    Sacrificial anodes on an aluminum hull - Advice needed

    I test my anode for connectivity between it (skeg) and different metal points on the hull. Thus far, I have gotten clean signals of connectivity whenever I have tried. Think its the thru bolts that are conducting the signal. SHSU

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    T- nut Also, I had extra plywood so I created 1.5 inch flooring under the seat bases by using it as the backing. No complaints thus far.

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    No experience with RTD, but CDX or BCX should do just fine. I would go with one sheet of 3/4 glued in half. That being said, technically plywood is just a bunch of sheets glued together so one glue or two is up to you. Floor should have been 1/2 from factory. I went with 3/4 as I am a...

    Sacrificial anodes on an aluminum hull - Advice needed

    Same here. When I was going crazy during my build, @Watermann is the one that told me to keep it simple. Even though I am in salwater most of the time, we don't dock by any power nor are we in the water longer then 12 hours. So the anode on the motor seems to be enough for us. SHSU

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

    I added wire to mine to get to my batteries. I didn't cut the charging wire though as it would void warranty. Just twisted the extra wire around it, liquid electrical tape, followed by electrical tape. Haven't had an issue thus far. SHSU

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Depending on your access to water, if you can drive to a lake that is the easiest. Just need a couple buddies or couple hundred pounds to just hang out for a couple minutes next to the dock with a grease pencil. Then any leaks found, just circle. The other option, while not recommended, is...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    A lot of blue tape. I taped off everything, both vinyl and aluminum side. Think I have a picture or two on my build thread showing how I did it. I will have to go see if I can dig one up. SHSU

    I did 3/4 BCX, no treated lumber in an aluminum boat. I am a bigger guy and didn't want any bowing under foot when walking around. SHSU

    You are trying to use aluminum instead of wood for your flooring? SHSU

    1987 Starcraft islander 190v?

    Definitely a night and day difference. If you have room, suggest some kind of rubber cushioning to keep the tank from rubbing a hole where it contacts the aluminum you are adding. SHSU

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

    I created my two livewells to run separate. That way I can leave one dry or run different refill schedules depending on the bait. That being said, don't know if I would run pipe for something I "might do". Other option is to prerun a couple pull lines. That way if you do decide to do it, its...

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Doesn't look like a Super Sport. Splashwell and bow rise don't look right. That being said, my SS16 is rated for 90 HP. Any pictures of your knee brace? SHSU

    Help with a drainage problem

    Second what @ShoestringMariner said. I did remove mine, but made no improvement to the "channel". With how I laid the flooring, it prevents anything from falling below. Otherwise, I just try and keep the bilge as clean as possible. If I ever redo or someone does, I will ask them what they...
