    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    One forward and two back. Thought about mounting it in the head behind the helm but this will require me to drill about a 3/4 inch hole. Would need to go thru 2 walls (Helm and Head) with maybe 3/4 to 1 inch space between. Mounting it under the helm doesn't look good and the cable has a 90...

    1976 Montego 16- The "Free" Puppy

    Drilling is done on the inside using about 1/4 bit with tape on it so you don't go to deep Not being able to get to the transom makes it bad

    Silenced .300 Blackout

    It is amazingly quite but don't understand the $350 part. The gun can be had for $350 but add a suppressor and the $200 class 3 stamp and your way over that, unless you already have one

    Do GG Schmitt's L5T... telescoping over-platform ladders with links hang at an angle?

    The ladder is installed so the uprights lead against the swim platform. The platform is what keeps it tilled out and doesn't just fold under

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Could be, but since Chap is just good looking cheap crap from the outside. I'm thinking of doing what another did on Chap forum. He removed everything and made a custom panel to install things like he wanted My thought for later "if I stick with the boat" remove the entire helm, and make new...

    Neptune EX120 prop

    Don't know where to find one, but thinking it may just need to do some closer measurements The outside dimension looks like 3 1/2 to 3 5/8 diameter Props appear to be based on motor diameter. The shaft size will also be a factor. There are a few a Walmart...

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    More info on 1st Mate If engines are killed from MOB they can be restarted after 6 seconds. Was wondering about that because all the manual list is idle and neutral. Might need more then idle to go back and pick someone up Need to have access to hub I mounted it behind the helm which would...

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Yes I found them first time out. The issue is they sell the tubes which also need a gun. Big bucks for one standoff. Using part number MA320 list for marine use and 10:1 mix, but also main use is thermoplastics. I'm bonding Al to Al That's my thought also but did read JB doesn't have much...

    Rechargeable coin Bats

    Have a pedometer using a 3V coin Bat. Was buying regular cheap Bats, then Duracell type and didn't like having to toss when done. Bought a cheap charger and cheap Li Ion Bats and they don't last very long. So got some Duracell Li Ion Bats and they last longer but some are dying faster...

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Looked that up and came up with a gun and tubes which cost a bunch and figuring JB won't work? Looking up Plexus adhesive and came up with smaller items https://www.ebay.com/itm/196030555456

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Removed one of the panels to cut a hole for the VHF. While doing so I noticed another small panel was loose. All panels are held in using Weld Mount System. The epoxy didn't hold so now need to figure how to repair https://www.environmentalmarine.com/142040-1420-2-5-studs/ Will need to sand...

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Agree, it may be able to do it but I wouldn't use it. I'm on an inland lake and can see always see 2 sides and many times 3 sides no matter where I'm at. If in the fog all bets are off :unsure:

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    No have not heard about it, but after reading it seems close to what 1st Mate does. In reading the ACR Olas Guardian website it also cleared up something with my boat. The Reg is for boats under 26FT, so mine is listed as a 280 but only has a 26.5FT hull. Looks like I'm not required to have...

    Alarm sound when turning the key - starter does not work.

    Camper enclosure

    In most all cases it's best to have one made by a local canvas shop. This way it's made the way you want it and it's usually cheaper. Just had one made for mine and saved about $1k over factory and looks better
