    Mercury Key Switch - Panel Mount

    2.046 = 2-1/16" cut out. That's the direction I was headed, just wanted to make sure I was on the right track. I have a little over ~1" of material to go through with the aluminum console and 3/4" plywood backer/dash panel. Looks like I'll have just enough length to secure it.

    Mercury Key Switch - Panel Mount

    Wasn't sure if this should go in the Electrical section, or Mercury section, so figured I'd link it here as well: https://forums.iboats.com/threads/mercury-key-switch-panel-mount.756624/ Thanks!

    Mercury Key Switch - Panel Mount

    I understand most key switches utilize a 3/4" or 7/8" cutout. I am mounting a key switch to a center console and utilizing the the panel mount cover/switch mounting plate. Does this require a 2-1/16" cutout? I can't see any other way to do it.

    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    I believe Watermann suggests to use cut up milk jugs between the knee brace and transom for this process. I have always seemed to have enough room where it was never really an issue for me. Just work slow once you meet any resistance and use a putty knife to ensure the bottom edge of the...

    1974 Starcraft 21’ Holiday

    Looks like you have good enough metal around the edges to rivet a new skin around the perimeter. Keep it on the flat and hammer some solids around the perimeter, 5200 or epoxy buttered in between.

    1976 Starcraft Chieftain 18' OB - restomod

    I found the Coat-it to be a little thicker than the Gluvit, wasn't quite as runny and the darker color makes it much easier to see where it is going. That being said, I picked up some Gluvit to syringe into my bow seam with the hopes it will flow into where the Coat-it didn't get to. I believe...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    What stripper are you using? I was pretty happy with Citristrip and never had to cover it with plastic.

    1976 Starcraft Chieftain 18' OB - restomod

    I agree with Watermann - leave it or just soften the visibility with some MT or other filler. It'll never be noticed on the water.

    Ss16 floor supports

    Yep, totally normal and nothing to worry about. Replace the blinds in those factory stringers as mentioned by Watermann and carry on. You'll probably notice the weight of the decking will close your gap as the stringers have a little flex to them, and everything will get pulled tight when you...

    Only way to remove it without cutting it in two is to remove the bow cap.

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Sounds to me like you might have recoated too soon, especially if your temps were low. I used the US Composites 3:1 medium cure and it called for a recoat/set time of 3-4 hours at 80 degrees. "All working times(pot life) are based upon an optimum working temperature of about 80 degrees F...

    Starcraft Rub Rail

    Yes, hot soapy water. I put mine in a big plastic tote filled with hot water and dawn dish soap. Get the channel as clean as you can and it should feed in rather easily. A needle nose vice grips on the end of the insert helps with the grip and a partner is always useful to have one on the end...
