Marine Tex is a high strength epoxy. It doesn't have any glass in it. I'd take off the hardware and grind back until you are in clean undamaged glass. If you have any signicant depth I think I'd prefer to build it up with layers of wetted glass rather than a thick layer of Marine Tex. Also, when...

Any good canvas guy will be able to do one from scratch. I redid mine and it came out better than factory and the guy used all the factory snap locations.

http://www.ongaromarine.com/horns.htm Check their site I'm pretty sure they made your horn. The whole assembly for the mini-horn is on eBay for $58.

Can you post a pic and list the manufacturer? I usually end up buying from the manufacturer directly.

That's an easy repair. Matching the gelcoat is the worst. Check out this video and this website. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz5WCfip ... re=related http://www.westsystem.com/ss/how-to-use/

I put in a sandbag bid on eBay for a Kohler 5E generator that had been submerged. I bought the whole thing for $50 plus shipping which was about $150 (that sucker was heavy). Anyway it arrived in 3 boxes in pieces. All the non-mechanical non-electrical bits are in pretty decent shape. The...

It's actually quite easy. The macerator is installed in the top of the holding tank. There are a half dozen or so slotted screws and the electrical connection is via a small bus on top of the tank. Remove it and re-install in the reverse manner. To save your nose fill it with fresh water and...

Don't leave your tank full. I replaced mine 5 years ago and twice have had to open up the tank (thanks ladies) to remove that which should never have been flushed. Macerator still looks like new. If you were really worried you could fill it up with fresh water and pump it out a couple of time if...

It was in a hurricane in the Bahamas and sank. If you search on the web you can see pics of it with the beat up engines on it. In the interior pictures you could see rust stains coming out of the electrical panel in the cabin. That being said things like cabinet doors and hatches are good...

I could put my name down for lots of the parts if someone wants to buy it and part it out. :)

Nice to see a few Canucks show up. I agree with the comments on Jacobsen. Very helpful the few times I called them. I have run my boat from Vancouver to Tofino and beyond. Offshore in the swells it ran great and the comfort level was amazing. A lot of people run aluminum boats on the west...

I have a '92 Marlin and I live in Vancouver. Mine came all the way from Florida. With the Canadian dollar at par you can buy a lot of boat these days in the USA. www.boats.com is a good place to start to compare prices. Shipping a 30' Marlin or smaller boat is really not that expensive relative...

Re: fresh water system leak/ holding tank issue...where to s You have to ask yourself where all that water went. If you have a leak it will end up in your bilge. I had a persistant source of water in my bilge that drove me crazy. It turned out the fresh water pump was leaking in the body of the...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-30- ... 4601fa2b7a. I saw this on eBay today. Not my boat but thought if anyone from Florida needed a big project or a parts boat......

West Coast could be San Diego to Alaska. I a 1992 Marlin and live in Vancouver. A few of the salmon charter guys in town run Grady's too. What do you have?

I live in Canada on the Westcoast and keep my boat in the water year around in a boatshed. I use a West marine heater year around to keep a little heat in the boat. I have been through two in 6 years of continuous use. Not bad for $50. You get no mold, mildew, condensation or bad smells if you...

That makes a lot of sense as AFI made the wiper motors too. AFI is owned by Marinco so a search of their site should find a replacement horn. West Marine carries that line of parts.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-Compact-Tw ... ar&vxp=mtr I saw this last night on e-bay and remembered it when I read your post. If you blow up the picture it says "Ongaro" They make a full line of marine horns. Good luck. http://www.ongaromarine.com/horns.htm

If all other factors are the same such as load, amount of canvas and amount of fuel on board the first thing I would check would be fouling. You say the props are good so we can eliminate that. If it's not bottom growth you then have to assume your engines are putting out less power at the...

My only issue with them is they aren't exactly honest about what's in stock or not. They back ordered mine without telling me and I had to concel. Also about 5 or 6 guys on ebay are selling these as OEM and not repro. Any part number with an SE at the front is a Sterndrive product.
