Inside of the transom is fully completed!! Took more resin than I care to admit and i provably over did it but I feel 100% positive that it is fully water tight in there! Took some extra pb and fixed up the inconsistencies with a brick mortar spreading tool... actually made quick work of it...
Welcome!
Need some pics so we can see what you are seeing. Server issues on the site currently, so uploading pics directly is not an option. You can create a google photo album and upload the link however.
Without pics however, you could drill some core samples in the floorboard to see if the...
Nice pics!!! Gorgeous boat with potential! That being said.....Please heed my advice. I was you 8 months ago......except I have 2 working shoulders. I bought a boat that I thought was going to run for me and very little needed to be done. I was convinced I knew what I was getting into. After...
So I had a few minutes to tinker with the engine noise last night. Turns out that the constant noise must have been a low oil alarm. I added some oil to the engine and the noise stopped. Still haven't been able to get the time to tinker with the starter too much. I was kind of hoping that the...
I got a 1989 Suzuki dt85 85hp engine. Powerhead was toast. Bought a new one.... possible different year but everything seemed to fit. Hooked it up and now there are some wiring components in the wire harness that don't have anywhere to hook up to. Power tilt works. The throttle box now makes...
No pics but I think for this...a video might be better.
Got out there the last 2 days and worked on puting the motor back together and trying to get it to run and also worked on the inside end of the transom. Got pb and csm laid down back there... looks horrible..... but it'll be...
Also can't get the new power head to fire up at all. Gotta do some detective work as I have no clue why it's not starting abs why the control box screams at me
Working on the outboard today. Got the wire harness started. Some components are not matching but for now. I do believe I got the power tilt hooked up correctly. As soon as I added power...I got a continuous beep coming from the control box. Didn't even know it did that. What is it and how do...
Well I'll be damned! LOL I will definitely have to look things up there then!!!! Got a ways to go with buying accessories as I am barely touching the boat this past month. Birthday and vacation got in the way of working on her 2 weeks ago. Gonna get back out there tomorrow and Thursday...
Your plan for the hull light shining through seems ok.
If the boxes are not sealed, then leave them be. I read you stating that you basically didn't care how they turn out. Were you just going to leave them alone? They will just rot out sooner. I would glass them over just to have that added...
Little off topic, but you out up a link for EVA on Temu......Isn't that site full of cheap items......and therefore, poor quality items? If I am wrong, and they are carrying good quality boat accessories, then I need to start looking into that!
I personally would have added a couple layers of 1708 to the inside as well as done something to beef up the outside such as a keel guard as recently suggested.
Looking real good though!
