    Leak repair - Gluvit, 3M5200, G/Flex 650

    I've found that the best way of removing several layers is to liberally apply a coat of paint stripper which consists of methylene chloride, then immediately cover it with a thin plastic sheet, like gladwrap. This stops the evaporation of the chemical. Do it in sections. A messy job indeed!

    Got my first boat! Could use advice on corrosion repairs.

    If you go to www.caswellplating.com and search for casweld, you'll find a number of brazing sticks that are easy to work with, without expensive equipment. Also there, Quik Aluminum epoxy sticks, and a really good epoxy coating 'Gas Tank Sealer'. Also on the www.mud-skipper.com web page is a...

    Boating Etiquette

    I live on the Erie Canal and see it all. Day boats are bad as are these darned noisy jet ski boats. There a speed limit that many completely ignore, and many 'no wake' areas. The latter is a real problem as many boaters traveling in opposite directions do not slow down. We have several rowing...

    Best fishing poles.

    I guess long prison sentences don't deter. If they are juveniles they don't get ANY punishment, so keep doing it. It's a huge joke! I'm a victim of my Jag being hijacked by 13 year olds, $10,000 worth of damage and even if I got a judgment against them, they'd cap it so the parents would only...

    Pin hole repairs

    Try this! Gas Tank Sealer. If you can get to the underside, cover it with blue masking tape to stop the resin from running through, then simply brush on a couple of coats, leaving a couple of hours between them. This is some really tough stuff and particularly resistant to fuel. Sorry for the...

    Filling old drill holes?

    I used to sell Belzona epoxy products. They had numerous 'metals' and they were filled with ceramics, or steel. The steel ones were very machinable and could be used on worn shafts etc. and then turned on a lathe, so the metal in them was for a purpose rather than looks. Many epoxies use a...

    Filling old drill holes?

    Not really. The material comes in a Tootsie roll formation. The stick of it has a central core which is the hardener. Just slice off a piece and then roll it around until the color is even. The difference I see is that this material is thicker, and therefore better for filling holes, it won't...

    Thread type

    If you have a micrometer/accurate measuring device, measure the OD of the tube, and then count how many threads there are in one inch. I'm not sure what threads would be on a Johnson, but it's likely made in USA so that would narrow it down. There are lots of thread charts on line.

    Need to look inside an engine, down a drain or whatever? Endoscope for $11- not a trick!

    It would be ok if you did the endoscopy first.

    Does anyone know what these are

    I'm pretty sure they are the transom mounts for a small engine, and they allow for a different pitch to the engine, which has a horizontal bar. You can see a similar setup on this old British Seagull engine -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BritishSeagull2.JPG
