I have a fiberglass Fishing Skiff that has pretty decent California oxidation in on the deck/cockpit from about 10 years uncovered. Floor is white.
When I Ajax the deck it cleans up nicely but any foot traffic leaves black stains that have to be scrubbed very throughly before they come off...
Hello,
I have a lake close by that the kids like to swim at. I used to have a smaller boat that I would just beach and the kids would swim off the shore.
Now I'm thinking about anchoring maby 20-30 ft off of shore. Is it a misuse of the skier down flag to use it at that time?
I thought about...
Was reading through my manual and it mentioned watching the tach gauge while adjusting trim when underway.
What do they mean?
Or is the formula (or goal) to have Highest cruising speed vs lowest rpm via adjusting trim of the motor?
Thanks!
On my carbs I have a copper/brass adjustment screw on the top and a darker black screw on the bottom.
Which one is the Air/Fuel mixture?
I also noticed one of the copper/brass mixture screws is not lined up the same as the other 2 - it's about 2 hours off. (Looking at it like a clock) -...
Lame question but I don't want to over/under drill this.
I'm replacing an old garboard drain plug and bought 1in #8 screws for it as I cannot access behind the drain for through-bolts.
What size should I drill the pilot holes?
Too small I fear cracking/chipping excess glass.
Edit: Added an...
The transom drain plug in this skiff I just bought had a feeble attempt to seal it's leak with silicone.
Tonight I got it pulled out and now need to patch some holes and replace the old one with a new one.
There are a few nut/bolts still remaining that I am just going to cut off the heads of...
I just picked up a 91 Calibogie 15' which is damn near the same boat as the hobie powerskiff.
I've got a few questions on things I need to do to get this thing launched.
Water below deck:
It has a self bailing deck. There appears to be some water below deck and I have had a steady drip through...
I'm considering moving into a cabin cruiser for the family and I to run up and down the coast.
I've sailed a 28 ft Columbia sloop a few times within a mile of the jetty entrance but thats about it.
I know seas and wind change but what is a "Typical" cruise like in a powerboat of what size...
Hello,
Quite new
to boating and I'll butcher the verbage, but I am looking for some type of speedometer for my boat that does not use a transducer, or anything electrical. This is a smaller 10'6 boat and I would just like a gauge on the dash telling me my knots or speed.
Any product links...
Hello All,
Just thought I would post a bit of information about this boat I bought. Searching online for "Link Leisure" yields no information. Just trying to help the next guy out.
This boat, along with 5 others, were on a car lot in Utah. I stopped by and loved the looks of this one. They were...
