I could never find them at HD or Lowes. I ordered online. They are expensive as far as staples go. For my 208 bolsters, I used almost two packages of staples I think I got the1/4 size but I am not certain.

ABYC regs 'allow' up to 5 connections to a battery terminal. That sounds like a lot but are not uncommon in some cases for example you may have direct leads for bilge pump, stereo memory, windlass, trickle charger etc. One way to reduce the count at least for the positive feeds is to make that...

I would find some weather stripping that is high density foam or neoprene preferable with a sticky backing and apply it to the underside of the hatch flange keeping it about 1/4 inch from the edge. Now position the hatch where it should be and mask the deck around it with tape/ Remove the hatch...

To a great extent, rpms are related to speed. So a better question is what speeds are recommended for the many possible conditions.

A marine caulk would be better to fill seams and gaps

5200 is an adhesive not a sealant/caulk. Does your bracket have an access port on the top?

I didn't point out in my earlier post that I used the 2 inch because that was the closest size to the old foam. Since I used the old bolster vinyl as templates, it was important that the new bolsters were similar in size to the old ones. If your bolsters wrap around the back, construction will...

Some models of electronic pumps, test every minute or two for water and if they find it , they run the pump. The problem is that the running of the test, can run down the battery. I have also had experience with electronic sensing sump pumps for buildings that either get stuck on because they...

I bought a half sheet of Dryfast foam from the foam factory in 2 inch thickness. That was OK for the flat sections of my bolsters but the inside corner where my bolsters wrapped around the gunnels to the the transom needed 2 layers of 2 inch. The Dryfast foam will not absorb water. Water runs...

Just to cover all possibilities, I need to ask what fuse blew. Be clear about fuse versus breaker and where it was located.

I think the motor offered is the I4 200. That would be lighter than the 250

I don't know if the front 'cell' is the main or the aux tank but my forts questions would be, "Do you need both tanks?" A few things to note" If one tank has corrosion holes, maybe the other one does too ( 25 years old) and have you seen the spot that leaks. More often than not, corrosion...

It would help if you posted where your boat is. There are lots of threads about tank fabricators recommended by forum members. Do a search.

That said, if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true:) That's my NY don't trust a stranger nature.

The fenders at Walmart work fine for me but only the white ones. The dark ones sometimes leave marks. To be a scootch. I must note that a funder that is attached to a pier or dock is called a bumper. If that bumper were hung over the gunnel of a boat, it is called a fender:)

Remember that if the tank is mostly full or full and you unscrew the sender, gas will pour out in gallons into the bilge

Not on a 115 I think.

Yes but only if the tank is not empty

I am not sure what you are asking. Are you asking about installing a fuel flow sensor or a new fuel level sender? For the fuel flow you also need a fuel management gauge. You will need to run cables from aft where the flow sensor would be mounted to the helm. If all you want is to have a...

If the ram is a single actuator that is where it is fixed at one end and the ram rod extends out of the other, that the force will always be weaker in one direction as compared to the other. If the ram has ram rods on both ends, steering effort should be the same in both directions. I would take...
