    Vinyl

    Has anyone put vinyl to cover their fence? I have the boat name on ours and have had trucks lettered in vinyl and it held up very well for years. I am thinking of using it to recolor the fencing and then a layer on top of the solid color for accents. Seems like it would be easier than repainting...

    Vhf / gps ?

    Our radio has found it's way to the round bin. Long story not important. But we need to replace it and have noticed this VHF/GPS combo for around $220.00. I wonder how well it works and if any of you might shed some light on the idea. I have never owned a marine gps. Only in a phone. So don't...

    Honda 40 alarm

    I get an alarm while underway at WOT and she stops when I let off back to idle. I had the water pump redone last year and it pees real well. I have my wrench coming over this week to have a look but I wonder if anyone has any input? He will check the water pump. If thats not it we will need to...

    Wirng a fuel guage on 40 hp honda OB

    I have ordered a new fuel tank with sending unit, and also ordered a fuel gauge which I don't have already. I'd like to power this from the ignition SW so it only comes on when the switch is on. All power to my fuse panel is hot as long as my batteries are on. I have looked at the wiring diagram...

    Aluminum gas tank leaks

    I have an aluminum tank under my rear sun deck that has a leak. After pressure testing I see it is at the top where a sending unit would be. This is just a cap screwed into the tank with a gasket. No sending unit is there. I cannot remove the screws they are stripped in the threads and just...

    modify height of stearing connection on Honda

    I have an issue I just can't seem to get a grip on. When I turn my 40 hp Honda full starboard the steering assembly hits the side of the boat. I've asked a dealer if there is any sort of adaptor and he said no. "Poorly designed boat" was his reply. Its a 99 18' Godfrey. I am going to look at it...

    Changing control cables

    How hard is it to change these cables? It wouldn't seem all that difficult but I'd like to know before I pull the boat again. I also need to figure out the length as it isn't marked on the cables. Honda 40 hp, 18' toon side console, Honda controlls. Should I get Honda parts or a universal. Do...

    looking for aluminum hinges

    I've been looking for offset (bent) one side piano type hinges for the tops of upholstered boxes on my boat. I can't seem to find them at a reasonable price. I need 2-14" and one 10". I wrote to iboats and haven't received any reply in days.

    Starting the sun deck.

    Well I puled the toon for the 6 month maintenance and have started the rear sun deck. I mentioned this before and there seemed to be some interest. Today I built 2 boxes for the side sections. One on each side of the motor housing. I will take some pictures tomorrow and will show progress as I...

    I replaced the straps on my Bimini a month or so ago and already the snap clip has broken. Walmart crap. Atwood brand. Who makes a good strap with good adjusters and clips?

    Aluminum Noise

    I think I read here at some point about noises from the motor mount (transom). Whenever I raise my OB fully tilted it kinda bangs and when I lower it the same thing. I checked the mountings and all seems fine. Is this normal? I figure it's just the aluminum flexing. But want to be sure. Thanks

    Pulled her out for some work ? on pumps for live well.

    I have Yankee Girl back in the driveway for some work to be done and I want to replace the bilge pump used for the live well. I looked here for a replacement but my discharge says 5/8 on the male end that connects to the hose. Will I need some sort of adapter or are there 5/8" discharge pumps. I...

    UPDATE! What to put on a transducer left in water?

    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can coat my transducer with to keep the crap off? I have my boat left at a slip and the bottom paint works great but my transducer is always covered with you know what. I know I can't paint it or can I? What can I put on it to keep it cleaner? I'm pulling...

    Clening a fuel tank

    After doing a search here and not finding what I want I will post a new thread on this. I have a 12 gallon tank that has some crap in it from age I guess. I have a fuel separator in line along with the normal Honda fuel filter. These seem to take care of the issue but I'd like to eliminate the...

    Some pics of the toon

    I finally took some pictures of the new toon. Some were taken with the ziplock bag on the camera while I was in the water so they are a bit cloudy.

    Adding a Sundeck

    My toon has a raised motor section, and the ends are lower. One side for fuel and the other for battery. I plan on adding two cabinets to raise the end sections and a sundeck to cover the whole thing. It will give me more storage at the same time. Any concerns? One concern I have is the added...
