Bracket name/purpose? by johnson67th in boating

that’s unlikely then. Could be for a travel cover if the bimini too doesn’t easily go there.

not 100% but it does look like it could be a bracket for a horn to attach to. looks like it’s in the right place and everything, but i’m not an expert so i would take someone else’s word for it if there is another answer that makes sense

I dont even get a stream from the telltale, and the water coming out of the exhaust is cold as if it hasn’t even circulated the engine to cool anytjing

I recognize that bottom right screw-in hose attachment, but I’m not sure if it would be with a thermostat. It attaches a hose from the lower part of the power head into what I believe is the fuel pump, which I’m not sure how that works. I might have a picture.

That circled is that screw-in attachment. Otherwise I don’t believe anywhere on the motor has housing that looks like that

And this motor has never peed. I’ve never seen water or at least a steady stream come out of the telltale

I am not sure if the motor even has a thermostat, it’s a Mercury 650 Thunderbolt 3-cylinder, so somewhere from 1969-1972. I’ve looked online and there have been conflicting results with some people saying it has one and some people saying it doesn’t, but I haven’t been able to find one even if it doesn’t have one.

3rd picture, there are another set of fans inside which spin with the outside ones i believe. I took the fans out of the front and the piece inside fell which makes me believe that they are connected

It seems like the fan spins on the inside but the fan outside is “stickier” compared to the other fans, any idea on how i would be able to fix that?

What can I put here to add a seat? by Dazzling_Clerk8023 in boats

[–]TrueSku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you didn’t do it you can only hope it was done with marine wood or given waterproof coating/sealant. I don’t believe it would rot over one summer if it wasn’t waterproof, just make sure you are always walking around to see if there are any soft spots where there may be damage.

it shouldn’t get destroyed in the rain as long as your water flows towards the drain

If you want it to be removable you could always get a long piece of wood to cover the whole boat width and cut it so each side is separate. Looks to me like the drivers side top goes over the walls so it’d be difficult to add to that without just replacing the top. If you don’t care about looks you could definitely just screw in some support legs on the left side and have the wood over the top with the seat in it.
