    1994 mercury force 70hp

    Both recommendations from above are spot on. Both of those guys know their stuff. They helped me immensely. be sure that you be patient when adjusting idle screw… give the engine time to settle ( 20/30 seconds) and adjust when messing with idle screw. tell me how I know😂.

    It could be in the thousands if you take it to a shop. I did mine on a standard surger sewing machine. 19 needle,marine grade vinyl and synthetic thread. Just make templates from what vinyl you remove.

    Making progress! soooo. PL adhesive for bulkhead and stringers? Interesting I assume you will glass over once the PL cures and all gases are done? Also I’m about to dig in to my bulkhead. How was it cutting out with the fuel tank still in? Tricky? Or just take your time ?
