my 94 shines like a mirror too :D I use a lot more then 10 times a year though.... just want to keep it that way :lol: Brad, are you going to the Walleye Central get together next month? ten times per year??

I have a Makita wheel, it does really help. now that you brought that up, do you apply wax with it then use a different bonnet to remove it? I am talking about general everyday waxing, not the rubbing out kind of job. I have been applying by hand, letting it dry, then using the wheel...

I like reading this thread. I just bought my 208, it was taken very good care of and I am trying to do the same when you guys talking about waxing, do you mean you wax ALL of it? Including all the gelcoat on the interior? (except for the non skid of course) thats a lot of waxing! I...

thanks again for the great tips guys

man that is nice!!! gotta talk to Santa about one of those!!!!!

thanks guys appreciate it

Guys I feel kinda dumb asking this My new Grady has a Simpson Lawrence Horizon 500 electric windlass. My questions are, how do I use it properly? After I deploy it and set it, should I wrap the rode around a cleat? I dont think I should depend on the winch itself holding the rode, but I...

I agree If you have wet transom wood you have trouble no 2 ways around it it must be propely addressed for the safety of yourself and your passangers

there is no teak on the boat I dont have teak oil those are the reassons ;)

the active ingerdient in WD 40 is fish oil the kerosene just evaporates and is a carrying agent Its on there now, we will just see how it works Im sure it will be fine

well I used WD 40 on the whole thing. looks great will have to see how it holds up. cant beat it if it works I can save the money and buy more beer

ok thanks maybe when I run out of WD 40 I will try it my point is if WD 40 works then why buy something else I dont need?

I cant find Penetrol. I have heard they dont make it anymore. WD 40 is in my garage

thanks I will investigate more now that the boat is home. I think with the windlass being bolted to the cover, there are bolts sercuring it that are not allowing me to open the hatch. I need to get the kid down there and feel for them I am way too big to get my body down there though...

has anyone tried using WD 40 on thier duratrim? I just did and it works fine. I have no idea how long it will last but I dont see that it will harm it at all maybe I am missing something and other guys use it, or its going to screw it up?

excellent you will think of other stuff to worry about believe me LOL I drove 6 hrs to buy mine sight unseen. It worked out fine, I love the boat but talk about stuff to worry about LOL

yes Mercrusier doesnt make the engines. they just adapt other compaines engines to thier drives

THANK YOU BRAD for some common sense on this!!! I just bought the same bought, a 94 Adventure 208. It was looked over closely before purchase. I would not go though the trouble of removing the motor just to reseal this transom cap on my vessel! In my opinion you are just asking for...

there are hinges but I do not see a latch on the outside. The hatch itself looks like it was its original to the boat. my question is where is the latch located? I dont see a place for it Im sure the windlass was added on by the dealer somewhere along the line Maybe I should take a few...

Guys- How do you get the cover open? I have a windlass bolted to the cover, the chain got jammed up and I ended up taking the anchor off the chain and wound everything into the boat. So now its unstuck. But I cant figure out how the locker door opens. I see no latches on the outside...
