Thank you for the response and why I love posting here.
Good information on boat building.
If I do find it is leaking you think a simple run some sealant around is best way to remedy it? Quite frankly the few things I did have go wrong with my boat Parker was good with mailing me parts. My...
Anyone see this
My 21se I can see the backside of the gunnels the hardware and it’s rusted.
In curious if anyone has a 2021 21se and notices this?
I may take a hose and spray and feel the backside and see if water comes into the hull.
It is does may put a bead of clear caulk on the...
All done I drilled out all the old screw holes with a countersink, laid loctite marine epoxy in them and packing tap over the top.
For the battery box, I filled the holes good with 4200 and 4200 on the screws. Got a nice tight seal.
My next step will be to take out that old charger and sell...
Guys thank you. I got the tray from bass tech. This seems like a much sturdier product. I also like how the screw holes are under the tray which will make for a better seal with sealant…
Thank you I have ordered those battery trays that you sent, now to patch 4 more holes and redrill down the new battery box.
Anyone have any luck in using the cap on the locktite marine epoxy?
My battery 36v 60ah is made to be a standard size 31. It also weights 34lb. That battery box still not good? It has 4 attachment pints to the floor with size 8 screws I bedded in 4200.
Keep in mind I also need to take the battery off and on the boat to charge so some sort of buckle would be...
You have a battery tray you would recommend? I am all for making it best in practice.
I went to the boat today and countersink all the screw holes and laid in loctite marine epoxy with packing tape over to get it flat. For the holes for the existing battery box I bedded screws in 4200.
It’s fits better on the new battery I did try to move the battery and no play. New battery is only 34lb those old lead acids 55lb a piece
What do you recommend I do with the screw holes? I used Pettit fast dry in the red tube and masking tape over it to hold it in.
My new screws holding the...
Good question. I have no clue how they get water in there. I just know when I took the screws out there was no sealant on them and weeped a good deal of water. You are right that is in my console. The screws are an inch and a half thick so not super penetrating. Maybe that is where the bilge...
I wish this were the end to this drama lol it seems to never end with this.
My marina implemented a no extension cord policy so decided to upgrade to a lithium that is 1 36v and is the size of 1 lead acid battery.
In order to do this I had to removed and reposition my battery box.
none of the...
Every 3 years the shop paints my boat. I use a hard paint that has high copper and it’s a multi season.
At the end of every season I run a power washer over the boat to get rid of some of the grime.
I am on season 3.
Last year I painted my tabs with Pettit eco hrt over what as there. I made...
