Yes, it could, and will (especially if used in saltwater!), if not properly isolated, but the hull I added this to was fiberglass, not tin ... Simple isloation for anything SS to tin can be accomplished by layers of duct tape, heatshrink on bolt/fasteners bodies, or nylon washers, just for...

FWIW I just replaced the transom wood in a sweet FRP hull and needed to replace the tin trim cap as I went with a thicker layup transom. I just ordered a 5' long length of 1/8" thick wall 6061 channel, with a looooong 1-3/4" tall 'leg' on each side, to allow me to securely bolt it to the new...

Without knowing that model specifically, then I'd say most definitely "YES" the center seat serves to keep the sides of the boat from flexing out and 'oil canning' as the bow hits seas. Boats you see with a split center seat use the integrated floor as the structural member to add strength back...

Yes, the straight tube end needs to be cut to length. To allow for the bend radius I leave them about 1/4" longer as they stick through the hull. At only $11 now, those flaring tools can't be beat! I remember when they were really expensive, or very few Dealers had them and would NOT loan or...

Damn ... you got LUCKY for sure, go buy a Lottery ticket! When I went to replace both the OUTside and INside skins on my Star Craft transome replacement - versus rebuild - NO tin knocker around here would even touch it! My neighbors heard me clanging away for days, annealing the alloy with gas...

Many companies like Sika, but even companies other than those selling boat products, make both 1-part and 2-part polysulfide-based (think 3M 5200) in gray or grey color. To me it looks like they used something like this …

FYI, I use mine hooked up to an old dedicated Google ‘tablet’ and it works slick! Here are some bore pictures. TIP - To improve mid-bore photos, drop or stuff a cotton ball down the barrel ahead of the b’scope so it reflects the light. A brush on a cleaning rod will snag it to get it out, on...

Coat over them ,,, but use West Systems G-Flex 650 ... it's cheaper and flexible! Note ANY epoxy product - if exposed to the sun - must be over-coated with paint, as UV kills uncovered epoxies.

Still sound ... I sold it, but keep in touch with the new owner.

Sorry if I am late to the party, but see here ... https://www.tinboats.net/threads/weeping-water-leak-due-to-corrosion-under-carpeted-bunks.41347/

Well ...this is a 2-year old post now ...

Epoxies need to be over-coated to shield it from UV rays ... not sure if the choice is lacquer or enamel as much as it is CLEAR vs COLORED. When I had a large offshore boat with many, many pieces of brightly finished teak brightwork, I epoxied them and then varnished over them with 4 to 6...

Best to contact the steering cable & helm maker ... but how are you measuring that? They are gear driven, so yes there will be some 'slop' when switching directions ...

FWIW I used the CarbonCore when I poured my transom many years ago, It was heads & tails a superior product over Seacast. Details are in my Signature post of the 16' StarCraft.

Looks like an old Sears … just remember, they didn’t build them …

Yeah, yeah, i know all about Led Zepplie, LOL ... but you're forgetting about the OTHER hydrogen mix gases generated ... Hydrogen sulfide being just one, it is heavier than air, highly toxic, and extremely flammable. Whatever, people are free to do what they want.

A friend just went through this, expressly for frigid Northern New England Winters, and while the chargers are capable of low temps there are cautions about the battery chemistry itself at low temps to freezing or below. He even called the 'Genius' battery charger maker and they said, "Yes, the...

OMC/Bombardier HPF Pro. This is the only LU gear oil recommended by Evinrude. The special formulation allows for a percentage of water intrusion to be be emulsified into the oil without damaging the internal gears and bearings, and to withstand the 300 hour service interval. Consider that a...

More, found this: “Starcraft was manufacturer of Sea King aluminum boats and OMC made the SeaKing outboards for Montgomery Ward.”

The problem is that Sears or Montgomery Ward or other ‘name brand retail stores’ did NOT makes the boats, where it was probably Elgin or some other company. Go to the link below and look up Elgin, but note they are listed under the fiberglass manufacturers, as they made both types of boats. In...
