Thanks I will try it.

Hello, Since I did not purchase my boat new and the aluminium arch/hard top supports are pitted what can I do. Can I sand it to create a uniform look. It looks like crap and I have tried polishes and aluminum gaurd it biut I think it is already past that. Any suggestions

Thanks I'll try that. Anything before I spend the money on a new one. I will also use the other end cap to be sure there is no problem with the seals. Will get back when finished and tested

I just thought of something. I have been using poewer steering fluid for auto mobiles. Could this have any neg results.

Sorry for the delay on your question HS5157

the part I ordered came with both ends for the cylinder. I replaced just the one that had been leaking and used the wrench that came with kit. I took off the old one and slid on the new one and tightened. I was very careful not to nick the shaft and the oil still leaks from the seal. there were...

Prior history of symptoms: I had a small leak on the port side of the seal which wasnt too bad. I did some research and found no visual problems/dents on the rod and decided to order the kit to fix it. Installation was a @!$@ due to the bolts not wanting to budge. Now it leaks more than...

Thanks. I thought about increasing the height of the bottom paint. I have T225 Yamahas with ss props and the waterline w/o fresh water holding and keeping gas around 75 gallons in main tank still allows the scuppers to be almost submerged. The problem is while on mooring when it gets windy the...

Thank you very much. I tilex everything that moved or grew. This stuff works excellent!! I also left my port and starboard window slightly open for air. Now for the sniper rifle to get that seagull who insists on sitting on my radar. I actually had to shoo the sun o bit@ch off.

Hello everyone, I have a sailfish on a mooring and my hull is stained like I abuse my boat. How can I clean this crap off the waterline ? I waxed it prior to launch several times with collinite, compound, buff wax, wax buff, wax buff etc. It looks like I never waxed it.

This is the first year I moored my boat. In New England we got nothing but rain May, June and July. I have mold in the cabin on the ledge that runs to the bow on both sides and under my hard top there are spots everywhere. Is there something i can clean the fabric with? How do I stop this...

Hi, I am very concerned with an issue I found on my boat the other day while boating to the transient dock as my mooring company calls it. History: I polished this this boat from fore to aft this winter and found a few flaws from previous owners (to be expected as mine is a 1997) There were no...

Thanks Tuna Man. I thought the same with the outboards I have. I have been reading ALOT of tuna info and it is like learning to fish all over again. I have heard you can harpoon them when close to the boat and put a float on them and tie to the aft cleat?? Sounds scary to me if the fish is...

I have been curious about how to out fit this style boat to get giants. Should I get swivel gunnel rod mounts for the port and starboard aft rod holders for my bent but 80's? Or should I try to attach some kind of rocket launcher/fighting station in the middle? I was wondering what to do with...

Makes sense now AH, that explains it. I was running once with the helm switch on AUX and my manual valves were on MAIN. I noticed the fuel was never going down!!!! I will try the manual both on AUX Thank you

Hello again, I thought my fuel sender in my aux tank was bad so I ripped out the old one and low and behold it was right on the money 7/8 full. This led me to my question. I have 2 valves and both say main/off/aux currently both my valves are on MAIN. How do set up the valves to use just the...

I wanted to thank everyone for the info I was not sure of. The timely responses and specific information helped me to do the following: Impellors Thermostats VST filter and tips regarding symptoms and maintenence. I just started up the twins and they sang!! Especially the Starboard one which...

RE: battery charger Yes the freedom 10 invertor has dual batery charging capacity with 2 temp leads to check battery. I will not run hot water heater. I am in the food business and wash out the 35lb plastic containers my vegetable oil comes in. Leave them in the sun and presto hot water. I...

Hello again, I know there was a post re: Honda 2000IU generator but I cant find it. My question is, I have my shore power cord plugged into my home 15 amp circuit. I do not have AC. I have a Freedom 10, 1000 watt invertor, with microwave water heater (dont even know if it works or how to...

I noticed a yellow oily fluid that turned out to be steering fluid coming out from the seal where the stainless steel rod moves horizontilly to steer the engines. The rod has no pits as far as I can see. There is definately a slow leak in the seal. Are these rebuildable? Also can the slightly...
