    Fuel tank fitting

    Question….. what should be used on the threads of this fitting. In addition what is to be used on the fuel fill rubber line? I know about 2 hose clamps must be used on each end. Is there a sealant to be used? Any help would be appreciated.

    Gas leaking out of one carb?

    Did you replace the needle? i used a qtip with a dab of brass o to polish up the brass needle seat in the bottom of the carb. That helped mine stop leaking. Did you check the float height?

    Replacing seals on power steering arm

    Anyone replaced the seals in a mercruiser power steering actuator? Im fairly certain that it would be available from an auto parts store. Part numbers and any tips on how to rebuild would be appreciated. here’s the part I’m looking at.

    Maybe…it was incredible how fast it cured..I wanted my first attempt on something less critical to the structure of the boat. happy with the results.

    Update 6-29 another project that needed attention. The aft locker was toast. I removed that a couple years ago. After removing the rotted wood i made a template out of cardboard. So today I decided to tackle this and use polyester instead of epoxy. Learning curve here. Here’s the locker empty...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    That said if you start chipping away at that layer and it seems to have a good bond you may be okay.

    If it’s your first layer I’d probably start over. You need a good bond to the boats original polyester. Hope that makes sense It really should be saturated and clear when doing layers. Just like the picture that tpen posted.

    Starter crapped out today, I tapped it with a hammer then it worked.

    Probably… had a 76 Volkswagen rabbit that had the same issue. Always carried a hammer with me… the bendix finally gave out.. replaced the starter. others may agree don’t go with an overseas cheapo one. Get the real deal. JMO

    4200 vs 5200

    Got it. Thank you. just been getting mixed opinions on what to use. It’s a belly tank that is under the aft cabin. It’s got it’s own compartment. My fear was having the strips move around while getting it in place. Glueing them on would alleviate them shifting while the tank is installed...

    4200 vs 5200

    Looking for advice. I’m ready to attached neoprene strips to my new fuel tank. I’ve got a ton of 4200 and very little 5200 available. Can I use 4200 instead of 5200 to adhere the strips? Any guidance would be appreciate. Thanks in advance

    Bent skeg on outboard

    Doesn’t look that bad. A Bit of heat from a propane torch should make it easy to straighten out. Go slow and easy

    Some will store resin in a fridge. Just a thought if you have an extra fridge.
