    Best hitch protector?

    Do the best you can with locks, you might add a stranded cable around the axle and thru the wheels, cables can be harder to cut thru and not noticeable but the wheel only goes around a time or two then breaks the wheel so they won't get to far. Then add some tags, one in the boat, one in the...

    Are these gelcoat blisters? Need general advice on repair.

    I would defiantly open each one up and be sure no water is trapped inside..remember that fiberglass itself is not waterproof, it is the gel coat that seals water out. I would want them dry then sealed before painting over them.

    I would want those areas totally sealed before putting any paint over them.

    Jerry-Buddy?

    I don't believe this was designed as a permanent install, just a quick use for a portable use or as a test tool when tank and fuel line issues arrise. I could see folks with a small motor and a car topper boat make use of these.

    Leaf Spring Shackle Question

    You posted before the hull was 1900 plus 50 gallon tank plus accessories you may be pushing the 4K limit....many recommend not exceeding 75% of capacity. Water soaked hull could be adding hundreds of lbs of weight.

    Went electric

    Funny how this went from small gas engines like weed waters to electric tools for home remodeling....can't say I ever used a weed water to remodel my home, or have I ever used a drill to trim my grass !! Guess each tool has its own advantages, so why compare the two ?? LOL......

    7.5 mercury comet/lightening setting 30 years

    Check for dry rotted fuel lines, probably best to just replace all of them !! Same for electrical wires and connections, check for dried out and cracked wires. Clean all electrical connections, change out the lower unit lube, no need to replace seals unless you find a leak. Water pump yes by...

    White chalky crap on sides of my 85 150 blakck max xr2?

    Vinegar often works well for removing mineral stains, be sure you get "cleaning" vinegar", or numerous mineral stain cleaners on the market. Give it a good wax job when done cleaning it.

    Which Guides: roller or White tube, for new LUND 1650 Angler SS?

    I prefer the longer side guides covered with carpet, they typically just U bolt clamp into trailer frame. The guide poles are mostly for decoration in my humble opinion...

    Batteries not charging

    Look around and see if you have an alternator/ starter rebuild shop in your area. They will know how to test it. Today's auto parts shop know very little unless you can find one with an old timer behind the counter. The minimum wage younguns have no idea.

    Gas - Oil Mixture on old Evinrudes outboards

    Big difference in using a 50 to one oil ratio and properly mixing oil at a 50 to one ratio !! Often folks do not mix properly !! Worked at a Marina in my younger days, scary how some folks mix their fuel, no wonder there are engine issues !!
