Boy did I have trouble understanding what your drawing was:) I think I finally got it and it you seems that you got the order of the ply application correct. What are the dimensions of the plies?

I told myself I wouldn't post again to this thread and I didn't for a whole day! Sea water pumps move sea water and that is aerated. Stainless likes air (oxygen). The issue is not corrosion on the outside per se but rather crevice corrosion that can occur when moisture gets trapped between ss...

As long as you don't bring bananas on board I think you will be OK.

Very creative solution.

Yikes, you are correct twice:)...

I did look up Airmar and you are correct!

We are beating this topic to death but it's too cold and raw in NYC for my old bones to work on the boat. in NY I just skimmed through the Groco catalog and did not find and stainless scoops or strainer fittings. They could be there but I can't find them. If you search for stainless steel you...

Wow, I remember the skit on Laurel and Hardy. If I remember correctly they were convincing their landlord (what was his name) that they owed $28 for 7 weeks at $13 a week. I saw the proof of the math so it had to be correct:)

You are confusing above the water thru hulls with submerged water scoops like the pickup for the livewell or raw water washdown.

Barely off the water line is not underwater:) I have seen lots of tabs painted with antifouling paint (applied over the proper epoxy primer). Mine are painted. The fact that the tabs are not treated doesn't necessarily mean they don't need it. Have you ever seen a seacock thru hull or scoop...

The job is extensive but not impossible BUT I would have several big concerns. First and foremost is the question of whether the transom is strong enough to hang a motor on it. Second concern would be how the hull will sit with the engine weight now hanging off the transom. In addition, I...

That's using your head! Hopefully something will come along and since you will probably keep a boat for years, one less summer isn't going to make a big difference. Things are in flux. Who knows what the boat market will look like in the near future.

Chuckle.... I watched a video today about a repair and the mechanic made the following comment, " I took a shortcut so that the job would take twice as long"

I also use PartsVu and they have been reliable.

Dennis is correct, try a mild (boat) soap and fresh warmish water first. The easiest place to hang the panels to dry ( or to scrub for that mater) is to mount on the boat. That also helps keep their shape as they dry. If you have problems getting the panels to 'reach' the snaps, soak the canvas...

Make sure you have correctly determined that the rectifier is bad. It isn't cheap. The service manual has the diagnostic tests to eliminate other charging components. Your part may be https://www.boats.net/product/yamaha/61A-81960-01-00?ref=a7ca98cfbb017f0946aa588fa7b9cd5b94c5963f If that is...

It's a tradeoff between function and practicality. If an 8 foot whip works well then why not put an 8 foot antenna on a handheld? It's not practical. You may argue that your handheld works perfectly OK with a 6 inch antenna. In theory, a 6 inch antenna on your hardtop would work better:) Do you...

Too many solutions and not enough details describing current (pardon the pun) config and history In addition, the OP posted one message and hasn't posted since.

Something with the HF must have changed. I bought one about 6 years ago and it has never stalled. How long and what size is your extension cord? The HF was pretty inexpensive, I paid a lot more for my Presto pads. The HF pads are junk. The bad news is that the HF is a heavy tool and your arms...

My concern is that I don't understand what got crushed if the screws were too tight. The space behind the outer skin is either hollow or 'cored' with something ( probably hollow) To make a stress crack the skin under the snap base must have been pulled up and flexed the gel coat. If the screws...
