Epoxy is also a little more flexible too. General debatable rule is epoxy sticks to everything and poly dont. If your prep is perfect poly will stick to epoxy. Also same with gel coat. It dont stick to epoxy well. With my build I had to do some stuff with epoxy due to prior repairs in the engine...

For your keyhole if you have material..... either thick wood or steel plate.... make something that sandwiches keyhole like 2 big washers. Use like 4 or so pieces of allthread. As long as whatever you use dont flex. Also when I did my transom I mixed in a little 1/4 chopped glass to give the...

Determine everything downstream of the fuse and unplug/disconnect every device. New fuse. Wiggle n jiggle all the wires, if fuse blows u got a wiring issue. If not add each device until fuse pops. Replace device that popped fuse.

If all your problems started after a change.... Revert back to known working condition..... Just temp, not undoing work. See if problem persists. If it goes away try to figure out what's wrong with your bat install. If it is still there, fix problem then work foward again

Just so you are aware.... Epoxy resin does not accept gel coat well. If you use epoxy you will have to cover with paint. If you want to gel coat you need polyester resin. With epoxy you have to buy the right hardener for the cure time you want. With poly you adjust kick time with amount of...

In todays age a battery operated 4" grinder is a "master key" so locks and cables will slow and deter some..... I would also look into hiding one of those apple tag things also so you would have a chance of recovery

I am going to assume you have no supplies like respirator, fin roller, glasses, and all the other tools/things you will need besides materials. Read the stickies and watch some how to vids. See what things you need to buy and price them out first. Initial costs could get pricey in todays...

Before trying to glass upside down on your boat I would do a couple training pieces. That alone will eat over a quart.

Neutral start switch? Put a meter on them in continuity and shift from fed to n to rev and see if it changes

Sorry "nav" gets power to both sides and "anchor" gets it to one side

For the on/off/on switch (6 terminal) if I remember right..... Think of it as 2 switches working together. Use the middle terminal for "light output" for each light.Then power in goes to both sides of "anchor light output" side so in either position power is fed to center term. Then on the...

When I did the foam I just did the wire thing kinda slow so it mixed well but didnt splash. I chuck it up in a drill then cover the chuck with tape to keep it clean. My foam mixed well and cured fine.

What I use for mixing.... 1/8" round stock with a 90 bend at the end. For resin I would let it build up a bit and beat it with a hammer when needing cleaning. For foam I think I just scraped it off with a knife

Fyi... Plywood grades ab or c each side a being the best. And x designates exterior "waterproof glue" So acx will have a good finish side, a crap side and waterproof glue. Bcx ok finish side, crap side and waterproof glue. I dont think they make abx. My marine grade was almost identical on each...

So for what it's worth I tied power and memory together and didnt care about presets. Batteries are shut off unless I am in boat. I never loose presets or bluetooth settings for connecting for my phone. On my unit I think it just powers the clock?????. Didnt care, never checked

Here is the kinda bad news. If the bag is wet its holding water against the aluminum tank. That will cause pitting and eventually start leaking gas

I know on my transducer it says not to power it in open air or damage can result. Must be submerged in water
