80s. Has some grass growing on the carpet and will replace that. But looks to be in good shape overall. Will know more in a week. Thanks

[Capt Kid]

yea the screw should be on the port side with an access hole through the mounting bracket

You might want to check the floor under that grass growing carpet. If it is soft, you are in line for a project.

[samie]

Gary 49, Pulled carpet out yesterday and you are right floor has some soft spots. Will let it dry a little and see what I am getting into on Saturday.

I would have just cut the grass and gone with the natural look.

[samie]

We are thinking landscape and maybe a pond.

A pond, you will have.

Keep track of how much this "free" boat costs.

[samie]

We are keeping a list of cost as well as hours.
