Well Last night was fun,
I installed a Uflex Dual Cable, Standard Rotary Helm, T72FC-where an old 1997 R/P set up had actually gummed up on me so bad I finally replaced everything. If anyone needs help just let me know...It wasn't too bad --but trying to drill a 3-1/4" hole where you already...
Hey Ondarvr this is for you bud,
I have read many places when i am looking up gelcoat painting and i have even found comments by you in other forums--i wont mention here...
My question is when i was reading in the other forum it sounds as though you either work for a lab or are in a fiberglass...
Hey Guys,
Question--
I am wanting to repair a few areas on the boat and I have done so in the past with just one or two layers of Clear Gelcoat on top of polyflake. But in doing so I added a Catalyst like MEKP to the mix so it would cure properly.
My question is If I am covering an area...
Hey guys,
I had my boat sitting pretty much all semester while i was attending school this fall and i finally got to go fishing the day b-4 thanksgiving. My problem is when i got to the lake before i put the boat in the water i noticed the rack and pinion steering to be stuck. Thank goodness...
Guy,
Where do you find good used outboards. I looked on this site but they are all new outboards. I am looking for a Good used 175hp Merc. I have checked Craigslist, ebay,etc....all the usual haunts but don't really find just the outboards by themselves.
Any suggestions?
Well today was a bad day on the water --30+ mph winds and I got blown into a dock that was not protected very well and ended with this.
Any suggestions from the Pro's? and Yes that is Metallic flake on the boat. It is a 1997 Nitro Bass Boat.
Does it need to go to the shop or can i do...
Well,
After 2 attempts at getting my gel-coat looking absolutely brilliant the shine will just not stay. After a month or so it looks horrible.
I have wet-sanded in my attempts until i can't wet-sand no more. used Meguiars compounds to try and restore that clean and shiny gelcoat look(with...
I don't know what is going on with my motor.
I can't seem to keep the boat at the correct idle? My Mechanic and I both worked on the unit yesterday to just give it a tune up as it was cutting-out in the water from two days ago.
So yesterday we cleaned the carbs -checked compression on all...
Hey guys,
I was wanting to know if anyone here has pics of their Humminbird XP-9-20 Single/Dual Puck Transducer that has been split from the SI ducer and inside of a Nitro Bass boat. I am wanting to split out the 2-d portion of the sonar for running the boat at higher speeds and eddie at...
Hey Guys,
I have done quite a bit of work as far as scratches on gel-coat and have been able to repair those and re-apply gel coat with no problems and even had somewhat of a decent match on the polyflake with it. My question is I have a few small(1/8-1/4" holes) that were made from a Fish...
Hey Guys,
just got my New HB 997c SI and the power cable is only 6ft long. I don't have anything to tie into under the console (that i know of--haven't checked yet--but i dont think i do--been raining alot everyday lately). Anyways someone had suggested i run some SO Wire to the battery and...
Ok guys,
I have finally finished my gel-spot repair and it looks to be ok- I sprayed the last couple coats of just clear with a preval sprayer. Of course when gel-coat drys and cures it dry's do a dull finish(and when sprayed it also has an oprange peel to it as well). Now I know how to wet...
Hey Guys,
I am kinda stuck here. I thought i had the necessary steps to repairing my gel-coat but I am starting to doubt what i am doing i guess.
First off i am using US composites Clear Metalflake gel-coat with MEKP and I am using a surfacing Wax. I think this is where i am a little...
Ok guys, BTW--it is a 1997 force 120hp motor
New Problem. As of a few months ago i replaced the water impeller, thermostat and gave the engine a tune-up with new plugs and everything.
the Boat usually has had no problems but i have only had it out about three times since all this took place...
Hello,
Ok my next project is to make some small repairs and I do mean small --they are only nicks and gouges that measure no bigger than a dime for most and maybe a nickel size gouge on one of them. I have about six or so little minor repairs, to make the boat look brand new.
I am not able...
