    Sterndrive Hinge Pins Question

    Very true. A little red goes a long way. Heat is really the only thing that will soften it. Good tip.

    Toy-Nation.....

    I’m thinking if you had white stuff down there it would be disastrous. I remember being in Dallas and having a little sleet that accumulated on the roads, cars skidding and crashing everywhere. No one knew how to drive in it.....it was bad. I used to have a Honda V65 Magna I totally restored...

    Toy-Nation.....

    I live really close to West Virginia, and they recently made it legal for side by sides to drive on certain public roads. A lot of guys that had 4 wheelers are trading them in on the much larger side by side. Me personally, I like the 4 wheeler as it is a bit smaller and easier to get through...

    Toy-Nation.....

    Nice Yamaha. Looks very clean. I still have to change oil in the chain case too. My Polaris is a 2 stroke so no oil change there. I rode an Arctic Cat 4 stroke and a 2 stroke Skidoo last year, friends sleds. I bought the Polaris at the end of the season. Looking forward to seeing if it can keep...

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    Yes, the thickened resin will fill all the imperfections in the transom. When you clamp it, all the excess will squeeze out around the edges.

    Marine Growth Took Over.-

    To each their own. I’m all fresh water, and no dock. I don’t mind putting mine up in a dry garage. Though someday a private lake dock is definitely in the cards.....

    Toy-Nation.....

    Looking forward to this season. Didn’t have a lot of snow in the Adirondacks last year. Just need to get new studs and I’m ready.

    hello new guy here

    Welcome to IBoats. Aside from a local boat salvage, you may not have much luck. What exactly are you looking for? What year is the boat?

    Marine Growth Took Over.-

    Agree.....and an oversized garage helps.... though whoever keeps making these messes needs a stern finger wagging!!

    Toy-Nation.....

    One toy is getting put away for the winter while another is patiently awaiting its turn. Making time for them all!!

    How long to idle engine to circulate fuel stabilizer through system

    +1 @Rick Stephens.....I do it this way. I also like to use the Stabil fogging oil in the carb to kill the engine just as an added precaution. Admittedly this is probably overkill since my boat spends the winter months in my semi heated garage. Seafoam in the tank.

    How can I fix the water leaking at the stern for my boat?

    Follow the advice here and really look into the root cause of the leak. Putting silicon on the transom of a boat to hide a problem is not a good idea. That’s not a fix. It would be like putting duct tape on torn bellows.

    Four Winns cover pooling and leaking new owners

    If you can’t get it into dry storage, getting it wrapped will keep the water out of the boat over the winter.

    Free Boat, This thing is a badboy!

    Ahhh, I long for the summer again. Just drained the water out of my block and dumped the oil. Pulling the drive today.

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    I think they are concerned about water absorption, though I’ve not seen proof of that. I used a fairing compound on my transom that I mixed from a WOG recipe. It consists of polyester resin, phenolic micro balloons, a little cabosil, and surfacing wax. This was most certainly used below the...

    1978 Ebbtide trihull restoration

    You are correct, just down to the fiberglass which in most cases is a pinkish hue. Wipe with acetone or MEK prior to your layups.

    Free Boat, This thing is a badboy!

    Weird that it would warp unless it was damp then laid out in the sun.

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    Just make sure you are using exterior grade plywood. Cabinet grade rings a bell as for being interior plywood.
