Slacker. :)

Do you know the brand that has a "captured" spring by any chance? Definitely gonna pass on the push button ones - I too though they would salt right up and be a PIA + the dimensions are too big for my needs. Also, Its not the hole that's a problem, its the thickness of the ear itself. Doesn't...

I learned here on GreatGrady :) I've had a bimini top on my boat since day 1 in 1993 - Served me well ever since. I had to replace a tube I broke but other than that NP. So I get this boat cover and realize I have to take this bimini down to use the cover. Well that means I need a quick...

Never thought of that about the heat -Yes its true. PVC does not like heat :) Luckily for me I wont have the cover on the boat when the temps start to heat up around here. Its just the early spring and early fall when crap is falling from the trees in the neighborhood around here and landing in...

Thank you willy-c Got the tools today along with the extra pieces, and your instructions on how to make your own flared end. Haven't used my air chisel in years so it was a perfect opportunity to break it out. I tested making my own flair via your enclosed instructions. I did heat the end of...

Well that frame looks pretty sturdy and I'm sure you have it down to a science. Its a little more than I wanted to do and I really only need it for a few weeks in the spring and fall. I had to modify my original idea a tad as the 45' elbows on the tubes in the pole holders just didn't work out...

This is how you save the stuff. Clean the living crap out of the spout while its still fresh. Then tap the bottom of the tube on the counter a few times lightly, getting the 5200 back in the tube. Then PACK Vaseline into the tube. A couple of good globs if you can manage to pack it in there...

And we're done . Rock solid

You twisted my arm. LOL All edges rounded and smoothed :)

I replied to another thread to a member looking for a swim platform. I just so happened to be in the middle of replacing mine so I thought I would just start my own thread: The core on mine was rotted on the original in one spot and I wasn't happy with the size of the available replacements...

LOL

Looking good. Another thing on my list of updates to do.

Buy once - cry once. Always been my motto

So we had a little bit of rain here on the Island last night. Water is pooling in the cover in the cockpit, as expected I think I'm going to make what I used to have when I covered the boat with a tarp for the winter. A couple pieces of PVC pipes with 45' elbows in the aft port and starboard...

I have the same vintage boat. I believe Grady recommends an oil, I forget what its called but I think its mentioned in the owners manual. I'll see if I can look it up later and post it. Here you go J - Welcome Aboard

Hi Willy - I hope all is well with you during this whole corona virus thing. Just wondering if you were still willing to lend the tool out for the motorwell drain plugs? Thanks in advance, Sandro P. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/motorwell-drains.28371/#post-177723

Well I found the thread after all. :)
