    New Gauges

    I used 3/4" starboard ran it thru the planer and took it down to 1/2" .(I only planed off one side). Made a cardboard template of how I wanted things to look and went from there. ( I would've used 1/2" but 3/4 was all had) You can see my dash in this ad...

    86 overnighter through the hulls

    3M 5200 takes 7 days to fully cure. I had them snugged up pretty good . By letting them set until the 5200 cured, then putting the final 1/4 turn or so on them the 5200 is in a compressive and adhesive state acting as a gasket and seal. Hope this made sense. I used to get a quart or so of...

    88 24' Offshore Thru Hull Transducer and Deadrise

    You could take an angle finder and see the exact amount of deadrise you have at the location you wish to mount it in. ( Is that a "run on" sentence or what?) Also I would try to keep it out of line with any raw water intakes. These will cause turbulence in front of the thru hull. FWIW I...

    Where to put speakers on '89 24 OffShore

    I mounted my box speakers under the gunnels . I used short 1/2" SS screws for the brackets , they were short enough that they would not come thru the top of the gunnel . This keeps the speakers very well protected . The sound is also very good. The speakers are west marine somethin' or others...
