    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Oh I'd love to just spend money on a new boat. Budget says keep this half floater for a few seasons. I'm willing to do a little work, within reason. If this doesn't work I become boatless for a while.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    I I've got another forum going on too, lost spark to cylinder one. Never bothered checking compression. Surely it'll be fine lol.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Well it is now. After sitting for probably 3 years some issues are coming out. See how much money I need to sink in it if any. So far it's served it's purpose as a bay floater. I catch fish from it so that's all that really matters.

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    So I also swapped the 5 and 6 wires from that box to see if that would chase the spark (2 and 3 wires stayed 2 and 3). Spark stayed the same, only cylinder 2. Does this sound like this box is this issue? Thanks for all the help.

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    Swapped the cylinder 1 and 2 wires in this box here. Spark followed to cylinder 1 accordingly and cut off at cylinder 2. So ignition coil is good. Any idea what is in-between this box and ignition coil thay could be faulty? Spark jumps plenty according to my eye, but my glasses are a little...

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    Can now confirm, no spark cylinder 1. Good spark on #2. Swapped the two plugs to confirm and it's definitely a cylinder 1 issue. Do you know of any other wiring to check before I get into having to source and replace an ignition coil? Thanks.

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    I just finished checking tdc and I'm good. Basically perfect. Some jackoff stole my good sockets from my van and I don't have one big enough for the fly wheel now anyway. Battery has seen some drain over testing but I wouldn't say enough to be an issue yet. Still seeing those high cranking...

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    Just had to Google that. I'm only moderately good with wrenches. Learn by the seat of my pants kinda fellah. I'll give it a go. Can't be that hard right? Thanks.

    1972 evinrude 50hp 2 stroke. Crank no start.

    Howdy, As the title says. Story: Motor hits a wall on revs under load. Did up both carbs with new needles, floats, and gaskets. Cleaned up all jets. Carbs were actually fine after getting into them but replaced and cleaned stuff anyway. Motor fires right up. Screams to life and happy days...

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Took much longer to find time to get the boat on the water. It floats! Or at least it doesn't sink fast enough to cause panic lol. I'll be making a new post now about some engine troubles if anyone is willing to help. Gosh dang boats are aggravating apparently.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Oh that's a good idea, boats are cheaper without motors. No bilge on this old girl, just an access panel I cut in the floor to poke my head in. Nothing is pretty about this thing except the new cabelas seats the previous owner installed. I've heard to prefer lund over smokercraft being the...

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    What is the risk? Are we talking hull collapse or a slow casual sink? I'm new to this and reading only does so much, experience matters significantly. I don't mind risking myself, it's my family and kids that matter.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Right? It's a waterproof rubber basically, in theory it should work. Clean and scuff the surface for proper bonding and away I should be able to go. Hoping the hull is fine anyway, I just like looking forward. Shouldn't really be a reason why it doesn't float honestly.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Well, life jackets and extinguisher after this weekend lol. Testing after work tomorrow to see if she floats, if she floats I'll spend money and buy all the right safety equipment. Also, I'm launching with a van and a hitch extender for extra room. This is gonna be a bit of a show for anyone...

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Is that all? Not terrible i suppose. A can of liner is 35 bucks and will cover the whole hull. Looking for quick and easy mostly. I read i could hang the boat from my rafters just off the 3 eyelits, one in front and two in back. Would make it more accessible.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    I don't care about drag, it will only be in the same bay I launch it in. Travel 600 feet on the water and drop anchor. Don't overly care about lasting either, I'll spray more liner on there for the life of the boat if needed. Looking to get 2 maybe 3 seasons from until I can afford preferably a...

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    I was just looking for a cheap and quick way to make it float if for whatever reason it decides not too. Only reason I purchased is to just get a little off of shore. Went on a friends boat for fishing last year and now I can't help myself, minus the wanting to spend 5k for a decent used or 60...

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    New to owning a boat, bought a junker last fall for 300 bucks. I'm curious if anyone has any experience with using spray on bed liner to coat the entire hull for waterproofing? I've read a little now on performance and osmosis if water gets trapped in a bubble and what not. I just need it to...
