....or is it me that's not working properly? I have a ONIX 8 that works great. I added a ONIX 10 but it doesn't pick up the side and the HD down imaging. It's capable, because it shows just fine in demo mode. Yes, I made sure the DI and SI were enabled in the settings. There may be something...
I know number one on the list of "Cons" is, expensive! I have not compared the price to all the other options yet so, maybe it is comparable in price. The "Pro" of lighter weight is enticing. Sounds like it might last longer than wood too. No rot and sag.
Hello everyone, it's been far too long.
I plan to Gluvit my boat. I was wondering if the Gluvit can penetrate through the little bits of foam that is left behind in some of the crevices or should I give it a thorough once-over with a proper tool to pick out every last little remnant of foam?
Hello everyone, it's been quite some time.
I know there are plenty of post about re-bucking but, I foresee a potential problem and want to know how others have handled it. To re-buck, you need one person in the boat with the buck-bar (or whatever it's called) and one person outside the boat...
Believe it or not, I bought it like this. I know, I'm numb in the head region. Never had this boat (in running order) on the water to know if this gash is a problem.
It looks bad, that much I know. It would be a bit embarrassing, especially since it wasn't me that put it there. I'm not sure...
This is a multi-part question and related to my restoration. I'm trying to plan ahead. I have a 17' Lund. I bass fish and occasionally fish lakes for trout. A kicker motor is not in the budget yet, so my plan is to attempt trolling with a bowmount ipilot. I like the idea of trolling a...
This question relates to my boat restoration. I'm trying to decide how and where to set up my batteries.
If you do any trolling with a bowmount, what pound thrust and how long do you get out of your batteries? All day? 12V or 24V? I mainly bass fish. I would like to do some lake trolling for...
I'm in the market for a new bow mount for my 17' Lund Tyee. I'm leaning towards the Minn Kota Riptide 80lb w/ 60" shaft. I mainly fish fresh waters, but I do see myself hitting some salt from time to time since I'm surrounded by it. I was planning on upgrading to the I-Pilot, but I've heard...
I could use some help. As usual I'm doing a little early research so when I can continue my restore I can hit it hard.
This is my 1st boat larger than 12', so it's a little different for me. I'm trying to restore a boat that I never had a chance to see in running condition. I have a 17' Lund...
I got most of the foam out and as I was removing it, I was thinking what a shame to have to take it all out. Just recently I've been considering leaving some of it in. I think I've exposed my problem area. I still have to do a final leak test. I have it isolated to the bow area. It would save a...
Please point me in the right direction if this Q is in the wrong forum.
I've been thinking (day dreaming:rolleyes:) of what I plan on using my boat for and thought of how many and how my batteries should be laid out.
I know I'll need a cranking battery in the back by the motor.
I plan on...
For the top of my gunwales (where people step to get in the boat), I was thinking of directly painting on some sort of non-skid type of material if it exist. If not, I guess my next option would be non-skid tape.
If anyone has had great results (or an opinion) with either or both, I'd love to...
I'm going to call Lund to see if they can provide any and all info on my '87 Tyee. I'm generating a list of Q's before I call. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm doing a little early research. Long before I get back to my restore I need to make a decision about my choice of trailer. I had a rusty trailer break in half on the freeway before (long story). At some point I'm getting a galvanized trailer so that won't happen again.
Before I decide to...
I've had to walk away from this project more than a few times. It's not easy digging foam out of such a small area. Well, I dug it all out and I still can't get it to break free. I guess the pressure of the foam and any little thing the foam has formed around is working against me. It's really...
