    Painting the inside of my boat?

    i have never had a problem with overlap. just don't bother trying to coat completely over the old paint. I would just focus the self etching over the bare allum so the topcoat has something to grab a hold of. the new paint will grab fine to the old paint.

    Painting the inside of my boat?

    Rustolmem pro grade from home depo or lows is great stuff. Cheap, easy to get and holds well. Just make sure to use self etching primer if you take it down to bare metal or even on spots where the old paint rubbed off.

    1963 evinrude seal replacement

    Does any one have a writeup on how to change the seals on an 1963 evinrude 18 hp gear case. I have to replace the cradle and shift fork so I figured I would replace all the seals as well since I have it apart. The service manual shows how it's done with the special tools but was trying to avoid...

    She thinks it is a winner!

    That's funny. I said the same thing to my wife. Me and my friend made sure that the front casting deck was a little longer than the original bench. And the front seat mount was flush so she could lay out. Made it much easier to find time to work on the boat after this was explained and shone to...

    everything steelflex

    I just did mine by myself. Mixed 8oz at a time. Worked out good. It was a total mess to pour out of the cans into the mixing cups. Spread really well with the bondo spreaders and had a lot more working time than expected. I don't want to do it again for a while though. Definitely watch if you...

    Boat seats and the 5mph rule?

    I have been wondering the same thing. I was thinking of using nutserts and bolting the seat mount to the floor. Then just unbolt it when I don't need it.

    What are you guys mixing your steelflex in?

    I am getting ready to put down some steelflex this weekend and was wondering what you guys were using to mix up your steelflex in. I was thinking of premesuring out about 4oz of each part to make it a little easer. Just not sure what to put it in to mix and pour.

    Boat Paint Question

    If it's not to late take back the zip strip and get a gallon of air craft remover. I tried to use zip strip and it did not do near as well as aircraft remover. Also grab a couple of stripping pads. These made life a lot easer.
