    SOCHI Olympics anyone?

    Re: SOCHI Olympics anyone? Up in Big Bear we do. Going tomorrow! Of course it might be close to 70? so there may be some water skiing going on instead of snow skiing. This is 2 hours away from where I live(Los Angeles) at my GF's cabin. This was 2 weeks ago.

    pontoon cover

    Re: pontoon cover The problem with adding snaps is that these covers extend a lot farther than where you really want it to snap on. You then have to shorten it and then sew reinforcing material where the snaps are going to go. I sew webbing and finish the edge with binding and then add my snaps.

    questions about covers and bimini tops fabrics

I just used polyester V92 thread. I didn't have my SolarFix thread yet. Sunbrella beige 60" I use 1". This...

    Boat Cover Vents

    I am going to be sewing up a new boat cover for my "new to me" pontoon boat and have been investigating ways to support the cover with poles. These vents looked intriguing to me as not only do they vent but they look like they will help support the pole/cover better than just a pole with a...

    Re: 5.7 gl fuel pump and emergency stop? I saw this picture on your other thread: I put an arrow on the right hand side of the picure pointing at a hose. Not sure what hose this is, but if it is the flush hose, it needs to have a cap on it or you could be sucking air.
