Oh, to answer your question, I pulled up the bow portion I replaced 30 years ago with treated and everything looked fine............yes I replaced it with treated. I have been looking in the dfw area for marine plywood and so far everything is special order. I will keep looking. thanks for the...
I understand using treated wood on aluminum is a bad idea. I have used treated plywood for my decking a while back and does not seem to have any issues. wonder if I need to swap it out, if so, with what.
I also need to replace my transom now after 20 years..........again. I used non treated...
I have a 1996 90hp Evinrude and for some time now it has been leaking where the lower unit connects to the mid section. When we replaced the impeller a year ago I noticed a rubber gasket a little bent out of shape. we put it back as best we could but was wondering what else could have caused it...
Took the boat out today and all of a sudden nothing from any of the accessories. All of the 12v devices would not work except the bilge pumps which are direct wired. There is supposed to be a 50 amp circuit breaker on the starboard side engine area but we could not find one anywhere. There were...
Re: Rehab on 65 Texas Maid

I have been working on the sides for some time and it is starting to show. We now have a new distraction 24 ft sailboat........I do not know how to sail. :(
I have a 69 Glasstron I am trying to get the steering wheel off. the back has some bolts I removed but has done no good. The front appears to have a bolt with a "key" nut needed to take off. Is there a special key to take this off?As you can see a small screw driver does not work. :facepalm:
Re: Gas Leak in 90hp rude
Correction, it is a 96 rude. I took a closer look and noticed the leak was coming from the lower port carb. I was able to get some pics of the holes. the top left pic shows the small pipe inside teh carb area that gas will come from. All the other carbs are dry...
I have a 94 90 hp rude that I have not taken out in a couple of years but did have the carbs rebuilt about 4 years ago. I ran the gas out last year and fogged the engine. I started it up last night after changing the gas filter and appeard to be good, this morning we were going to take it out...
Well it finally happened. I lost my drain plug for my 65 Texas Maid. Does anyone know the deminisions so I can get this replaced or will a regular drain plug work? I am going to the store to get a regular one to see if it will fit but would like to see if I can find a replacement somehow at a...
I have a question for all Rustoleum users.
Would you use Rustoleum Primer on an aluminum boat by rubbing vinegar to etch prior to putting the primer on?
I am having some electical problems and may be draining my batteries. I have a hunch it may be a similar problem like a car engine and could be the starter solinoid.
I bought a new battery and traded in another so I will be starting off with fresh batteries. Any ideas how to ts this problem?
I tried to post on the engine area but would not let me so I will post here. Today we went out on our Sea Ray with 260 mercruiser and I noticed the amps did appear to be correct as if it were not charging the battery according to the gauge.
I would shut off the engine and then start it again...
My 80 26ft sea ray has the tilt for the motor and trim tabs. The left trim tab makes a noise when activated but does not move. When the right trim tab is activated the left trim tab makes a noise and does not move. The motor tilt does not work at all.
I will start by looking at fuses but are...
