    Replacing a transom on a 1989 Starcraft Islander.

    Notched trowel, very thin, a little thicker around the edges. After it was all shaped and fitted, except for the lifting tabs, I coated with several layers of spar varnish. Gotta work with what’s available and what you can afford, and since wood doesn’t go deep into the hull, and the boat is...

    I used Titebond II waterproof wood glue. Got it all clamped up. Then drove 1 1/4” deck screws into it to help hold it tight in the center where my clamp couldn’t reach

    New Stuff on Vehicles likes/dislikes

    Interesting. But would confuse the poop out of most guys I know. I turn on the lights and hit the hazard lights to check the trailer lights. Even this confuses a few people I know.

    New old stock Quicksilver prop okay to use?

    I’m pretty sure all those props are bad now. Ozone has degraded the integrity of the metal and they will likely turn to dust if you use them. Seriously, they are fine. I have several 35 and 40 year old props that work fine. Every brand and model line will be a little different, thinner...

    Remote battery charging hook up

    Buy this, cut it into a 12" piece and a 24" piece. Splice the 12" piece on in place of the clips. Add terminal rings to the 24" leads and connect to the battery.

    Remote battery charging hook up

    How about replacing the clips with a 2 prong sae connector. They are like $4 Safe secure no reversed connections. Get 2, attach the second one so you can use the clips again if needed somewhere else.

    Best way to get to my boat?

    ALL KIDDING ASIDE, I THINK THE ROPE BRIDGE IS A VIABLE AND AFFORDABLE OPTION. OOOOPS. sorry. It won't help save your shoreline but will get you out there and back, and will withstand the weather if correct materials are used.

    I added a 51.2V golf cart battery for almost 10kWh of lithium power

    Toooo much money. Have you ever heard of a row boat or a canoe? Or a small sailboat? Now that would be time on the water.
