I recently purchased a Navman 2100 Fuel sender. This is a flow meter type of fuel guage. That is, it has a tranducer in the fuel line and measures fuel going through the fuel line and boasts 5% accuracy.<br /><br />Installation took about 30 minutes. I installed the transducer after the...
It appears my fuel vent or possibly the hose is plugged. While filling the tank yesterday the fuel did not go out the vent but out the filler once full. I even doubt the tank was full.<br /><br />Here's my question. How is thru hull tank vent attached to the vent hose in a typical installation...
About to use some of this Git Rot for some spots in the deck. I pulled the old console and found some serious gouges in the fiberglass exposing the wood underneath. Of course this wood is saturated. Will acetone help remove some of this water prior to using the Git Rot?
Did a search and didn't really find an answer.<br /><br />Now that I have to paint my fiberglass deck, is there something better than EasyPoxy that won't oxidize? Apparently EasyPoxy will oxidize in any color other than semi-gloss or gloss white. Doesn't have to be non-skid as I have mats and...
If your drill bits are more than 3 years old and have never been sharpened, buy new ones.<br /><br />When drilling holes in wood, use a piece a scrap wood behind the hole to help prevent splintering.<br /><br />When drilling holes in aluminum, be sure and deburr the holes. I used a countersink...
I'm about to buy a Garmin 162. My question is whether there is a performance difference between the internal and external antenna. Does the internal perform the same as the external?
Looking for an epoxy paint for the new center console and I came upon EasyPoxy by Petite. Any comments on this stuff? Is there better for less money? Locally this goes for around $90/gallon.
Just got the Autocad drawings back from our shop. Console is about to begin. I'm excited.<br /><br />In talking to the "expert" down at the lumber yard, he convinced me to go with MDO (medium density overlay) instead of ACX. I have this in my shop and I like it. According to him, MDO is what the...
Well due to my boat sinking while I was on vacation last week, it appears I'm going to start next year's project this year.<br /><br />The goal is to replace deck, stringers (as needed) and to build a new center console. What will prove to be the hardest part will be working conditions. I do not...
Anyone know of any Aqausport sites like the Old Mako site? In the '70s there were a million of these boats around so there should be something out there. I can't find anything however.<br /><br />I'm about to tear into a 1970's 22' Aquasport and looking for ideas, project stories, suppliers of...
Caught this Bluefish after work yesterday. Outrageously low tide with schoolies pushing bait onto shore. 12lbs, 28". Guess the fish haven't left yet afterall. Might just have to put the boat back in the water for a few days.<br /><br />
I have a 1975 22' Aquasport that I just bought. I have 3 projects in mind. 1 - Center Console 2 - Leaning Post/box 3 - Fix deck soft spots (I should say replace floor).<br /><br />For the center console and leaning post/box, I plan on 1/2" plywood covered with glass. I have read and heard not to...
