    Sea Dek or the equivalent

    Scott, by chance have you tried this? I'm thinking about purchasing SeaDek or some brand of EVA foam and creating snap in panels out of the EVA foam to replicate my current snap in carpet. I was trying to think what would make a good backer and am interested in the fiberglass cloth option, or...

    Filling with fuel issue

    Clogged or blocked breather tube or the pump moves fluid at a rate where the feeder hose to the tank can't handle the volume. Different gas stations supply fuel at different rates. I avoid several high flow stations where the pumps click off automatically in my chevy. Low flow stations don't...

    Budget Boat Covers

    MSC heavy duty 600D marine grade cover on Amazon. Pick up one of the support frames that goes underneath to keep the snow and rain from pooling. I bought mine in 2017 for $94 and its holding up perfectly. I bought a second one for my fishing boat a few years ago and its holding up extremely...

    Boat Cover

    My mooring cover gave up on me years ago and while I was working on a replacement, I found an MSC heavy duty 600D cover on Amazon of all places. I bought it back in 2017 for $94 and because it has done so well since then I haven't bothered to fix the mooring cover yet. Very impressed with how...

    Shim material for swim step bracket

    As said, lots of materials you can use. Be sure that you cut your shims in such a way that there is no gap between the bracket and the transom so there's no opportunity for movement or rocking.

    Ideas on getting lake water temp sensor w/o drilling into hull?

    Just a regular poly cutting board from Amazon (polyethylene?) and Loctite's marine epoxy. I doubled up the cutting board to make it thick enough for the length of the stainless screws that came with the transducer mount. Roughed up the mating surface of the cutting boards with a wood file...

    Volvo penta shift cable locking cable pin?

    Not sure if the DP is similar, but this is what my SX outdrive uses for a locking pin. Located here....

    Ideas on getting lake water temp sensor w/o drilling into hull?

    I was hesitant to drill into my hull as well. In 2013 or so (can't recall exactly) I mounted the sending unit of my fish finder to a 2"x2" square of cutting board and the epoxied the cutting board to my transom. As others suggested, I ran the wire up through an existing passthrough above the...

    Johnson 6hp Seahorse, 6R75R, revs up and dies

    After thoroughly cleaning the carb, I determined I was having spark delivery issues as well. After replacing corroded and broken spark plug wires, the motor runs like a top.

    Fuel pump not working

    Agree, need more info about your engine to better advise. However with what you said, your problem might be limited to just a power supply issue. Start working power backwards from the wiring harness plug at the fuel pump, checking connections and health of wiring harness. Also ensure your...

    5.0GLPWTR, fuel pump question

    Thanks! I did not, as I don't have the proper test equipment. Wish I did have those tools in my kit though.

    5.0GLPWTR, fuel pump question

    Just to follow up, it was the fuel pump. Replaced with a new pump and o-rings, primed it, and it fired right up. Thanks

    5.0GLPWTR, fuel pump question

    Thanks. The fuel lines are all in good shape, the fuel is fresh, and I rebuilt the carb two years ago. I also winterize the carb every year too and have done all my own maintenance since 2012. The boat ran perfectly just a few weeks ago, something suddenly has changed and I'm feeling that it's...

    5.0GLPWTR, fuel pump question

    Thanks for the response. Typically the pump makes some noise, vibrates or gives an indication that its working, correct? I feel no change nor hear anything when 12v is applied

    5.0GLPWTR, fuel pump question

    So today we tried launching our carb'd boat, a '99 CC with the 5.0GLPWTR. Per our normal procedure (we've been out several times this year so far), I pumped the throttle twice and started the cold engine. Started normally and idled for about 45 seconds at which point the engine stopped. Did some...

    Transom mounted Transducer

    I cut a 3"x3" square of cutting board and screwed the transducer mount into that and then using marine loctite epoxy, glued the cutting board to the transom. This was about 8 years ago or so and its still holding fine with zero new holes to worry about. I then zip-tied the wire for the...

    Getting leaf stains off fiberglass.

    Put the boat out in the sun for a few days and the stains will go away. Short term, try mildew remover - same stuff you would use on your seats.

    Milky Oil in 2006 Glastron GX 205 with Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-E

    The very next thing I would do is pull the exhaust manifolds and risers and inspect them.

    water leaking under carpet

    Well.... More info is needed in order to help you. What type of cover do you have? Has it rained recently? Can you trace the source of water to a side or a corner of the deck? Where on the deck is it most wet? Are you absolutely sure the water is sourced from underneath vs having made it's way...
