A split pool noodle will prevent any cracked heads. Put up when the door is open. Still will get a solid bump but no stitches needed.

If you do decide to drill and tap into the aluminum, don't forget to apply the TefGel.

Can't tell from the pic exactly where it is. Check out Spectrum Color patch paste on Iboats web site. They mix the color and send it to you. I have used it to fix small dings in gel coat. Not cheap for a few ounces but cheaper than trying to mix yourself. The color was correct when I used it...

BTW The carb pic is from a mower given to me. My friend said it was running then stored. Honda engine so I thought I had really had a something good. When they went to ethanol fuel in Florida there were lots of problems. Friend had his fuel lines become apart Clog his pump and in-line filter …...

You guys in Southern California just think you have humidity. In Florida it's for real. Get away from the ethanol fuel. It's more expensive at the pump but cheaper in the long term. Clean out the tank. Use non-ethanol fuel. Add the Racor filter. Probably never have another issue with fuel. If...

Does the fuel have ethanol in it? Are you in a high humidity location?

Owens & Sons in St. Pete They do build a quality trailer

Did you mean bronze not brass???

Looks like they crushed the transom tightening the bolt Thus the crack Maybe there was a void in the transom layup Think it’s nothing but bad news Sorry

If no cooler, where do you keep the ice for the bag? Can see a bag for fish too long for cooler In Florida it takes a lot of ice 200 # minimum to get them cooled down

Most trailers have bunks that extend past the I-beam When I had the trailer built I had Owens make the I-beam extend to the transom with the bunks on top That way I-beam supported the total bunk Hooked the strap to the I-beam and went over to other side with carpet padding Made a secure boat to...

Lucky to have so many freezers. After shrimping I put some ice in garage fridge to use fishing another time. Got the bags mixed up and dumped into a cooler with food. Didn’t turn out well.

BTW … Zylene used to be the solvent to clean up coal tar epoxy Get some chemical resistant gloves

If you put 5200 / 4200 in the fridge after use it will last a very long time. Several years. Sit out to warm up before use. It gets too thick to come out of the tube when cold. Same with silicone. Recommend the garage fridge. Other fridge causes domestic disputes. And wipe off threads with...

Some people strap across the bow too. Instead we used a very large turn buckle to tighten the bow eye down to the trailer. Have seen boats break off the winch post. Want to keep it on the trailer no matter what. If you see folks having to scrape up a large boat off the highway after an accident...
