    Boat Cover Repair?

    if you can find a shop....then find one close......then wait......then repeat when the next repair is needed. gluing the strip on the inside, use tape on the outside to temporarily hold the rip in place, doesn't look too bad. repeat, use marine grade glues.

    Boat Cover Repair?

    I ordered a small roll of marine canvas, white, to patch my custom pontoon cover. I use the "5200" and Goop makes a marine grade glue. Both appear to work well and so far have gone over 1.5 years outdoor exposure. I came out to my slip last year to see a rip 2/3 across the width in the back. It...

    Is my motor sitting to low?

    not a false bottom, just the end of the motor pod for a pontoon. Mine is just an open rectangle, no vertical structures. As mentioned, a pontoon is different.

    How to kill mold on billge/engine surfaces

    will try the cleaning vinegar again, maybe I didn't let it sit long enough. Certainly safer than bleach.

    How to kill mold on billge/engine surfaces

    and then there are these out there that have no "specs" what-so-ever. Of course it says guaranteed value so I'd definitely be wrong about that one, right?

    Trailer tires.

    I get the highest load rating I can get for my tandem. Just 3 tires are still over the weight of the rig.

    Lower Unit Oil Leak

    those lower unit bolts have nothing to do with sealing anything. The just hold the gearcase on. The nuts are nylocks so not prone to loosening.

    Pushing Run-Flat tires to the limit

    same as my '08 silverado.....I have thought, when time for a new tire, about swapping the spare onto a running wheel and putting the new tire as the spare. That'd depend on my energy level at the time.

    Pushing Run-Flat tires to the limit

    "What I do now is lower the spare once a year and lube the cable and also spray the rim with fluid film, or else it will rust if steel and corrode if alu. Always check your spare!" that's the trick, do the routine maintenance....lube the mechanism.
