    Recently i was running my 2017 Yamaha 115 on ear muffs in the driveway and after shutting down I could see a slight rainbow slick in the water on the driveway. Should I be concerned or is it normal?

    Battery powered pressure washer

    I did end up buying the ryobi 600 psi battery pressure washer. It has worked out great for my needs. I fill two 5 gallon buckets and can wash my 20 foot boat. Again not really using it as a pressure washer but more as portable water sprayer

    Question about water in bilge

    Have had two boats leak water. First one was due to bad transom, it was a constant drip just below the transom plate. Current boat was leaking at the self bailing thru hull. That one was a little tricky to find as it wasn't a constant leak

    Boat to store inside garage ?

    Best diy wax?

    Getting ready to do the final clean on my boat before she goes to sleep for a couple months. In the past I would polish some of the spots that had a slight oxidation in the blue gel coat and finish with collinite fleetwax. Wondering if there is something better out there to use? Currently the...

    What does wood free hull actual mean

    Seems all newish boats all claim to be a wood free design? So what are the transom's and stringer now made of if there is no wood. What happens if there is water intrusion in the transom and stringers? Is it the same process as wood in which you still need to replace or does water intrusion not...
