    What’s the best way to fix this drain?

    It looks like there are 4 screws holding the thru hull flange to the transom?.. If u remove the thru hull fitting, feed a new hose thru the drain to the thru hull and attach it to both the fitting and the drain with 2 hose clamps on each, reseal the thru hull and drain with 3m 4200 or 5200...

    Need help restoring a 1985 Four Winns 195 Horizon Cuddy 3.7L 170Hp Mercruiser engine

    You can search Friscoboater on youtube, he did a full restore here on a Sea Ray bowrider with detailed videos.....most bowriders are built similar, just different stringer layouts, but the repair procedures are all the same for a wood encapsulated glass boat.

    Update: Today I had to break out the grinder again to clean up some areas to fill and tab. I coated and filled in the edge of the front shelf with a chunky mix for the large gap. Then I precut the transom cloth. then used up the last of my resin to wet it out. Placed an order with USC...

    1981 Sportcraft 270 repair underway - transom, stringers, & repower

    I find that alot of pro repair shops, and oem builders will usually precut their cloth and wet it on a flat board, then lay full size equal length tabs for stringers and bulkheads, meaning a 12" high stringer will have 24" strips cut and wetted, then laid into place wet on wet. Then they will...

    Rehab SportCraft 222 1983 deep V hull cuddy walkaround

    You shouldnt need any additional fuses, it should be wired directly to the battery, before any battery switches if u have one. That way, no matter what, as long as the battery has juice, the pump will work. The built in fuse is inline between the positive battery terminal, and the switch.
