    1987 Starcraft islander 190v?

    Most times the anodes are on the outboard. As long as you got a good connection between the hull and the anode I don't see an issue. Just use a multimeter to check resistance between an anode and some exposed metal on the hull. As long as you have no resistance, should do the trick. SHSU

    Where do I belong? Alum Goods 1687, SS16 Clone?

    Looks really good!!! Impressed with your thought to detail on the curvature. I didn't install my padding back as I didn't think people would be resting against it, but love the finished look. The front access hole, my PO cut a whole in it to get to the front area too. I don't know why...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    I didn't have issues with my T-nuts falling out, but I liberally coated them in epoxy while I was sealing the base. Just ran a tap through before I did the install with no issue. Once you get bolt in them, I don't see an issue. Its just in the interim if you leave them free. SHSU

    Anodes: For freshwater, magnesium is the preferred metal For Saltwater, zinc is the preferred metal I just drilled a hole through my skeg and installed a circle anode there. SHSU

    Second, having a working tach. Good to know how hard you are pushing the engine. As for the fuel, I am with you now hearing that you dropped oil first and then gas. I know mixing it is important. I have at least 20 minute drives from where I fuel up to where I put in. So I figure there is...

    Fogging or gear case oil? Not sure what fogging oil looks like with water, but milky makes me think gear case. SHSU

    Windshield booster?

    Man, I didn't even think about having a new frame built. If I had, I probably would have done that. SHSU

    Windshield booster?

    On my build I thought about raising the windshield, but in the end didn't. Trying to get an additional aluminum frame built up to match the slope of the console/gunwale/windshield didn't seem to be a worthwhile venture. Do I keep looking at other options to extend or create some kind of cover...

    Where do I belong? Alum Goods 1687, SS16 Clone?

    Any thought on using Rusoleum Topside marine paint? Only ask as not familiar with Tremcald but guess its similar to Tractor Paint. I used the tractor paint on my build and also the Topside Marine paint. Can I tell the difference, no, but figured I would throw it out there. SHSU

    I have read you can fill with water and then put a couple drops of food coloring in. Watch where it goes and it should show you where the leak is coming from. Again I haven't tried this method myself, but if you wanted to try a more targeted approach then just doing the entire seam. SHSU

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Looks like you made it work. I just screwed it together and then backed out the screws later. Filled that with epoxy when I coated it. SHSU

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Can't comment on the Loctite for this application. I used Titebond III. No issues with failure on any wood project, boat or other, where I have used this stuff. SHSU
