Re: Bow hatches
Okay everyone sorry for late response!!!! I took boat out with a couple friends and we had a blast so now here are your photos.....
Hope with these it will shed some light to what I was referring to and we could brain storm some ideas.
I have to replace my bow hatches on my 1976 Searay SRV-195. Wood rotten so what will be the best approach? I can remove the old ones and use for templates and cut out new wood. What type of wood should be recommended? What type of sealant/resin should I apply on it? Any fiberglass needed...

So the other day I brought my boat over from storage to my house I lowered my stern drive and then this came out. This is similiar to what I have said in a previous thread about my oil in the drive. This is the color it was when I pulled oil plug to check level. Is this a indication a seal...
So my question for most of the larger vessel types such as 21' and up but anyone can assist. If your boat is equiped with large anchor that you have mounted on the bow of boat where do you stow your chain/line while it sits waiting to be dropped? As for my vessel it runs from anchor that is...
Quick question and hoping it doesn't open a can of worms lol. So today I decided to check my oil levels on my High Profile Electric Shift sterndrive and my lower unit had a white colored oil come out where I turned screw. Is this bad to have this color oil meaning water is in it? If so does...
I know what impeller kit I will need but how difficult is it to replace? Will the outdrive unit need to be completely removed both upper and lower or as easy as removing a cover and find it?
Any diagrams or instructions will be greatly appreciated. Would hate to splash boat and the find out I...
