People used to use it to clean silverware (real silver silverware). Funny. I use gooey scented stuff on my spoons. Every so often I bring them in for a wash. Yesterday I was literally looking at the dish soap wondering if it would leave some residue the fish wouldn't like. Baking soda is...

"I’d look to be able to adjust within this range and select the appropriate hole location. Testing is the only true way to find out which your prefers." This is such a good idea!

Is the boat used in fresh water? Reason I ask is if so, the exposure to galvanic corrosion would be significantly reduced. Still, use aluminum instead of iron angle.

Same with mine -- also a Power Drive. It is not networked with the HB Helix. I don't use it a lot but have been impressed with the spot lock. I realize I'm behind the newest tech with these things. Haha.

Glad you circled back to share the results. That was a pretty impressive (and encouraging) patch you made.

Sounds like you have a nice rig to me. To answer your question, to me it does seem reasonable. Especially since you need to replace the transom wood anyway. The rule of thumb is for the cav plate to be even with the bottom of the hull, so I agree you have room to move it up. I would...

If you are using one of the acid wash products to clean the aluminum as a first step, the baking soda would be an excellent neutralizer. Seems it would polish because it is gritty, but honestly I have no idea how well it might work for that.

Beyond galvanic corrosion the other reason I would avoid using angle iron is simply that it will rust. Sure it can be protected, but it isn't worth it when there is a better option.

I still manage to learn something new, like what a stall converter does. I always wondered how they did that .

Whether you use angle or channel, I would want to make sure the exposed edge of the new ply is covered. I kind of like the idea of channel covering the whole thing, but suspect finding a stock size that would fit will be a problem. I'm like @FuzzyGrub . The transom wood going all the way...

Awesome!

Doing a whole lot of nothing and it is driving me crazy. I got hit with a hard case of sciatica. I'm basically sidelined. I can't wait to get back on my feet! OK -- that is enough whining. :)

Welcome to TinBoats. I don't have a tiller boat but will chime in. If nothing else it might bump this a little. They make rail mounts, but I'm pretty sure you mean something that will mount on the round gunnel of your boat. Here are some things that come to mind. They make some clamp-on...

I didn't notice that about the tail fin until you mentioned it. Something must have moved when they took the pic. Of course, we took more than one, haha. Here is a better pic.

Those days make it all worthwhile! And if you catch fish that is a bonus! That pic with the trees reflecting in the water is awesome. I've never caught a walleye. We don't have those out here.

Yeah, that is frustrating as heck. That North River needs to get back in the water!
