    type and color of paint of Starcraft Islander.

    Just bought some Pettit EZ top side one part eurathane. Painted the side bunk supports first (trailer and boat the same color) to see how it goes on as this is the first time messing with a boat. It went on very smooth and glossy and I’m impressed with how hard it cured. Note the bunks were off...

    How to prevent jack from seizing up? Gets submerged every launch

    Did a quick google search. Apparently this manufacturer has a jack with an oil port. Don’t recall seeing any oil port on mine. I like the point about drilling drain holes.

    decal removal

    Reviving a 16 yo thread. Figured there should be better ways out there. Removing the decals on my 1998 Sylvan. Got one side done yesterday. To remove the glue, acetone did nothing , mineral spirits did nothing. Gasoline did the best but a lot of rubbing. Haven’t tried anything else yet. The 3M...

    spark plug question

    IMO, a replacement should be the exact same length. Take all the plugs out and use a scale through the plug hole to measure the distance to the piston at TDC. Even if the plug wouldn’t hit, I would find a replacement that is the same length. Would a longer plug affect the flame profile? I don’t...

    Stock Windshield Height?

    If this is your boat, use the picture as a scale. Measure the window on the picture. Take that measurement down the side of the boat and note the start and end of the measurement. Go to the boat and measure that distance. It should get you close.

    Trailer wheel bearings - standard or stainless

    I’ve been in equipment reliability for 40+ years and can’t say I’ve heard of stainless roller bearings, but that is with industrial equipment and I never considered a stainless roller bearing for my applications. I would be wary of stainless myself. You can’t beat a good Timken bearing assuming...

    Another boring winter day in northern Wisconsin

    This was in 2019 walking in our woods. There was a 3rd one out of the picture. They still had a lot of fuzz so not sure if they were flying yet, but wouldn’t be long if they weren’t. See some owls every year. Awesome birds.
