    Some questions about windshield and seat post

    only way to check for rot is to make test drills into the stringers and transom. SeaRay used wood for the stringers and decks until the 2001/2002 model year change on the hulls for the 2002/2003 models. they used wood for the transom for a while after that. willing to bet on your 1989 boat...

    Solar Panels for Trolling Motor

    gennys are not hard to understand...... its one box you put fuel in and it turns hooked up to another box you turn and electrons come out, all wrapped in a pretty box to sell to the customer.....

    980 hours on engines - compression test

    while you have the heads off prior to sending for a valve job, use a die grinder and an assortment of tootsie rolls and rol-loc discs to smooth out the combustion chambers (just remove the casting flash). open up the bowls a bit and blend the valve guides.

    1988 Rogue 2420

    it was the merlin heads I bought used when I built the motor. they were on a poker run boat for one to two seasons. I was trying to keep the budget low.... the block came from a 1998 3500 tire delivery truck that had over 300,000 miles. I knew the heads were used in salt, even with the best...

    Correct ventilation in engine compartment of runabout

    there is more than just the area that you are thinking. you would have to work at making your furniture air tight. your bilge blower vent wont be enough for a motor, however the engine will get enough air everywhere else (like under the dash and along the gunwale, etc.

    3 ugga-duggas on the chordless impact.... seriously, the pan should be 12 ft-lb on an SBC oil pan. nothing special about marine or not, it is still a GM SBC

    Correct ventilation in engine compartment of runabout

    unless you spend lots of time trying to seal off the bilge, it will pull air from the gunwales no mater what you put in front of them.

    1988 Rogue 2420

    this is what you get when you use used heads previously run in salt water and you try to add a screen to keep the HX from fouling. this is from one 4 hour run. the heads were chemically cleaned with oxalic acid, mechanically cleaned with a section of steel cable and a drill motor and then...

    Some questions about windshield and seat post

    the windshield doesnt mate up because either the stringers are probably rotten and the deck is starting to sag or the window frame was bent. the fact that you bought a 31 year old boat from a salvage yard, dont expect anything less than a full-on restoratoin project. the seat base probably...
