Anyone know the best fix for a small crack in a polyethylene water tank? Dockside suggestions included Gorilla Glue, "Goop" with a layer of wetted fiberglass fabric, West System Epoxy again with wetted layer of glass and melting additional PE on to the cracked area. Additional suggestions...

We have tried using many types of electric heaters over the years and none have done the job, oil filled, ceramic etc etc. And this is when the reverse cycle heating system isn't enough. Not only do they not put out enough heat, due to the amps they draw we must be carefull what we use so as not...

I am looking to install 6v53ti's in a 32' sportfisherman. I am a little concerned about engine clearance. I presently have the 300 hp 6v53t's. Anyone out there have these engines in there 32'. Any help would be appreciated.

i posted this in my post on Eliott key weekend but figured the tech part would be better separate : after firing up the stbd engine this morning and after the port wouldn't crank I notice that one of the battery terminal on the port side was melted and the wire is disconnected. I figured that...

Way off (Hatt) topic, I have a ctr console I'm prepping for sale and found water in the lower unit oil of one. They're older Yamaha 200hp and a pressure test with my little mightvac found air rushing out below the water pump (upper seal area!) There also appears to be some milky fluid behind the...

Hey folks...I almost hate to start this thread after reading all the fun that was had down in Miami...great posts! Second thought, maybe this is timely with Pascal’s engine compartment excitement….glad that didn’t turn out any worse! Topic: Has anyone used “Fire Foe" extinguisher system in...

I know alot about maintaining these boats, but as a lifetime fresh water boater I know nothing about corrosion, barnacles, tides and god knows what else. I am preparing our '86 36C ,"Unity", for a move from Detroit to Miami. I coated everything with BoShield T9. I did all the copper tubing, all the...

I'm looking at a 46 hatt that was repowered with 692 500hp. which were just rebuilt. My question is will the 692 hold up long before doing rebuilds in an older 46 hatt. Would I be better off buying a 46 with 871ti that needs alot of work like paint etc. The 46 with the 692 looks great in the...
