    rodent infestation

    No one really talks about deterrents. As I previously mentioned when we moved a bird feeder away from the pole barn, mice activity greatly decreased. Our camper is on the other side of the barn under an RV shed with a stone floor. When I was putting in the stone, I also spread mothballs, another...

    What could these brackets be for?

    As a Ford guy it’s hard to say that the prize goes to Alldodge! Thanks

    What could these brackets be for?

    The silver brackets were on my 1998 Sylvan 17’ Blue Fish when I bought it from the original owners. They said nothing about a Bimini or any other top. They are on both sides. Any idea what they were for?

    Repainting a 1989 221V Starcraft Islander

    I’m in the same boat you’re in (Pun intended??). Bought a 25 yo boat in good condition just needing some freshening up. From the research I’ve done most any good oil based paint should work above water. If the boat is not left in the water it could work also below water. But there are paints...

    rodent infestation

    No issues with squirrels or chipmunks. Piney Squirrels are another story.

    Side Bunk Placement

    Off topic, but other forums I’m in have a “location“ field with the posters name, join date, post count where the poster can have their town and state listed. That would be helpful on this forum for several reasons, one of which you just noted.

    Side Bunk Placement

    That’s one of the reasons I joined this forum, to get other more knowledgeable opinions so I don’t reinvent the wheel! I’m retiring this year and this is my first boat, except for a 12’ aluminum Sea Nymph I had 30 years ago. Being a Reliability Engineer my whole career I tend to over analyze...

    With the longer bunks, do you 1 bunk support bracket or 2 per bunk board?

    rodent infestation

    Our camper shed is next to the pole barn. I keep our boat in the pole barn. Uncle Gus is a great mouse deterrent. Put about 6 throughout the camper. I keep the boat covered (do a lot of dust generating activities) and threw a couple Uncle Gus pouches in the boat for winter storage. Not sure how...

    Side Bunk Placement

    Will be replacing the side bunks as the wood is rotten. Going through the threads, I saw it was stated the bunks should be about 1” from the hull. Mine are about 4”. I could not find anything on the height. I was wanting to move the bunk brackets from the top of the trailer frame to the bottom...

    Proper Boat Grounding

    The bonding wire is confusing me. I have been on ASME Standard committees so I‘m a bit critical on the clarity of standards. Assuming the reference below is actually from the ABYC standard, the committee that wrote this standard definitely needs help on clarifying their standard as in my opinion...

    helm wiring, should be simple, i'm not too bright.

    I rebuild/semi restore 1950 Craftsman vintage drill presses and some other vintage tools. There is a guy on the garagejournal.com site that makes reproduction decals for all types of items. I have bought a few from him that he made from pictures of the original I sent him with dimensions. Very...
