    Need help with Hull crack in Aluminum Lowe Boat

    Def not "cosmetic" .The culprit is the bow eye being stainless.Im sure it has been replaced from then original.The stainless has set up dissimilar metal contact and weakened the aluminum as it is less noble than stainless.Aluminum boats usually come with bow eyes and cleats that are replaceable...

    Huge sunbrella canvas boat cover off of 30 footer will sell for ,?

    Probably not much value due to age.However the width is where you are gonna have an issue. 12' wide means its only gonna fit a boat with 8' beam or less.Charlie

    Best Brand Of Storage Cover???

    Any cover I have ever used for storage, I have additionally covered with a relatively cheap poly tarp.waterproof, ice proof and snow slides off of it. Any 600 denier storage cover will do the job but covering THAT cover with a cheap tarp is the hack and it works flawlessly!! Charlie

    Telltale stream and exhaust water flow amounts on Yamaha 2000 200hp Saltwater series 2 stroke

    ALWAYS do a water pump service with a complete kit.NEVER do impeller only. Then labor is the same either way. Cheaping out on parts of that nature could lead to catastrophe.Charlie
