When you install the stringers in the boat would you cut the bottom of the stringers as the aame shape of the hull or just leave the wood flat and make sure they are level?
I’ve used tite bond 3 on wood before and that stuff is pretty damn strong. Scott would you recommend just glue only and 3 pieces pressed together? Then do all the glass work in the boat?
This old fiberglass isn’t even stuck on the wood. Looks like they didn’t even coat it before applying...
I have a Baja 24 outlaw I acquired for a restoration project. I do a lot of fiberglassing at work so I do know how to fiberglass. I will be using polyester because I’m fairly certain that’s what it was built with. I started to cut out the floor and stringers and it looks like the stringers are...
Sooo this is what I found when I took my outdrive off. Somehow one of my exhaust flappers ended up right here where the shift fork is. I pressure tested my outdrive off of the boat and now it’s holding pressure. I’m kind of stumped. Would that have anything to do with it not holding pressure and...
I did a pressure test and it’s losing pressure rather quickly. I checked the prop seal and it’s not leaking there but I can hear air hissing out of the bottom of the lower unit. Can you take the lower unit off without having to take the whole outdrive off or do you have to take the outdrive off...
I’ve found a lower seal kit but having trouble finding a upper. I really don’t wanna have to spend tons of money because i planned on selling this boat because I have another boat project I’m about to start but at the same time I don’t want to sell it with a leaky outdrive.
4.3 v6 Yamaha sterndrive. noticed when I have my drive tilted up I have gear oil coming out of one of the holes on my lower unit. I drained the gear oil and some clear water came out first then some milky gear oil but not all of it was milky. What’s the easiest way to figure out where my leak...
I was wanting to take my Polk 10 in a sealed box out and replace it with something bigger. It sounds nice but I want more bass. I was looking at the Skar evl series 12” subs plus another amp and was wandering if anyone has had any experience with them in a boat? I was gonna put them in a slot...
I noticed my speedometer hose was loose. It’s not the part that connects to the little nipple on the outdrive but I am guessing it connects to another part up in the gimbal housing? If anyone could give me a area on where to look that would be great. I currently have my outdrive off so I can...
i haven’t been able to get my boat up to speed and I can’t hammer down without it bogging. I checked with my advance timing light out on the water and it’s not advancing at all. I have replaced the module inside the distributor and ignition coil and it still will not advance. Do I need a whole...
I put a 4.3 vortec motor in my 180
bowrider (Yamaha sterndrive) with a 1409 carb that I had bought on eBay. I did some research and put different jets and rods in it but if I try to give it full throttle it just wants to bog and only does about 30-35mph since I can’t give it full throttle I’m...
