Hi fellas
I’m planning to paint my 19 foot bay boat for duck hunting.
I’m thinking of going with a dark gray brightside interlux so that I can easily touch it up. I am also going to prime it with interlux.
I want to make sure I put in good prep work on the hull before painting. What steps...
great feedback here gents
I actually did pump the primer bulb a few times but it didn’t seem to make a difference
Not sure if the outboard is water cooled fuel cooler - I’m not sure what even is. Guess I’ll need to read up
Fuel pump seems to be fine but I’ll look into the fuel pressure...
I have a 2005 Johnson (Suzuki) 115hp 4 stroke with 540 hours
Two weeks ago I was out on the boat and cranked the motor up after fishing a spot -- pushed the throttle down to get up on plane and the outboard bogged down - I came off the throttle for 10 seconds and then pushed it back down and...
These are all valid point gents. I appreciate the insight here. Will call the manufacturer and talk with them as well. Maybe I need some beefier springs.
I’m pretty positive the boat isn’t water soaked so I’m thinking the springs might be manufactured wrong
This brings up another question — I hate the bottom paint color….could I just paint over it with black bottom paint or would I need to strip the blue off first?
Scratched the keel putting the boat on the trailer in high winds.
Two Questions
I want to take the boat out tomorrow but started to think it might be a bad idea. What do you all think?
Looking to repair this - I was thinking some cabosil and epoxy - will dremel it back a bit first, sand...
Maycraft 1900
1900 lb hull
52 gallon tank - 3/4 full right now
2005 Johnson 115 4 stroke - approx - 335 lbs
Springs are rated for 2000 each or 4000 total
Manufacturer of boat works specifically with road king on this package (atleast what road king told me on the phone)
Hahaha ignore the zip tie 😂
I also did the lights today and it there while fishing the wires
Before they looked similar I just didn’t know if the shackle was supposed to be pushed toward the back or if there should be more clearance for the axel.
The more I think about it - it’s perfectly fine 😂
I just redid my springs on my road king w/ 1900 maycraft on it
correct springs and gear according to road king.
seems like the shackles are pointy towards the stern…
also to my inexperienced eye it seems that there isn’t much axel clearance.
would love to hear your thoughts. Hopefully it’s...
Hi guys,
I’ve spent the last hour trying to figure out the wiring for my 14 foot skiff. I’d like to have the switch panel in the stern (tiller drive) and the battery near the bow for weight distribution.
Here is the best I could come up with. I am struggling to understand the smartest way to...
Thanks for your feedback. The hull is made out of Chopper Gun fiberglass. The hull is actually a lot deeper than the picture makes it look.
If I was going to go with just two stringers which groves would you recommend putting them in? Or should I just go for 3 stringers?
