    Type of sealant to use

    I get that people like the regular silicone, At the shop the paint dept removes some of the hardware for repairs and such. I'm usually involved in helping. I just don't like messing with it. 4200, lifeseal, 400, are ok to get off. Don't use 5200 unless it's never coming apart again!

    Type of sealant to use

    Dont use regular silicone. It’s close to impossible to clean up if you need to take it apart later, and it doesn’t seal well with gelcoat.

    Type of sealant to use

    Attempting to seal them areas from the outside edges don't work. All it does is make a mess. Then when you decide to do it right by removing them, you have to clean up the mess. I've never broke a window, or portlight removing them. Just proceed carefully, heat the area slowly with a heatgun and...

    Bow Stopp Guidance

    Can't get a pic of mine right now as the trailer is at home buried in snow and the boat is at the cabin buried upside down also. I took the bowstop, it previously had a v-hull on it. I cut off the post for the bowstop and turned it to fit the upper rubrail. Then replaced the bunks to fit hull...

    Is it worth getting a VHF with AIS in it?

    Around here, Lake Superior, I only boat around the bay and Apostle islands. You lose cell signals when between islands, and handhelds don't reach to far. So it's good to have AIS. On smaller areas inland it's not needed. It's a good thing to have if you get in trouble.

    Darn Mice Can Be Expensive

    Had a wasp nest in the shed at the cabin. No access as it's got a plywood celing. I drilled a hole just below the soffit and stuck the insect fogger in there and let it run till smoke was coming out the soffits. Did that twice. Havent had any bugs for years!

    350 mag mpi strange fuel pump relay problem

    Not sure on yours, I was working on a volvo once. Had an issue with the same thing. Diagnosing was doing similar things. Replaced both relays, it still acted up. Located another relay, in the front of the motor not in the box up top, it was on the right side looking from the front. Replaced that...

    replaced gimbal bearing in merc alpha 1. cannot get alignment tool to engage with engine coupler at all. have tried to move bearing every way

    Volvo AD31P needs constant bleeding

    I’ve had to fully clean the engine and bilge to find slow leaks. Lay down white oil sorbs under the engine and you will find them.
