    new prop is hitting anode

    I purchased a new 4 blade 19 inch prop to replace a spun 3blade/17 inch. I went to install it and and it fits the spline like it's supposed to but it hits the anode.

    Any ideas on mounting plastic fuel tanks?

    Hello Folks, I finally purchased a plastic tank to replace my below deck aluminium one that rotted out. The info sheet that came from Moeller specifically states "do not foam in" because the tank expands. I have removed all the foam and glassed in resin coated blocks covered in heavy duty vinyl...

    Gentle removal of gas tank

    I posted last week about finding my under floor gas tank leaking. Well...I have decided to cut a rectangular hole in my new deck and remove the gas tank and repair/replace. My question is, could I just set the depth on my skill saw to the thickness of the deck and saw away? After the job is done...

    leaking fuel tank

    I think I know the answer to this one, but I don't like it... I just finished repairing my deck and laying 3 layers of fiberglass then sprayed Ultratuff on it. Today I started installing everything I had gutted from the boat and noticed a gas smell. Opened up the front storage hatch and had...

    should I glass in dividers??

    I have an '81, 21 foot cuddy cabin that I have removed all the carpet from. I will use it mostly for towing the kids around and some fishing.

    Is it made out of fiberglass or what??

    I have a 98 Polaris PWC that my 16 year old (brain dead) son knocked a whole in the bottom of. I was wondering what to repair this with. Is it epoxy, poly or what? The hole is big enough to put four fingers in so I would say it is more than a patch. Any ideas on what to use??

    Tacky poly resin after cure

    I'm sanding it now but I noticed that the part of the deck I did when it was 96 outside cured hard but remained tacky. Is this because of the temperature? It was causing the resin to cure very quick and it was about to give me a heat stroke.. I started doing the rest of it about 8:30pm when it...

    I have a 1980, 21 ft, cuddy cabin and I am redoing the floor and some other things. I have removed all the guts from the boat and as I took out the windows I noticed that they were sealed with something that looked like caulk. The stuff basically turned to powder when I removed it. My question...

    Newbie question-how thick should resin be?

    I decided to replace the carpet in my 1981 21'ChrisCraft scorpion 210. When I took the carpet and everything else out of the boat I had a nice solid deck, but it looks like some of the deck coating (resin?) has worn down to the plywood. Is this normal? The plywood looks like it has the top ply...
