uggg. Another forum to sign up for. I'm gonna lose track of all the forum username/passwords i have. I'll check anyway Plus, living in Door County i'm betting SOMEONE has the part i'm looking for. If i can't find it at the aomci.org forums i'll find it somewhere.

What you describe will not be a problem. I was more worried about water getting into parts that are normally covered by the cowling.

Can i run this motor without a cowling? Any idea where to find a replacement, or is it possible to make my own cover?

What? Yes, i put 2 coats of DupliColor brand aerosol truck bed coating on the floor of my boat. It looked good, felt great, and sealed up the boat. Got a motor put on, and some gas got onto the floor of the boat, suddenly the truck bed coating smeared wherever the gas got onto the coating...

I was recommended "Coat-It" by Goop company and had great results with it, its a 2 part just like gluvit but its only around 25 dollars.

Thanks, the Coat It is carried by a local place and i think i'll try that.

Hanr3 I have read MANY MANY threads on rebuilding/modifying boats, I rarely find one where they actually explain in detail how they did it. Most of them are like "I made a frame support out of 2x4s attached the plywood and glued on some carpet". There is rarely an explaination. How is the...

JMichael Thanks, thats what i wanted to know, i saw a post about using a certain kind of adhesive sealant, but i could not find it again or remember the name. Does the sealant come off fairly easy if i ever have to replace again? atuck593 So you are saying that the 1 quart can of Gluvit would...

I know not to use PT wood because it reacts with aluminum. I know to use stainless screws/bolts I know to use Spar Urethane or (i forget the other one) for coating the wood. I know to drill the transom holes a tad bigger and coat the inside of the holes with varnish. I want to start off small...
