    HELM-SEAT-ARM-REST-REPAIR-RECONDITION-VINYL-PLASTIC-DYE-FOR-GRADY-WHITE

    Prep was cleaning off the sweat/suntan lotion goo. I used a solution of dawn soap, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda. I tablespoon of the soap, and hydrogen peroxide, and then as much baking soda to make a thick goo to spread on the arms. Wait one hour and then wash off with a scrubby pad.

    When my port engine RPM did not get up to 5500, the problem turned out to be a bad spark plug cap, replaced it and that solved the issue.

    Deck drain inserts - where to find replacement part?

    Yea, I had a guy get a hook caught in the drain and pull it out and broke the plastic bar. So what I did was measure the diameter of the drain and cut a 1/4 inch wooden dowel and inserted into the drain where the plastic bar broke. I did that 6 years ago and it is still good. Cheap fix.
