    Sealing pink insulation foam?

    Yup, I used HDPE trash bags to fully encapsulate my foam sections at the stern of the boat. And I sealed them with aluminum tape which is also fuel resistant. The bags are easy to get; just do a 'net search. :cool:

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Thanks WM! Couldn't have done it without help from you and others on this forum. :) I just wish that I'd left the seats up instead of folded down. They aren't visible in the pix. And I wasn't able to get drone pix/video because my drone broke... twice. :rolleyes:

    does this look like it had power tilt and trim?

    My pleasure. I have a pair of 70HP Mercs that use the same T&T setup which will be going onto my Chieftain. Here's the 50 with new decals applied. 🤓

    Some good stuff happening

    Today the boy finished up plugging the sheet metal joint holes and my buddy came over to pick up the leftover ducting. While here, he rehung the AU-23 Peacemaker back up into the heights of the garage, marking final completion of the AC project. :cool:

    Dinner break! My buddy's wife and little boy came over, so naturally we had to add dessert too! 😋 Initial setup and testing the heating... worked great! Here we started testing the cooling and it was rapidly dropping the inside temperature. Just 5 minutes later it had dropped...

    Some good stuff happening

    My buddy showed up this afternoon and got right to work. And the AC is now fully installed and functional! :cool: The boy and I had cut up a couple of the foam insulation sticks into little donut shapes (by the door) and used them to plug the holes in the sheet metal end sections where...

    Yep, it's a multi-type thermostat. Dunno about the painting/grinding thing but I do know this... The AC is done! 😁

    Some good stuff happening

    We went to HD this afternoon and picked up a generic air filter, some foam pipe insulation and a couple of 3/4" PVC elbows as well as a 24" section of 3/4" PVC pipe. Got everything lined up, ready to go to work. Foam insulation installed. Foam insulation installed on the outside section...

    Some good stuff happening

    This afternoon we did a little garage work. I had to decide what to do with my old RC airplane stuff and ended up choosing to keep it for awhile longer. Who knows, I might actually finish that AU-23 Peacemaker that's hanging from the ceiling someday! :sneaky: So we removed everything from...

    does this look like it had power tilt and trim?

    Yes, that looks like the same setup that I have on my 1985 Merc 50HP outboard with power trim & tilt.

    Some good stuff happening

    Well, it was an interesting day today for sure. My wife found a big jewelry box that she wanted from Craigslist. We went down to pick it up and on the way home we spotted a roadside flea market kind of thing. So we stopped to check it out. I noticed a bunch of loudspeakers and sent the boy...

    Some good stuff happening

    When the boy was done with school yesterday afternoon, we went out to do cleanup and rearrange the garage since the basic wiring installation had been completed the day before. We spent just over two hours cleaning and arranging, then went into the house to rest and have dinner. I have these...
