Just to be different, my vote is for the helm station t/t switch.

Is that for two full coats? It takes that much for a full bottom job on my 208.

Very nice and a reasonable price.

Got it. Tape in itself is a lousy sealing option but better than nothing. There are sealing connectors that match the existing or sealing caps and plugs that mate to individual wires. All that aside, I lost track of what the problem is:)

There is a very good video from years ago on the Bpatworks Today you tube channel. It isn't simple though but Andy offers tips on how to color match and blend for a very good match.Your first step though is to revive the gel coat as best you can. Depending on how bad it is, you may need to get...

If you had the switch removed as opposed to just disconnected and the opening for the switch was not sealed, that can be an issue and not just for the switch wires. In addition, if you unplug the connector(s) for the switch you need to seal the motor side connector.

I know what you are going through. I do it all the time. In your evaluations pay attention to beam. The Marlin is a big wide boat. permits are required for trailering in many states. I would avoid older 350s also, For me it is a show stopper. ( OK, here comes the positive comments about the...

Probably take most of two gallons. You will typically do two coats on the underside and maybe three coats on the water line edge. If you use the Pettit, there are a couple of things to note. You have to stir the paint really well. A paint paddle in an electric drill works well. You have to stir...

You haven't seen enough boats:) I have seen many more poor wiring jobs than good ones on older boats. Haven't you seen wire nuts, plain twisted wires with tape, larger gauge conductors with smaller gauge sections spliced in, or lamp cord used for AC applications? Good wiring jobs are a thing of...

Search the forum for "slidders" and you will see all the posts about your question. One member, Hanke777 had posted that he had ordered the parts and was waiting for delivery. I do not remember him posting if the parts were correct. If the sliders are Todd and they may be, Todd does not carry...

I don't know if you are serious or not. I had to look up the Dutchman's log explanation. I am still smiling at your answer.

That is an interesting tip.

Lots to digest here. First it can be a fatal mistake to remove a boat stand without having added additional support. One common action is to paint what you can and then add an additional boat stand near to the one you need to lower to paint. Another option is to add cribbing under the hull at...

If that happens while at sea, shut off the motor first to avoid possible injury or damage to the motor as will happen if the running motor gets tilted up out of the water.. The only way to stop trim and tilt is to turn off the battery switches which will kill both motors. Then you have to pull...

Hull max HP Rating?? Next tell us what your needs are; go as fast as possible or get a better hole shot. Maybe you plan on a lot of trolling. All that is input into selecting a prop. You can't get it all. Any prop you select is a compromise. I also strongly recommend that you see how the boat...

It is not recommended to grease the ram rods. You should put a dab of grease on the rod end though. It is also not recommended to wipe the rods with paper towels. The reason to not grease the rods is to reduce the chance of dirt, grime or other contaminants from sticking to the rods and getting...

A new law, enacted a year or so back, mandates that boats up to a certain length have to have a 'kill' or emergency cut off switch. If your vessel did not originally have one, you don't have to add one but if your vessesl had one, you can not remove it. In addition according to the law, there...

A picture of the curtain hanger system would help. Pics of both the curtain and the hardtop mount.

I agree
