    Bow Pulpit Fiberglass Cracks...

    That looks terrible--that part has way to much filler/gelcoat. Reinforce the bottom and repair the top. That's just a bad part IMO.

    Bow Pulpit Fiberglass Cracks...

    The location looks normal for a stuck anchor but that's an odd looking defect. Simple repair overall but that's a lot of void without glass. Reminds me of the poor layup I have on my fwd deck. I would want the underside reinforced and then the appropriate repair if it were me. Buying a new...

    House Battery not enough for all the electronics today ?

    Just something to look at the next time you need batteries is to look at amp hours for your house battery. It's easier finding a good house battery in the 29/31 series. I have to go through this every few years for my little boat. Finding Optimax capable batteries is a PIA. A good house and a...

    What in the world sticks to this?

    Tape around the area that doesn't have the weatherstrip. Sand with something in the 80-180 range. Apply the 4200 and weatherstrip.

    Help ...bought a DeWalt RO buffer need pads

    There is a 6 inch foam adapter pad that you can use but I would probably upgrade to a 6" that screws into the DeWalt. I use Presta pads and backing plates.

    SeaDek flooring GW Freedom 275

    I wonder how the Eva does without complete adhesion. That stuff seems to curl at the edges.

    SeaDek flooring GW Freedom 275

    I would be more concerned with the non-pressure sensitive 3m adhesives used in some of the off brands. I found it pretty easy to cleanup. Think of stickers that come off and leave a little residue vs stickers that don't and the paper is part of the mess. The 3m came up and cleaned up. I like...

    Flare Disposal

    I had decades of expired commercial flares from my dad's rig. I used the last bit on Halloween....had some of the day time smoke left...the kids loved it. I think the oldest stuff was '84.

    Hull color opinions

    Ocean mist looks a lot like the Aqua Mist from Alexseal. Maybe a little more blue vs green. I painted my Mako this color 12 years ago and just did my new console and leaning post. It almost looks like a white in certain lighting.

    Striped plugs on a yamaha

    I have always used anti seize and don't use the handle on the ratchet. If it makes you nervous spend the $30 and get the wrench.

    Marina’s being absorbed Big Business ?

    Big business bought up all the commercial fisherman and fish houses around me. Had to make room for more old age condos on the water.

    Interlux VC Performance - super slick surface that can be polished. Good for trailer/stack boats.

    Owens

    Im not sure---my rod builder was getting a new trailer and told me they sold. He might have the last one before it get basterized. I'm a native and this one stings a bit--NY invasion in full swing and good local businesses seeing the writing on the wall...I want out.

    Hardtop paint-265Express

    Yep---a 2 part uses solvents and it cures as they evaporate. All that single part crap is more dependant on water/air. Their bildge paint can take forever to dry. I was so pissed the first time I tried it. It was about a week because of all the waiting between coats.

    Owens

    Just a heads up that the Owens brothers sold their shop. The sister appears to still be there for now, but that could be transitional as she ran the joint. Let's hope quality and customer service continue! Rarely, does this ever work out for the consumer.
