Rigged for Baja trailering
20" shaft motor mounted on 15" transom using jack plates. Home made "transom saver" to transfer the load to the trailer. On the front of the motor I
have a steel strap bolted to the motor and the transom to stop the motor from pivoting left/right, up/down.
Comments?

I'm going to loosen and tighten the lug nuts. I have buddy bearings and marine grade grease - lots of it.
Found this video about how to fix the REALLY STUPID no vent gas cans. At about 3:15 starts the part about installing a vent.

Great setup, but if your going to remote locations I recommend an Eide automatic car/truck loader.
Gets rid of the trailer worries.

I can't tell if you have plastic glides on your bunks or not but they really make things easy.

'86 40 horse Evinrude on a '64 14', rather heavy riveted aluminum Starcraft. Max rating 40 hp. Yup cable and pulley steering. I'm buying/installing
new stainless steel cable and rigging goodies. The pulley hangers are all in good shape.
I don't go too far off road, plus a boat on a trailer is a good cargo hauler for light bulky things like folding chairs and coolers.

I don't know what you're talking about. Is this a mysterious electronic black box of some kind? Give me a link.
What would the right prop be? But I'm not changing this one unless I need to.

It depends on how much you plan on driving it on washboard roads. I wouldn't take it on the gonzaga road for example. If you decide to do it anyway
then deflate those tires and drive slowly (<=10mph).

My wife refuses to go on washboard roads. I don't blame her. And she's much more a keeper than any fish. 8^)

THE FACTORY!!! YEP !! AND THE POWER PACK IS MOUNTED ON THE BACK OF THE MOTOR AND YOU CAN CHANGE IT YOURSELF 5 X 2 X2 BLACK BOX WITH WIRES COMING FROM
UNDER THE FLYWHEEL GOING IN AND WIRES COMING OUT GOING TO THE COILS..CK OUT CDI ELECTONICS 113-2453 TO GIVE YOU A PIC OF A PWR PACK..THEY ARE A
WEAK POINT IN A OTHERWISE VERY GOOD OLD SCHOOL MOTOR AND IF YOURS IS OLD YOU SHOULD CONSIDER REPLACING IT...AND YES" ITS EASY FOR ME TO SPEND YOUR
MONEY" BUT THAT IS A KNOWN FAILURE PART ON THOSE GREAT MOTORS..K&T

Depending on load and utilization.
When I had broken in the engine on my last Blackman skiff I got half-a-dozen props from the shop and went down to the bay, ran the boat with full
fuel and bait tank to try and get some weight in it and kept changing props until I came up with one which ran at the proper max RPM.
Interestingly it was not an off the shelf stock prop either but a reworked wheel.
Boat ran beautifully under just about all conditions.

When repacking your wheel bearings make sure that the
grease sael is in good shape. It is a double lipped seal designed to keep the grease in and the water out. If it is not sealing right you will get
water in your wheel bearings.
I always take an extra set of bearings and seals just in case.

I have Buddy Bearings. A mechanic in Ensenada replaced the bearings and seals last year. The grease now squishes out the inside of the hub. I'm
constantly adding new grease. Did he use the wrong parts? I guess I should order new bearings and seals.
Thanks for the reminder.

McFez thinks that's one swell set up! I like many of us do the wash board dance.......and this contraption you came up with is great.
At the V hold........is there a rubber padding there? How bout a close up picture?

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
