I need to re line a generator sound shield that I am putting in my boat. The original fiberglass is gone. I would like to use something that is long lasting and will not burn or absorb oil or diesel fuel. The housing has some curves and dimension so a ply able material may be best. I am open to...

Has anyone had to deal with a once opening center section windshield that has been caulked shut? Are they prone to leak or have other problems? It would be nice to get a flow of air through the pilot house. What kind of seal was used, and is it still available? This is on a 1968 TC. All the...

Just found this site and it sounds like there are some very knowledgeable people on here. I have looked through this site and boatdiesel, but I havent been able to find much info on the 16V's. I need some help on pro's and cons of a 2000 70C with 16V2000's. I am new to the larger boat world and...
