That's a fair price for a Yamaha motor and a boat in good condition.

With that kit, you remove everything and mount the kit to the cross-members directly. If using existing hardware, you normally remove the roller arms and attach the bunks on top of the two brackets on each side. They cannot tilt once the bunks are attached. You want them solid. This is how...

We live in an area that loses power from time to time, sometimes for long periods. I've learned that fuel-efficient generators are the way to go, over power. I have two Generac 4000XL machines with a peak of 6400 watts. They run all the essential things in the house. They will NOT run the...

That was a bit to pay for the welder, but the product looks worth it. I rent my gas bottles. $100/year and whatever gas costs. No need for a dedicated regulator. Gas doesn't leave any residue in the regulator. Wait... Did you say Tungstens? That is a TIG welder? In that case...

Good to see Dangar Stu again! He and I used to talk regularly. He came here to the US right as a hurricane hit, so we didn't get to meet in person. Really nice guy and he gave out some very good boat and engine knowledge. He's gotten away from making so many videos, but Dangar Marine has...

Also, depending on your boat, I typically like to use longer bunks and have THREE brackets per bunk. Or, I will add a second pair of bunks close together in the center to catch the keel of the boat. Bunks are kind of fun to play with. I love it when a trailer really fits a boat like a...

This is an easy kit to swap to bunks. It's pretty easy to do: https://www.amazon.com/Racewill-Boat-Trailer-Bunk-Brackets/dp/B0CT5L9MKF Sometimes, you can attach the bunks to the roller supports, but I can't see your system. Swapping to the above kit is inexpensive and works well. When you...

I've had two boats with wood slats as flooring. I didn't want to like them, but to be truthful, they were fine. One of them had pretty large gaps between the slats, and sometimes I'd drop something and it would go down there, so eventually, I put carpet over it. Worked well. Overall, the...

When I have a skin with a numbr of corrosion holes, I will sometimes drill them out and put solid rivets in them. It works...

I agree, probably air trapped in the system, combined with old gas. I had a motor that if it sat a long time you had to squeeze the bulb, then crank for a bit, then squeeze the bulb again and then it was fine. Had an air leak in there somewhere, but that engine ran like clockwork...

Good to know. Sorry, I missed that. It was hard to tell how big/small they are, but they look like they work the same. Pinch down and slide the retainer clip back to hold it in place. Now, most of them are either plastic or complicated-looking

I have used a plastic welder with success. You cut a piece of the stainless reinforcement screen to the right shape and size and use the heat to imbed it into the plastic, and then add more plastic as needed. The trick is using the RIGHT type of plastic to do the repair. The wrong stuff...

Hose clamp. To work on something without the fuel/coolant/whatever from coming out.

You don't need a spool gun unless you are building a whole boat or doing a lot of it. Look up some youtube videos, but all you REALLY need is argon and you must oversize your tip so the wire doesn't bind, and try to keep the lead as straight as possible, with no hard bends that could bind the...

Buck any you don't like and replace any that have discoloration around them. That discoloration is often corrosion that has crept underneath the heads.

All you need is a MIG welder and a bottle of Argon. Watch a few YouTube videos and give it a shot. It's what I did, and now I'm pretty comfortable welding aluminum

Yes, you are right about that. He's doing okay.

Garmin GPSmap series will cast to your iPad. They are expensive, though

Good to know! I would seal it just like regular wood if I used it. The new PT lumbers aren't very rot resistant, unfortunately, so it might not be worth it.

Get your stuff and don't look back!
