    new to me 97 ski sanger dlx 20 stringer movement near stern

    When I do decide to glass, should I use epoxy or old polyester resin? What are the pros and cons of both?

    I appreciate your response and yes I believe I can shore it up for a season. There are many ways to skin a cat they say. I will however give it a good inspection first before making my decision on how to tackle it.

    100% I will. I am very mechanically inclined and I am sure I will be able to tackle this no matter how deep I get. I'm also a glutton for punishment.

    new to me 97 ski sanger dlx 20 stringer movement near stern

    It's a DD ski boat. The hull looks to be in great condition, no bubbles, cracks, flexing. These boats are known to be very solid. As far as scarfing, I figured I cut the angle in the boat and pull out the rotten part. Obviously if the whole thing is toast to the bow I won't be able to scarf...

    Yes, I don't plan on taking it out until I have it solid. I'm pretty sure I explained that already. I'm not using it until it's been addressed. I am looking for ideas on ways to repair it. The rest of the boat is solid. The only reason the PO noticed it was because he opened up the floor to get...

    thanks, I plan of doing some sort of fix. I've read you can drill and fill with epoxy as well? add some more fiberglass for strength? adding another right next to the old one? Just looking to see if there are any alternatives besides having to rip it all out

    new to me 97 ski sanger dlx 20 stringer movement near stern

    Hi everyone, I just picked up a low hour ski sanger dlx 20 that has a loose stringer near the stern. I got it cheap so I am ok with having to do work on it. I know the proper way is to completely replace it but I am not going to be able to do that for a while and I want to use it this season for...

    3.0LX Mercruiser always running cold

    This is also true however it's spent 99.99% of it's life in freshwater lakes. After doing the fuel pump, water seperator, new plugs it's running great however I after say running at 2000 rpms for awhile in a no wake zone and then when I accelerate it will sometimes bog for a second but not every...

    3.0LX Mercruiser always running cold

    That's what I figured. Just not sure I can get one before I head to the cabin for 2 weeks. Am I going to do a lot of damage to the motor with it always running cold?

    3.0LX Mercruiser always running cold

    Hi everyone, I have a 96 Grew bowrider with a mercruiser 3.0LX raw water cooled that never warms up. I bought this boat at the start of the summer. I have so far changed the oil, readjusted the choke, replaced the fuel pump and added a water/fuel seperator. She's running waaaaay better now...

    Do new fuel pumps come with a filter pre loaded

    Thanks guys! That's great. I did get the correct fuel line from the local marine parts store and let me tell you I'm still walking funny.... I'll leave take out the second filter and spring out of the new fuel pump as well. I'm thinking I'll prime the filter with fuel to try to avoid any...

    Do new fuel pumps come with a filter pre loaded

    I'm about to put in the water/fuel separator kit and will be changing the fuel line as well as it's old. I see most people put it before the fuel pump but then I saw a post that says I shouldn't use a 10 micron filter pre pump or it will starve the pump. Says the filter is good for 90gph which...

    Do new fuel pumps come with a filter pre loaded

    That was my next question as I thought it might restrict flow too much! thanks again. You guys are awesome.

    Do new fuel pumps come with a filter pre loaded

    Thanks I'll dig into it. Also, does it matter what inline spin on fuel/water seperator I use? would this one flow correctly for my 3.0lx...

    Do new fuel pumps come with a filter pre loaded

    thank you for your reply. I am worried as it's an aftermarket pump, I had to get what I could in a short period of time. If the filter was there I would think that the fuel would be clean up at the carb... Maybe I should open it up to double check

    Do new fuel pumps come with a filter pre loaded

    Hi everyone, I just replaced a failing fuel pump in a new to me 1996 Grew Cutter with a 3.0LX Merc (canadian made bowrider). I had another thread about issues with fuel supply after but it seems to have worked itself out. I believe it was a vapour lock. When I was pumping the fuel through the...
