Hi all,
I have an older boat that came with a white vinyl type fitted cover. I need to rewaterproof and soften it as each time I take it on or off it is cracking. It has become quite porous, but I am not in the position to replace it. At home I put a larger tarp over the vinyl cover as well, but...
Hi all,15 foot fibreglass runabout with 70hp evinrude. Trailer has 4 centre rollers and 2 side bunks. <br /><br />Question is, should the rollers support most of the weight of the boat and the bunks merely steady the rear, or should the bunks support the rear of the boat and the rollers very little?

My boat is a 4.3m Savage runabout with an Evinrude 70 and a Yamaha 2.5 trolling motor. If I decide to fit some trim tabs, the portside tab will have to be mounted immediately in front of the trolling motor. can anyone see any disadvantageous to this situation please, apart from the possibility...
