Actually you can cover the terminal if you wish.
I like the safety factor of covering the stud. Once I was using a socket wrench and touched the other terminal. Very scary.
Bout 4 years ago I was in a similar situation and at the advice of my trusted mechanic Tony I purchased a Yamaha 250 VHO black out board. Totally awesome engine...
Lighter, more powerful and instant acceleration with no hole shot delay..
I do have the old canvas and would like to make some (simple) modifications. Like eliminating the roll up tabs on some panels. Thinner Isinglass on the front roll up panels. I think I want black canvas.
I'm going to need to replace the entire set of canvas on my 228 with hardtop. I seem to remember A&J was the place to call but they have a few locations? I'm in no rush as long as it's done by April. Who should I contact?
Thank You...
There may be an antireverse valve fitting installed in line on the hose from the pump to the baitwell. You can withdraw the valve to see if there is water flow out of the pump and perhaps the issue is the valve..
I found that Interlux 355 was the best for rub rail. Unfortunately Interlux discontinued the product like 10 years ago. I bought a case and use whats left every year...
