    Square grouper and stuff

    Haven't over here on the Gulf side but I would guess the with the current flowing the way it does(Gulf Stream) and the proximity of Cuba, Dominican Republic and others that the south FL area would be more likely to have that happen. Just my opinion

    Engine won’t turn over

    Typically, if you get some movement but not a full rotation I would think you should be looking at connecting rods or a valve that has broken(or valve spring)

    Scotch Guard on Sunbrella

    belt squeal / chirping noise

    2006 Yamaha LF250TXR 4 stroke. My 250 Yamaha has developed a chirping noise, if this was my Larson I would know that it was the power steering belt but the Yamaha has no belt s except for the timing belt. This is my first outboard boat so I don't really have a clue. Anyone have this issue before?

    Which New Boat

    Depends on the depth of the water you like to fish and what else you plan to do with it, I would think that "toons" would work fine for the rivers but it's what you like not what I think

Make sure your project is level and the temp is warm enough to let it flow and keep a heat gun handy. Here's the last one I did with epoxy not very big but the...
