    questions about covers and bimini tops fabrics

    Re: questions about covers and bimini tops fabrics I used Sunbrella binding, bias cut so it is easier to go around bends although I didn't really have too many tight bends on this cover. I just used polyester V92 thread. I didn't have my SolarFix thread yet. Sunbrella beige 60" I use 1". This...

    Re: how to check the windings on a three phase motor? Does it actually say 3 phase on the pump? You sure this isn't just a 3 wire pump? Not 3 phase? Red,black and yellow go to a motor control, green is ground for a 3 wire pump. Have a picture of the pump's label? This is typical for the...

    Sonos Speakers

    Anyone have these wireless Sonos speakers? I heard Leo Laporte talk about them on his radio show today. They sound pretty like they are pretty awesome...and pricey! They basically are able to play music through your wireless internet. Amazon.com: Sonos: Electronics

    Re: AC Charger with BlueSea ACR hookup ? I modified a Blue Sea Diagram showing the different connection I am proposing in yellow. Instead of connecting the ACR to the battery terminals, connect to the switch as shown. You would charge your batteries with your 120VAC Dual charger with the...

    Bunk Setup

    Re: Bunk Setup You should think about side guides. Not the silly poles on the back either. Guides that extend from the stern to forward of the fender. That's what I have on mine.

    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...

    Marine Grease or Waterproof Grease

    Re: Marine Grease or Waterproof Grease You mean 400+ right? Add heat generated by disc brakes going down a steep grade and it will get much hotter. Personally, since the grease that is 500? is actually less money than the grease that is 400?, I would go for the 500? one. It is also Aluminum...
