    Numbers and Registration

    I've always used a board made out cutting board like plastic. Put the numbers and stickers on without any glue without any issues with them falling off. Last year I glued my stickers onto my PVC boat and that has worked too.

    Plugs on the top of the cyl head what are they for?

    97 30 hp serial 0G465407 I used the top plug to mount a cyl head temp gauge sending and that worked out perfectly but I'm a little concerned about what I don't know about that plug. How far should the plug be turned in? I eye balled how far out it was and put it back to what looked liked the...

    6hp, 8hp or 9.9hp for my 12ft SIB?

    I would jump on the 20 and at the same time Bass Pro is mounting your motor see if a small trolling motor will fit too. I can fit a trolling motor on my 14 footer even with a remote control steering arm on the same side. You can see the trolling motor in the pic.

    Another Zodiac came apart

    If a transom is needed to be repaired where two different materials need to be glued,like PVC and wood, a good glue for that is G/Flex.At least that's what G/FLEX and NRS says so I would trust that it is. I haven't had to do a transom but I did use it on some crappy china made d-rings and it...

    1993 70 hp need a part identified

    The sleave that the ball on this part sits in is broken. Can someone tell me the name of it,maybe a part number and where I can buy it? Can I just get the sleave or does it come with the part with the ball on it? I have not been able to find anything at the places I usually buy my parts which...

    Fuel filter before or after fuel pump

    93 Johnson 70 hp 3 cyl. Previous owners employee couldn't start it,thought it might be the fuel filter so took it out. He also didn't use any water but thankfully it never started for him. I watched a YouTube video on cleaning and rebuilding the carbs on this motor and he said put a filter after...

    Registration stickers. There has to be a better way!

    There are thick plastic bag like things that are inexpensive and they seal to make them waterproof. I use them for my papers then I put that in another bigger waterproof bag that connects to patches I glued to my tubes. I have two of the bags,one on each tube. I keep all the little things in...

    Lets talk adhesives and anything related to adhesives.

    Thanks yeah I have a can of that but won't get around to using it for a little while. Right now all my time is being used up getting my other boat ready for the water which I expect to happen sometime next week. One of the items I was gluing onto the boat last year was Rail Blaza mounting pads...

    Lets talk adhesives and anything related to adhesives.

    I think if you own an inflatable sooner or later your going to need to do some gluing wether it be patches, d-rings or numerous other things. I did a lot of gluing last year and had to do a lot of research to find the information I needed to do a proper job before I started. I hope this thread...

    Registration stickers. There has to be a better way!

    HH-66 is suppose to be good stuff. I know it works really well on vinyl and PVC. I picked up a can of it recently for adding d-rings.

    What did you do to or with your Inflatable Boat / SIB today?

    The only thing I've been doing with mine is cleaning,treating and starting once a month to run fresh gas into it. Sometime this summer I will get to my motor,30hp Mercury 2 stroke,and fix a gear problem. Last year when I took off the cover I caught it on the gear shifter and put it half way into...

    Is Zodiac Futura too big for rocky 2 person launch? Other suggestions?

    Welcome to the forum! There's a few parts to your question but I'm just going to answer one. Your going to have to have a trailer and use the boat ramp to pull the boat out of the water every time you use it. Your going to be in salt water which means after every use you have to flush your motor...

    Steering stiff

    Last summer I picked up a new 93 Scout boat with a new 93 Johnson 70hp on it. The owner used it two times,parked it and never used it again. The steering was froze up so my first thought was new steering system. I greased all the spots on the motor then got as much of the old grease off of the...
