I recently ordered a part for my RV and when it arrived it had a 3 ounce tube of white silicone in the package. It is called ASI 502. I used the stuff and am really impressed. It handles really well and cured it is very strong. Much better than the GE silicone II that I have been using. The ASI...

Like everyone is saying, if you are using the trailer in saltwater it will be much more efficient to just stuff that $500 down the garbage disposal. Then you can spend the time fishing .:) Just a little sarcasm there to express my personal opinion, sorry couldn't resist. I tried that same thing...

For simple joints on mated components that are intended to be removed periodically and are not below waterline, butyl tape works very good.

The fact that things seem to go better when you are alone has to do with not becoming a stern captain when it's time to get serious. I am guilty of the same thing. This day and age, being what some folks call gruff and demanding is actually being a diligent captain. We have all had people on...

That's what I was wanting feed back on. At anchor of course it would be fine because it is a stand alone indicator but when running I was wondering if it may look odd in conjunction with the red/green and possibly cause some confusion as to some ones perception of angle of approach. The side...

I agree, once it's done the hard top is best. It's just that the hard top is new and I am not sure if the builder opened the cross-tube connections for routing wires and I hate to drill holes in the tubing and then find that there is no route. The builder did open an access hole in the rear...

I have a spare antenna mount on the starboard side of my boat. There was a GPS antenna on it but I no longer need that antenna. My boat has a hard top and I need to either mount one as usual on centerline of the boat and higher than any obstruction or I have an old Shakespeare antenna with a...

How has the boat been stored for all those 18 years. Was it moored, trailered but left outside uncovered, or marina stacked out of the weather?????

Red tide is still with us. We live about 1 mile from the beach and we can smell the rotting sealife when the wind is right. Many of our beaches are posted "No Swimming". I and a couple of friends went fishing a couple weeks ago and it was not good. We were headed out about 40 miles but it was...

What ever happened? Are you having so much fun with the new steering that you can find time to tell us how things went. :)

Remove the screws from the garboard plug . If water runs out immediately, you have your answer. If it doesn't then place a dish under it and wait overnight for a drip. You can push an icepick in the screw holes at an angle to see if the wood is sound or rotten. If you do that then drive a...

Is this the one???? https://www.seatechmarineproducts.com/seastar-pro-single-bulkhead-stainless-steel-hose-kit-2x-4ft-ho8704.html

A person should remove whatever is on the end of the cable that is easily removable, then put a reinforced piece of hose(if you are going to pressurize) over that is large enough not to restrict the inner if you plan on working the cable. Then wrap a half a roll or so of electrical tape around...

You are right seasick, a bicycle pump will work as good as a 500 hp compressor. The volume required is miniscule.

Pressure lubing of "Push-Pull" control cables has been being done for a long time. We always kept several different setups that had been built for different applications that were well done. We had heavy equipment of all sorts and makes to keep running and in the old days, push-pull cables were...

Don, I had a similar boat but different brand. Similar design and weight. It had a 4 stroke Yamaha 150 on it. I can assure you that if you spend a few thousand of your hard earned dollars, you will wish you had went for more HP. Lots of take-offs down here in Florida. They are shipped all over...

If you want to try that you could put a small clamshell on the leading edge of the hole, facing rearward. If the theory works then you could do the major change of the through-hull if you want.

It could be the pressure switch on the head of the pump. They stick sometimes in the open position because they sit for long periods holding pressure in the open position. The little return spring in them is not very strong. Do like Dennis said and remove the sprayer, turn on the switch to the...

That "white smoke" could be steam. Does the engine misfire when that is going on?

journeyman is exactly right. I have a 2004 model year Tournament 205 and it has this sprayer in the transom. Only difference is I have the black color. Both are available. If I were you though, I would submerge that nozzle in CLR for awhile and see if it comes back to life before trashing it...
