I'm only going to go in freshwater in this boat.
What size and how many magnesium anodes should I mount to my hull? I figured I'd put them under the water line on bare aluminum skin of the transum.
I only have one zinc on my motor and replace every couple years. I would only put one on and keep an eye. Unless you got a major issue or leave it in water near other boats that get shore power you shouldn't have an issue. Trailer queens like ours don't have the same risk.
I'm still tinkering with the electrical.
I've been keeping a lookout for a windshield with a swing door center section. My windshield made it difficult to get out to the bow. I picked this up today. This is it on another boat. By measuring things out, it looks like it's going to be a great replacement for mine.
Does anyone have a measurement for how high the stock windshield is perpendicular to the dash?
I'm looking like I'm going to be at 24 inches straight up from the dash at the middle.
I haven't gotten around to trying the color anywhere on the boat, but here's a couple more examples of how well it matches in different lightings.
It picks up the different hues.
I thought I had pics in here where I sanded, scrapped, and cleaned up the bottom and then primer. I hit a light spray coat with etching for the bare spots and then Sherwin Williams oil based primer.
Today I painted the bottom with the Sherwin Williams color match mix, and I'm real happy with the match.
Checked the paint this morning. Other than being shiny, great match.
I'm very happy with how the paint rolled on.
My wife doesn't like the color, but I like how it's so nostalgic - the popular colors for that generation.
I must have not sealed the holes that I made for the sacrificial nodes because I took in probably two or three gallons of water being out front 7am to 430pm.
I'm going dumb about 5 gallons of water inside and see if I can see where the leak is.
