    But wait .... Your link takes me to what I want. http://boatspecs.iboats.com/ which has Sylvan. The link at the bottom of my Home page takes me here https://forums.iboats.com/Boats/ which is a smaller list and doesn't have Sylvan. I'm missing something here, thanks .

    Johnson OB cables - SOURCE

    Moving along with the 1989 Lowe 1600 project. This boat has a Johnson 40 with an added CMC TT unit. When the CMC was added, the control cables were evidently used from a longer boat, as the 3 had a "loop" in them :confused:. Of course, the steering cable failed. So I'm considering using the TT...

    Hi Ted, thanks. I expect a reply from them today maybe when back to business. I like your pages, nice articles and documented procedures ! Great job there. I saw this (attached) pic regarding your additional flotation. I've often wondered about encapsulating blocks of expanded polystyrene in a...

    Signs of bad pour foam

    The temp. in the shade was right at 80 all day. Boat is under a white canopy in the shade. Everything was in the same locale and was at ambient temps. I've mixed and poured quart batches before and never saw anything like what this stuff did. Thanks

    Signs of bad pour foam

    At 80 - 85 degrees, what size batches would you recommend ? I did got to 1 pint each with not so good results. Less than that, perhaps ? Maybe just a batch of bad stuff .. Thanks

    Signs of bad pour foam

    I saw nothing that indicated that they were not reputable. Looks like a big supplier. Just used their ebay outlet for ease of payment/shipping. Do you recognize these folks ? Maybe a fly by night outfit ? Thanks Scott. https://fiberglasswarehouse.com/collections/core-materials-and-foam

    Signs of bad pour foam

    Hi, just poured some foam. 2 lb, 2 gal kit. was to be about 8 cu ft. Only expanded to about 4>5 cu ft. Mixed 1 pint of each at a time, 80 degrees B into A as instructed. It set off in under 15 seconds and blew very large bubbles. A broken off piece reveals no closed cells, all just a web of...

    Foam on Aluminum corrosion

    I dug all the foam out of the 1989 Lowe aluminum boat. It was poured right against the hull and inner partitions. Looks like the foam caused some corrosion, actually a few small pinhole size pits that go completely through the hull. Only a few, so I'll plug those. Ever seen foam do this ...
