    Rub rail insert

    There are plenty of videos out there describing the job. You can do it if you do your research. Replacing the entire rub rail and mounting system can be done. As Chris said heat gun or soaking the rubber in hot water before installing will help greatly. Good luck. Keep us posted.

    Replacing the seals on my power steering control valve. I noticed the ball stud is held stationary by the long steering tube. It is a bit scratched. I was able to clean it up an polish it with Emory paper and fine sandpaper. It moves when assembled but it’s a bit tight. Does this ball stud need...

    Using poly resin without glass

    Agree with capri…. 2 coats. Depending on type of wood you are using it’s gonna soak in pretty good. I did light sanding and acetone in between coats. I coated all wood when doing my seat rebuilding. I wanted to be sure the wood would last underneath the seat cushions.

    Update 10-15 cleaned up and painted Y pipe. resurfaced the mating area. It was a bit rough. Happy with how it turned out. Did a dry test fit with the outdrive on the transom. Hole alignment was close. Not spot on. Had to do some over sizing of the holes. Sorry no pics.

    Trim cylinder hose replacement

    If you haven’t reinstalled the cylinders I’d replace the seals. seal kits are cheap and the job is relatively easy. If you had water in there from the start its gonna be in there int the future. good luck.
