    New guy, floor repair questions

    Greenish filler means someone has tried to cover up the rotted wood inside the fiberglass. In those days, it was thought that fiberglass was water proof, but it is not, only the gel coat makes it waterproof. The glass material over time absorbs water and turns the skeletal wood rotten. Drill...

    New guy, floor repair questions

    Fiberglass boats back in those days have a wooden skeleton over which the fiberglass is layed. If you remove the skeleton, the fiberglass will give and cave in !! Boats rot from the bottom up....this means if your floors are rotten, the skeleton under the floor is even worse ! All that...

    Excessive Oil/Grease by Alternator area.

    My old 3.0 had an oil leak from the front seal as well. Was not a bad leak, about 1 qt. thru the season. I bought a case of motor oil absorbing diapers to lay in the bilge. They absorbed all the oil so it did not get discharged into water from the bilge pump. Actually worked great and far...

    Excessive Oil/Grease by Alternator area.

    If you monitor your engine line or you should, it should not be over by a quart unless something is leaking into the pan. Also makes a big difference in the angle your boat sits when checking the oil. I checked the angle on my boats floor when sitting in the water then duplicate that angle...

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Time USB claims a much higher charge rate up to 2c can be used but will shorten overall life of the battery. Their recommendations are used for longest life span. All my communications with them have come directly from China according to their addresses. They have responded quickly to all my...
