    Add gauges or not?

    I had all kinds of gauges in my old muscle cars and hot rods. My most useful was the vacuum even over the tach. Didn't know there's a water pressure gauge especially for outboards. I'll look into that. Oh, maybe a water temp gauge might be useful????

    Add gauges or not?

    My project boat does not have any gauges on it. At least 2 gauges I would like is fuel and volts. But I have an old metal portable gas tank that came with the boat. Is it even possible to install a sending unit in such a tank? Or can I find portable tanks somewhere with them? Only finding gauges...

    How to cut wax

    The depth of the scratch will determine the process to fix it. Does the scratch still have the same color as surrounding area? Is it deep and past the color? Never heard of "cut wax them out". Maybe he was referring to a fine compound and buff gently? That could work if the scratches are more of...

    Oop's, thanks, forgot about glassing the stringers. I'm really not sure how much polyester resin I'll need. All I have to go by so far is as mentioned above, an online site said 1/2 gallon for a linear yard of 50" wide 1708. According to US Composites tech guy I only need one layer of 1708 on...

    Once you adjust the float for your tank it "should" work.

    I have plenty of sanding supplies. I left out disposable paint brushes, roller covers and mixing buckets. * I got my info from online fiberglass shops for calculating how much polyester resin I would need for at least the top coat with 1708. I "think" I could get away with one gallon for the...

    Tackle boxes

    Years ago I bought a Bass Pro Extreme bag and love it. I used to always have the big hard plastic ones. With the soft sided I can load whatever Plano boxes I need for the type of fishing I'm planning on doing and leave the rest at home...

    Premium Gas for 50hp & 7.5hp 2-Stroke Outboards

    I've been an auto tech most of my life. Really only need high octane if you get detonation (knocking) when running lower octane fuel. The bad regarding ethanol is that it could quickly deteriorate rubber parts in older carburetors, such as the rubber tip on the needle valve or rubber seals on...

    Yep I see "Unwatch" up above. I triple checked everything in my account and all email notifications are on. What's strange is I did get email notifications with my first two threads in the beginning.

    Thanks for the reply. Okay I'm getting wicked old and forgetting things. But wouldn't the math be feet times feet times the 2 sides equals, then divide the total feet by three to equal square yards? Help! :eek:

    Installing new decking question

    I stumbled across an online calculator a few days ago that allowed me to input my info then it processed the amount of resin needed. I just tried to find the site again but no luck. Basically I input 4' x 16' both sides (42.6 sq yrds) using 1708 and it said I would need just shy of 10 gallons...
