HoneyB Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I’ve been looking at different Shade Tree options. I decided to make my own While showing a little state pride. I honestly wanted to use a Americian flag but knew I would have to cut it to fit and That just didn’t feel right. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whichwaysup Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I polished my prop yesterday out of sheer boredom and anticipation of getting the boat back. I will probably hit it again, this time with a power buffer and see how bright I can get it, for no other reason than because it is a small way to fiddle with the boat. After that, a coating of sharkhide, and then will find something else to waste time on. Getting close to getting her back, but I suspect it will be longer than I expect because that is just the way this thing has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuddyBottomBluz Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Yes, that is one of the main reasons it was designed & manufactured, for trailers and pontoon boats to protect the bare aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice little tackle selection you've got there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously made in China so I hope they last. They were a direct replacement though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still going strong today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Jazzy Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Got tired of having dried blood and fish 'guts all over my boat when I return home. Everybody knows had difficult it is to clean up, so I installed a raw water wash down system. Since I do not use my side storage as a extra live well any more I had a place to mount it. No room the rigging with oil tank, pp pump, and jp pump. Fairly easy instal with the exception of having to buy some extra fittings because it is not norma to mount pump and hose in the same place. Mounted the supplied rocker switch/fuse panel on front of the console as to separate it from any other obstruction and ease od access. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverking Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Added rope tie downs to my boat cover yesterday. I was tired of having to wrangle with bungee cords that kept deteriorating in the sun each year. My prior boat had permanent rope attached to the tie down points and I found it more convenient to use than having to keep track of and use non attached systems. I used polyester rope for UV longevity and to provide resistance to mold and mildew. Project took about 45 minutes to cut, measure and assemble all of the ropes while the cover was on the boat. One of those non-exciting but necessary boat ownership projects. I also had to sew up and reinforce some of the attachment points that were starting to pull free. I have found 30lb Power Pro to work really well as replacement thread for patching up seams on boat covers and t-tops. I used it on my old boat cover and the threads held firm exposed to the sun for more than 3 years. The repair jobs were still going strong when I sold the boat.
