    "Wanted" 20" Mid section for Johnson 175

    Jdb, I'm interested. How much are you asking, and where are you located? Water Bug, where would the shaft extension go, top of the shaft, or somewhere in the bottom in the LU? Just asking, as I don't see a extension up top(got the lower off).

    Black Check in Lackawaxen, PA

    So I saw a truck towing a black with blue fade Check past my house yesterday. Powered by a Merc, and if I had to guess I would say it was maybe an Enchanter. Maybe a bit smaller, as I just got a glimpse. It's a private community so I'm pretty sure the guy is local, as you can't launch without a...

    Tri-mate 2 over haul.

    Wow, the boat came out great. I can't wait to finish my 77!

    Which steering kit?

    That's a good point. Rack just seems simpler. Where do you get them for $370 plus shipping? I only seem to find them for about $400. Tho I did find a rotary for $350.

    Which steering kit?

    Looks like I'll just go with the dual, and take it with me if I change boats.. better be safe than sorry. One question. Is the dual steering just a backup in case one of the cables breaks? Or does the second cable help with control of the engine at speed? Also is the rack setup better than the...

    Which steering kit?

    I was afraid that they might not be upgradable. As for the Bass Boat dealer, I wouldn't even know where to start looking. Any idea what the cheapest good dual cable is? I see them for about $400 and that's not too far off from hydraulic. Also I would need it with both cables as the one I have is...

    Which steering kit?

    I'm in need on a new steering kit. Not sure if I will keep the boat, or go bigger so I don't want to spring for the dual cable just yet. My question is which no feedback kit would be upgradable to dual cable, by just adding the cable later on. I have been looking at a few, but it really doesn't...

    1980 20' Enchanter with a 25" Johnson 175

    Hey guys, new to the site and to Checkmates. I recently picked up a 77 Trimate 2 with a Johnson 175 on a whim. I got a decent deal and it was worth it to just get it for the motor(had over $1000 in service last year). When I took the boat out to test the motor it was kicking water everywhere...

    "Wanted" 20" Mid section for Johnson 175

    Basically because I think the engine is too long for my Checkmate with the 25" section. I picked it up not paying any attention(or lack of Checkmate knowledge), and now I have some issues. The motor was on a Trimate 2 and it was so low that the mid section was parting the water and causing it to...

    "Wanted" 20" Mid section for Johnson 175

    As the title states, I need to shorten down my 89 Johnson 175.
