    Need your opinion on boat floor

    They " were" thoroughly encased in fiberglass.....fiberglass is not water proof, only the gel coat is, this is why drilling test holes is needed to test for wet wood. Start drilling as close to the bottom as possible, if dry wood chips come out, then seal that hole and try another. In my 60...

    Killing time

    When we moved out into the country, NY wife did not like the idea of shooting/ trapping the feral cats. We also have lots of cute bunnies.. One day we stumbled across a rabbit caught in a fence and watched two feral cats eating the rabbit alive. Not really eating it for food but just ripping...

    1982 Starcraft Questar 191 (Volvo Penta AQ140) - Battery voltage drops to 8V when starting, cables get hot

    No experience with your particular engine, but based in normal engine troubleshooting.....I would start with a battery test, showing 12.7 v does not mean battery can handle a load. Then have the starter tested, then be sure all connections and clean and tight. This is where I would start and...

    Left side lean?

    While this may sound dumb, I have saw it many times.....is the motor hanging off the transom correctly ? Have saw a few that hang at an angle, or the transom cutout was not parallel to the bottom if the hull, especially on glassers. Another issue could be a dent ( hook) in the hull causing a...
