    bow pulpit repair

    1/2" allows for plenty of anchor clearance, guess its fill and cover. I have some starboard that will work fine. Now how do I fill.

    bow pulpit repair

    Just want to fix the defects on the edges of the roller. I do not think putting the roller on top will work because the anchor will hit the bottom of the pulpit. I suppose clean up meant cosmetic repair. The pictures I took did not upload on the first post.

    bow pulpit repair

    Looking for advice on how to clean up the bow pulpit anchor roller area. I am pretty weak in the fiberglass area so need some help. The entire pulpit is ok, no movement, bending etc... We never anchor in deep water and only use the anchor when at the redneck Riviera at the inlet beach. Maybe...

    digital gauges/tank sender wires

    Sight gauge is simply a circular dial on the sender which has a needle and can reads from empty to full. Over the last 3 years they have shown to be fairly accurate based on tank volume, reading of the gauge and fuel put in to get to full reading. That is if it says 1/2 full, I can put in...

    digital gauges/tank sender wires

    Yup that did it, thanks. Unfortunately solving one problem led to another. The Garmin and the separate tank screen read about the same and accurately represent the readings of the sight gauges on the senders. The problem is that the combined tank readings screen shows a substantially lower...

    digital gauges/tank sender wires

    After a couple of months and a few trips I have worked out most of the bugs from the repower. Currently my only problem is that I am pretty sure both gauges are reading my main tank and showing the level of that tank on both gauges. The garmin engine screen does read tank 1 and tank2 and gives...

    Repowering

    Suzuki, Yamaha, Merc prob all good choices. Suzuki will be the cheapest. What is very important is the repower facility. A tale of 2 repowers, mine with Suzuki and my friend with Yamaha. On mine the engines were hung fine but after that very sloppy and poorly done. Left the yard not being...

    ENGINE FLUSHING

    My OX66 had similar problem. The problem was corrosion in the rectifier/regulator. It was the last chamber before the pee tube fitting on the cowling. It is bolted to the block and to keep cool has salt water running through it. Bad design in my view. Small bits of crud would occasionally...

    Navy Seal Museum Fundraiser

    Memorial tournament to raise money for the Seal Museum last Sunday. Team GO FISH did ok. Had the biggest Mahi, but beat out by a 19 pound Cobia in the Calcutta. Good day for a good cause.

    New Suzukis

    I forgot. While working today got caught in a rain storm. Noticed water running under and behind the gauge panel. All these new starboard panels need some form of sealing. I am at a loss there. Black silicone, Butyl tape, ?? Need to be able to pull panels for work if needed...

    New Suzukis

    Done for now. If I never see a heat shrink connector again I will be happy. After a few fishing trips I will tackle the old ac/dc breaker panel on the cabin bulk head.

    circuit breaker

    Had to run out and buy a breaker to finish my panel. WM did not have smaller size needed. The other shop in town had another brand ETA which has terminals labeled 1 and 2 not line and load. Cannot find anything on their website as to which is which. Any ideas? Additionally does it matter if...
