Spray anything electric, even terminal blocks and connections in the vessel. Just don't overdo it, light coat every now and then. If your observant, and it sounds like you. You'll notice it, when it needs a touch up.

High concentrations of bleach also eats away at your plastic suppers and thru hulls.

Remove the cowling, and check to see if the tube is connected to the outlet (where the water should be coming out). Un-regulated high pressure water at marinas are known to pop those tubes off of the outlet, when its not properly secured. Also, don't run the engines with the water hose attachment.

Well said, the only way to know what you need is to use what you got. I was merely suggesting that you have room for a prop with more " bite" to help with heavier loads and the need to get up on plane. There is no doubt about it, your definatly on the right track.

I am more than likely way off, but being that heavy i.e 4 guys with 100gal of fuel reaching 6100 rpms, could mean that you might be a little under propped. In my opinion and this is just my two cents, I would want to reach 6100 being as light as possible. Being loaded down, I would want to be...

3mpg at 25 knots is pretty stellar, if you ask me.

Concur with high tech! They do a stand up job, whether its modifying and old trailer to custom fit or building a new one. I just dropped off a trailer for a Century 2400 yesterday. They have done a lot of work for me in the past and I have no complaints. However, they are pretty busy this time...

You could always hang a couple of heat lamps (wal mart, home depot, etc.) from your shop ceiling. Because of the inconsistancy in tempature, I would not recommend using a heat gun. With the lamps, you will be able to regulate the temp by moving the bulb either closer or further away from the gel...

Wart hit the nail on the head. I had the same setup, with the bait tank on the bracket I ended up making my own portable 30 gallon tank after using Wart's tank as a template (slight modifications). Best thing next to changing the prop I ever did. I sold my boat, but I still have the tank. I am...

In my opinion, I wouldn't think that you need one on a f300. That engine should give you plenty of power to be able to get up on plane. I have one on my f225 ( slightly under powered) and it did help out with planeing and staying on plane in lower speeds. But, what helped the most was the prop...

Add this to your gel coat https://www.fibreglast.com/product/Non- ... _Additives . I would use duratec throughout the vessel, but its pricey. If you want to save money, since it's only the roof and the traffic will not be as great. You could get away with using a cheaper brand. But if you want...

If the product does not have wax. Then the barrier (pva) only needs to be applied after the final application. The "tackiness" from previous coats aids with adhesion. This applies to polyester resins as well.

Boatworkstoday. https://youtu.be/339W-ZNC1_0 This guys puts out a lot of good info.

I had the lightweight cover for 9yrs up until I sold the boat. I took it off and put it on weekly during the summer, no problems whatsoever. Closest thing to a garage!

Capt, I seen you cruising yesterday back side of shell island. I was anchored up across from Tyndall, that tank looked awesome going across the bay! My wife really liked the color.
