Hi all,
I have a 2006 Mercruiser 4.3L TKS that is running poorly and I’m running out of ideas. The boat seems to be starving for fuel. It starts right up and idles beautifully. I motor 15-20 minutes through a no wake zone to the ski area. There I open it up and it runs great. I’ll run...
I have a 1984 Mercury 115hp Tower of Power Inline with a high voltage problem. The rectifier passes the diode resistance check. All connections seem to be tight and clean. The battery is a new (June) 650cc deap cycle lead acid type. Voltage shows almost 16 volts on gauge and voltmeter at...
I bought a 1984 Mercury 115hp used. Swapped it onto my boat and it runs and sounds great on land with the muffs. When I put it in the water it boggs down much above a high idle. Correct prop. Had stator issues and we swapped stators with another 115 mercury (same part number). Engine had...
I made a new rear deck, fuel tank hatch cover and a rear bulk head out of marine plywood and coated it on all sides with West Marine penetrating epoxy. I had intended to encapsulate everything in polyester resin and cloth tape.

I build a bulkhead sister out of marine 1/2 ply and sandwiched the bad bulkhead with stainless through bolts. I coated it in Penatrating epoxy. I will then glass it to the side stringers with...
Re: What kind of Resin were 1980s Four Winns made of?
Just currious why not? I have no experience working with resin.
This is what I am repairing. I have cut out a doubler from 1/2 marine plywood to sandwich the rotted bulkhead. I then plan to glass it together.
Any and all advise will...
I have a 1986 Four Winns Horizon 170. I am rebuilding some rot damage. Does anyone know what kind of resin the used back then? I am planning on using MAS epoxy to glass in new plywood to the old fiberglass and I am concerned about a good bond. Thanks!
