    Question On Changing Stringer Location

    I wanted to mention that you should add a piece of wood over the seam maybe overlapping (sister) 6" on each side (possibly longer) because that seam will be a weak point. My stringers weren't nearly that tall and I was told that it is recommended.

    Transom rot

    Hi Jmusick, I had the same frame of mind for my project. My boat is pretty common in my area but none are water worthy but mine is. This was my first and a huge learning experience that I am glad I went through and if I decided to do it again there were many lessons learned that will make the...

    I also wanted to mention that I did use the grinder with 36 grit flapper wheels to grind the gelcoat off.

    Question On Changing Stringer Location

    I found that the carbide tipped metal blades worked for me the best with the lower rpm as you stated.

    1981 Sportcraft 270 repair underway - transom, stringers, & repower

    only left around an inch or two of play on either side of any areas I cleaned for bonding, mainly because I am hustling to make sure I get both of these main stringers bonded in before the first freezing temps come in (northern Ohio, we've already had a few 40's days, so just kinda hustling...

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    One of the things I wanted to do in the future was rewire the boat well I think I came across the motherload! There were throwing this away at work and I couldn't pass it up. I will make notes on what color replaces the factory colors for future reference.

    Question On Changing Stringer Location

    I agree about the cutoff wheel. I started my demolition with one but bought a multi-tool which was much easier to manage in tighter areas and didn't make nearly the amount of dust. Not to mention what I thought to be safer.

    Replacement Cables

    Hi Todd, The first pic is the throttle OMC 2.3. I did my best trying beind the side panel. There is an attachment point where both cables are side by side but can't get a clear picture of it so I don't know what may or may not be part of the cable itself. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Replacement Cables

    Hi all, I have an 88 capri 1750 BR and wanted to ask if anyone would know replacement cable part numbers for the throttle and front shift. I've been looking around and in worst-case scenario I measure and identify the connections but wanted to ask anyway. The ones I currently have are red which...
