    Die Hard Battery Goes to 73% after full charge a few days later, Is this normal?

    My battery is out of the boat and stored on a wooden shelf in my basement, every now and then I'll put a trickle charger on it to check, it seems to always drop down to 71-75% after I gave it a full charge a week prior. Water levels are good, the battery is a year old. Is this normal...

    Does the rear transom engine mount support most of the weight?

    One Stringer or Engine Block is slightly compromised Question

    I can pull it next year it's very easy of a job, because I had pulled the engine out 2 times already, it takes literally 30 minutes for me now. I really don't want to put anymore energy into this. Just want to know if I can support the cavity is all. That's my question and main concern for now...

    I can't add any more time to this project or I'll be in an insane asylum, trust me. 😂

    One Stringer or Engine Block is slightly compromised Question

    Yes, I thought they were stringers. Thanks for enlightening me. Can I fill one side with resin etc for now to support it. The other side is solid.

    One Stringer or Engine Block is slightly compromised Question

    Apparently I have been using the boat for two years unknowing of this. That's why I want to know if I can temporarily fill the cavity this year, and rebuild the stringer next year.

    One Stringer or Engine Block is slightly compromised Question

    The Stringer to the right by the transom, could that be an enclosed cavity.

    One Stringer or Engine Block is slightly compromised Question

    Is the stringer engine block cavity that's holding the wood a sealed cavity unto itself or will a resin or fill escape from it if I decide to do a Mcgiver job.

    One Stringer or Engine Block is slightly compromised Question

    I just noticed that a stringer/engine block seems to be compromised/rotted halfway about 8 inches or so in from the transom towards the bow in the engine cavity. Question - I pulled as much rotted decayed wood out and Is there a way I can fill the rotted cavity inside the stringer housing and...

    Chopstran is clumpy. Is this an issue when putting on the regular fiberglass?

    Can I paint the 1708 now, and if so what are the steps and type of paint I can use. I have Topside Paint by Rust-Oleum, will that be ok.

    I sanded out the clumps of the CSM today, came out nice. I then applied a layer of 1708 and it covered pretty good for an amateur. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    I should of wet it out with a mini Roller. I helped my neighbor with his project and the roller worked out way better than a brush. Way less clumps and shredding.

    You live and learn. For some reason I thought you do CSM first and then 1708. Where was my head at. Arghhhh. 🤬. CSM is really nasty to work with.. never again. Luckily is was able to smoothe it out. I'll do 1708 tomorrow and I'll be finished. The boat should be in the water by Thursday...

    Chopstran is clumpy. Is this an issue when putting on the regular fiberglass?

    Yeah I'll grind it out or sand it. I may have to cut out a piece thats really protruding outward., and patch it in. Then I'll use the 1708 carefully.

    Chopstran is clumpy. Is this an issue when putting on the regular fiberglass?

    Yes I'm doing the 1708 also. In what I have researched, you should do the CSM then the 1708. If i would have known that the CSM was a pain in the ass, I just woulda went with 1708. 🤬
