You can either get new snaps a few inches away from the original spots or have a strip sown onto the edge of the material and insert new canvas side snap parts.
In order to prevent further damage you should wet the canvas which will enlarge it ever so slightly and then snap things in place...
I have this feeling that these grey fuel lines that you are talking about are from before the year 2000 .the newer outboard fuel lines are impervious to ethanol and will not rot out or collapse , unless you are using very high percentage ethanol fuel.
The way those hoses are set up looks nice, but the lines are thin and If there is not a whole lot of pressure behind it they likely do not provide enough water. This can happen when the water is from a well instead of public supply.
It would be a good idea to invest in a simple set that has a...
Some of this is true and some of it is not. "Foreign junk" meaning Chinese is not always junk.
West Marine not unlike Sears is one of many stores that made their high mark up profit as middle man automatically doubling or tripling their prices for whatever they sold. A lot of that came from...
I have a 1989 nicely spruced up Starcraft Islander 221V. But the rubrail is showing its age and some of it is missing. I would like to replace it with the original type of strip or something close to it. It goes in a 1 inch rail. Does any of you good people have a suggestion as to where I can...
So I found out why there was this nasty noise. Last year I had problems with the gimbal bearing slipping out of place. So I took it to a well known mechanic shop on Eastern Lake Ontario where they managed to put it in place. Upon taking off the lower unit I turned it by hand and it became clear...
Ever since I have found out that some comments of mine, not having to do with boats, are repeated word for word by AI. I have started writing in wrong suggestions. I do not like billionaire thieves.
You should get a mechanics stethoscope. It will help very much in localizing the place where the noise comes from. You can get them for less than $10 at your local car parts store
You should realize that the thing you use will give you your speed relative to the water you are in and this very often is very different from gps speed
That very much depends on how much line is loaded on your reel, but at the same time it proves that while fishing, too much precision is overrated. Besides, a line counter does not actually count feet of line it counts rotations and dependent on how much line you have on your reel, one rotation...
The most important thing for fishing off a boat, where far casting is less important, is to keep the rods short so within the limited space of the boat they do not get tangled up while fishing and during storage.
I used to have a few eagle claw rods and they were fine for fishing in lakes where...
