    Yankee Girl is changing color

    Took me 6 + 4 Hours to get the old stripping off along with the adhesive left behind. And I have one side of the main color done in Red vinyl. Looks very good. The high gloss of the vinyl shows every ding, bump and mark on the aluminum fence but unless it's in your face it looks great. It would...

    Winch

    Well we pulled the toon yesterday and my winch strap snapped. Rotted from the Florida sun along with a couple other lines. Will be replacing it:eek: What is the general consensus on straps vs cables? I am thinking of using a cable this time but all my boats have had strapping on the winches...

    Pontoon trailer and tires

    I have an 18' toon and the trailer has these tiny wheels under the frame. I do not feel like its the type of trailer I would take on a long haul. I don't know what you call this type of trailer but wonder if there is anything I could do to put more rubber on the road. It's a continental trailer.

    Vinyl

    Has anyone put vinyl to cover their fence? I have the boat name on ours and have had trucks lettered in vinyl and it held up very well for years. I am thinking of using it to recolor the fencing and then a layer on top of the solid color for accents. Seems like it would be easier than repainting...

    Vhf / gps ?

    Our radio has found it's way to the round bin. Long story not important. But we need to replace it and have noticed this VHF/GPS combo for around $220.00. I wonder how well it works and if any of you might shed some light on the idea. I have never owned a marine gps. Only in a phone. So don't...

    Honda 40 alarm

    I get an alarm while underway at WOT and she stops when I let off back to idle. I had the water pump redone last year and it pees real well. I have my wrench coming over this week to have a look but I wonder if anyone has any input? He will check the water pump. If thats not it we will need to...

    Wirng a fuel guage on 40 hp honda OB

    I have ordered a new fuel tank with sending unit, and also ordered a fuel gauge which I don't have already. I'd like to power this from the ignition SW so it only comes on when the switch is on. All power to my fuse panel is hot as long as my batteries are on. I have looked at the wiring diagram...

    Aluminum gas tank leaks

    I have an aluminum tank under my rear sun deck that has a leak. After pressure testing I see it is at the top where a sending unit would be. This is just a cap screwed into the tank with a gasket. No sending unit is there. I cannot remove the screws they are stripped in the threads and just...

    modify height of stearing connection on Honda

    I have an issue I just can't seem to get a grip on. When I turn my 40 hp Honda full starboard the steering assembly hits the side of the boat. I've asked a dealer if there is any sort of adaptor and he said no. "Poorly designed boat" was his reply. Its a 99 18' Godfrey. I am going to look at it...

    Changing control cables

    How hard is it to change these cables? It wouldn't seem all that difficult but I'd like to know before I pull the boat again. I also need to figure out the length as it isn't marked on the cables. Honda 40 hp, 18' toon side console, Honda controlls. Should I get Honda parts or a universal. Do...

    looking for aluminum hinges

    I've been looking for offset (bent) one side piano type hinges for the tops of upholstered boxes on my boat. I can't seem to find them at a reasonable price. I need 2-14" and one 10". I wrote to iboats and haven't received any reply in days.

    Starting the sun deck.

    Well I puled the toon for the 6 month maintenance and have started the rear sun deck. I mentioned this before and there seemed to be some interest. Today I built 2 boxes for the side sections. One on each side of the motor housing. I will take some pictures tomorrow and will show progress as I...
