    Have your local Evinrude dealer do a search on “Dealerport”. They can look up old parts at all dealers nationwide. You will need the part number. There are alot of older dealers that have old parts in stock. Hope this helps you out.

    If you had any warranty work done – Evinrude will have a record of it. Any Evinrude dealer can look up the information online using your engine Model & Serial number. Please contact Evinrude directly using their customer service phone number. Also, we used to keep all hard copies of service work orders for YEARS so we could look up the information if needed.

    Don’t feel bad, when I was in the boat business we had a few we had to winterize twice.. You just never know what mother nature will throw at you. I am enjoying this fall.

    Thanks! That was entertaining. We don’t live too far away and have been through there many times. Even had lunch at the cafe a time or two..

    It doesn’t look like it from the Evinrude website. They have a parts lookup feature. You would need the model of the 1996 motor, or the part number off the T&T unit..to be sure. Otherwise, call a local dealer, they should be able to tell you if it would work. Sorry, I don’t have those books any longer..

    Try Evinrude customer service phone number. They may have a solution for you. Their older parts went to the west coast and some may be located for you..

    Nada is really low. Try a dealer that has ABOS marine blue book.

    We had the local upholstry place come and measure and he whipped them up in a day or so. I ordered the material direct from the place that supplies to Alumacraft and ordered the snaps from Alumacraft. That way everything matched perfectly. I would think any upholstry place could do the same thing for you.

    I second Flynn’s. They made quite a few covers for our customers. Quality work.

    No problem. You explained it well!
    I miss the fishing boat sales and our CUSTOMERS the most.

    We had a few custom covers built for them with the same type/color upholstry fabric and put snaps on them. We double folded the material so it was smooth on both sides. That way you could snap the covers on for storage and unsnap them while fishing for ease of use.
    Sorry I thought I had photos, but they must be on another computer.

    Thank you for posting this. It is great to see a town come together to protect their own. This is America.
    My son is looking at ROTC, he comes from a long line of soldiers.

    I’ve never seen that type of problem with any Alumacraft jon boat. I sold them for 15 years, plus our business sold them since the 70’s.. Talk to Alumacraft warranty dept. You may have to contact Arkansas as that is where they are made. They stand behind their product.

    That sounds correct from what I remember. Dad has all the old manuals at his house…

    I agree, lovely dogs. I had one when I was a youth. She was trained to hand signals for hunting and would stay within a certain area around me hunting. She also loved to ride in the boat. She was a great dog.

    I sold quite a few Alumacraft tunnel jon boats. All the guys loved them. Note: the ones I sold took a long shaft motor. Be sure you check out transom height.

    That motor is heavy. What rpm levels is it running? If you wish to look further into purchasing it, please have the dealer run an engine report and look up any warranty issues on the Dealer Evinrude site. We didn’t have any trouble with the FICHT motors we sold, but they had to be set up correctly.

    Yes, this is a very common problem with tons of snow & drifting. I got a call at midnight on a furnace problem and I’m not even a technician! After talking to the owner, narrowed it down to a condensate pump that had quit working. Problem solved and their house is warm.

    The snowplow truck gets stuck in your driveway… finally got him out with help from another snowplow. Thankfully I didn’t have to work today. Spent the afternoon baking.
    Stay safe everyone.

    We purchased a ’94 Chevy Lumina for our daughter at 16 – lasted until she was 20. Now she purchased a Ford Focus 4 door sedan. Much better gas mileage.
    We purchased a ’95 Grand Am – red for our 16 yr old son. (What were we thinking!!!) But no tickets, yet.. I don’t think this one will last as long though.
    He really wanted a Ford F150. Maybe next time..

    We took the trip to FL a few years ago. The kids loved Sea World. They were able to pet the stingrays and loved the shows. Everyone is right though, it is a one day park.
    Enjoy your trip!
    We booked through our local travel agent and saved enough on the hotel to pay for the rental car.

    Happy Birthday!!

    The wind is awful. We lost the top of one of our big pine trees last night. The good news is that it didn’t hit anything.
