    Non skid floor help

    @kcon i don’t believe it needs to be completely smooth because I am putting down a non skid but I want to cover up 1708 cloth showing through. Considering putting down a layer of CSM, this would be on top one coat of total tred, thoughts?

    @Scott Danforth when you say thicken gel what product are you talking about? Poly resin peanut butter for example? Epoxy peanut butter? Thanks.

    Non skid floor help

    @Mad Props could I still put a layer of csm on top of the coat of non tread I put down? The csm I got was so weak it was a mess to work with but if that is a better option I will do it?

    Water leaking into bilge

    I get a steady stream of water into my bilge as soon as my boat hits the water, I have attached a picture. In the pic dead center under the black plate that is attached to the transom there is a triangle hole that the water comes out. I can reach my hand up over the black plate and feel open...

    First deck replacement, I have questions

    Where do you guys suggest testing the transom, in the link that @todhunter provided there were small holes drilled along the bottom of the transom. Honestly not crazy about drilling those holes when I have no evidence that its soft, there are no outwardly visible cracks and there is no play in...

    First deck replacement, I have questions

    Scott thanks for your questions about the integrity of the stringers and transom. I did not pull the motor or replace the transom plus I have not attached the deck yet. Attached are a couple of pictures. The softest spot I had in the floor that was honestly just driving me nuts was over the gas...

    First deck replacement, I have questions

    I appreciate all of the input, as far as stringers and foam it was all dry underneath except a small spot way in the back, the deck softness appeared to be all from above. Stringers are in good shape, the glass over them look good I cannot put a screw driver threw them, is there something I am...

    First deck replacement, I have questions

    Attached is a picture of the wood deck that has been cut out, if you zoom in you should be able to see how the wood deck is connected to the section still attached to the boat hull. I do not understand why there is foam built up on top of the fiberglass. Can I tab in to the hull of the boat with...

    I have a 1996 Glastron for about a year. Noticed that the deck was soft in a couple of spots from the ski locker back. I pulled all of the carpet out and removed the wood deck from behind the ski locker back. Under the deck that I removed everything looks like its in good shape the 2 stringers...

    1996 4.3 Mercruiser idle sputter

    @nola mike yes we pressurized the cylinder and then read the pressure after time. It’s not my tester but I believe it has psi on both dials. From memory we performed the following, once we got up to 90 psi, pressure was released into the cylinder we were testing and watched the pressure change...

    1996 4.3 Mercruiser idle sputter

    So let me clarify on the leak down test I believe that I documented them wrong. We pressurized to 90 psi on all 6 cylinders, not sure why we didn’t do 100 psi. Anyway so my numbers above wmy leak down from 90 psi which correct me if I am wrong I pasted below without the % sign are good leak...
