    Non-skid for aluminum floors

    Sounds like you’re talking about 1/4” utility mats. Typically come in rolls of various widths The stall mats in the barn are 4’ x 6’ x 3/4” thick and weigh some ungodly amount.

    Hull cleaning

    Hard to say. It’s an acid. The solution increases in strength as the water evaporates. Allowing it to dry on a surface is just asking for problems.

    Hull cleaning

    If it’s chalking, you’re not diluted it enough and/or you’re leaving it on the surface too long. I water it down to 4% solution. Wet the trailer down before application to prevent staining the trailer Hose the trailer down first to protect the finish, then apply the cleaner with a garden...

    98 MASTERCRAFT SAM DUVALL EDITION- 2 CANISTER FUEL FILTERS?

    Injectors typically require 10 micron filtration or better. Your typical “boat” filter is 30-40 microns. Need a second filter to reduce particulate down to 10 microns Clean filters cause very little flow restriction

    Gasket (cork?) should be installed dry. Run a tap through the messed up hole to clean up the threads. Install bolt with fuel resistant sealant

    Contour maps?

    Some units come with maps, some don’t. If the unit(s) didn’t come with maps you need to buy the appropriate chip. I believe Humminbird supports c-map. The lowrance could be c-map or Navionics

    Hull cleaning

    It’s the price of admission to play/fish in one of the most hostile environments on the planet. It’s hard to understand until you witness a White Marlin tail walking behind the boat or hear the drag of a Penn 50 screaming under the pressure of a sounding #150 tuna on the end of the line. Then...

    Hull cleaning

    I’m waxing have a 22’ Walkaround. It takes me a good 8-10 hours to compound, clean and apply the first coat of wax. Wait a week, then another 2-3 hours to apply the second coat. Collinite 885 is wet on wet application which requires application and removal by hand. A lot of work, but it only...

    Hull cleaning

    Get heavy tannin in the water in the Spring. The boat is tea colored by the beginning of May. Tried all the usual boat waxes. A month or so at best. A good friend turned me on to Collinite 885. Get the better part of a season out of it. It's labor intensive to apply but nothing beats the...

    '96 Evinrude 200 wouldn't rev past 4k RPM

    I wouldn't trust that at all. An under voltage condition will cause miss-fires. Put a good voltmeter on the battery terminals with the boat running. . Should get close to 14 volts while running. 12.7V with the boat runnng Yes…. The problem with using ohms to determine the condition of a coil...

    '96 Evinrude 200 wouldn't rev past 4k RPM

    Not getting up to speed sounds like a dropped cylinder. The tach bouncing around sounds like your losing a voltage regulator. Have you checked the voltage while running? Have yet to have a bad coil not pass the ohms test. I replace at the first signs of any cracks in the case as PM

    Guessing you worked with 6061-T6 since 5052 is not heat treatable. The 5052 equivalent would 5052-H32

    Fish finder/bottom map

    Nothing to do with “old” technology, it’s marketing. They “dumb down” and/or package recreational units to hit price points. Commercial units buy you a better build quality and the ability mix and match components to suit specific applications. Bear in mind that the real magic is in...
