    How often do you need to open the bag for a manual? Is it always the same manual you need to read?

    84- 20’ Overnighter Hull to Deck joint repair

    3M states that 5200 cures at about 1 mm or less per 24 hours. In that case, a 1/4 bead would fully cure in about a week:) A similar application of 5200 Fast Cure will fully cure in about 2 1/5 to 3 days under similar conditions.

    84- 20’ Overnighter Hull to Deck joint repair

    Regular 5200 cures slowly, perhaps 24 to 48 hours before you should stress it. It can take a lot longer to fully cure especially for thicker uses. You probably will be able to tighten the screws for a while. If you haven't, you should also coat the screw threads with 5200. To do that, you will...

    Another Sea star question

    If I understand what you are describing to be the aft most part of the arm that attaches to the motor bracket is 'loose' and the port side ( right most side in your pic) of that bracket has up and down play, that doesn't sound right to me but I can't be sure since my linkage is different on my...

    Good point, I forgot to think of that.

    Another Sea star question

    Post a picture of the joint in question. Depending on what type of hardware was installed, up and down movement may not be normal but I can't say for sure without more info.

    Grady 273 Chase Fuel Tank Replacement

    I am both surprised and not surprised about adhering to the access plate rings. A lot of plastics don't 'glue' well, that is well known, but I didn't think the deck plates were made with one of those plastics. Let us know how the 3M stuff works out

    sea star

    Some simple test to help diagnose issues: Is steering harder in one direction than the opposite? Turn the wheel (motors down but not running) and turn the wheel all the way to one side. Now turn all the way to the other side and count the turns. Do the same test for the opposite direction. Now...

    Grady 273 Chase Fuel Tank Replacement

    You probably should not have used 4200 but time will tell. Number one, if you need to remove the hatch, it will be a bi**h to get off and number two, 4200 is an adhesive primarily and does not flex when cured like a sealant.

    Sending unit glue / compound

    There is some risk when removing a sender. Usually I don't recommend that unless the sender flange leaks or the sender needs replacement. If you remove it and all the screws come out without incident, the challenge is the condition of the tank flange and to an extent the sender flange assuming...

    330 F250s Top End, RPMs

    I don't see any problems at all. First of all, the wot revs are in the spec range. Folks get fixated on max revs but things are more complicated than that. The fact that you get higher revs when the motors are tilted is not necessarily a good or bad sign. If the revs go up AND the speed goes up...

    Female shore power receptacle (???!!) on Grady Canyon 306

    Did you get the boat new? I suspect someone installed the wrong receptacle.

    Cleat size Adventure 208

    I think the cleats are 6 inch. I am not near the boat at the moment. Note that the loop's inside opening doesn't have to be equal or greater than the cleat length in theory. It has to be as long as the distance from one end to the far side of the base plus 2diameters of rope:) My point is that a...

    Manuals stored on board

    I agree that manuals can take a beating on the boat, the biggest issue being moisture and possible mildew. In addition not all manuals are needed on the boat. Many manuals can be downloaded to a tablet or phone. Personally, I don't store mine on the boat but there are times I wish I did mostly...

    Need help w/ Fuel Sender wiring on new tanks

    Interesting: I am not an expert on bonding but I though that devices that are connected to the bonding common point would have directs connections that is dedicated conductor. The idea being that daisy chained devices can create ground loop currents. It may be that for devices that are not...
