    Poor mans boat cover - with pics this time

    Money is tight this year so I had to go cheap in covering the boat. (Pics attached) At first the water pooled, so I put the buckets under the ladder to raise the tarp and now it's working fine. What do you think?

    Decking thickness question

    I'm replacing the deck on a 1989 V-17 BASS TRACKER and my son in law ripped out the decking and got rid of it before I could see how thick it was. (He thought he'd surprise me!) What thickness of plywood do I need for the deck on this boat? It needs to support a couple of 230 lb...

    I have a 1989 50 HP outboard (Johnson) that came on a Tracker 17' boat. I'm trying to identify the motor's model number so I can get the correct parts. The charts I've seen show that all Johnson 50's made for Tracker begin with a "T". But my motor has parts that are not shown in any of the...

    5200 remover/hand cleaner

    I spent most of the day putting in transom screws and sealing them with 3M 5200. Now my fingers are a pale grey and have what looks like oil sealed into them. Any recommendations on what will remove the residue and leave the skin intact?

    Screw hole sealants

    I'm putting in a new wood transom on the back of my aluminum bass boat. The transom sits in between two thin walls of aluminum. The three layers are held together with 2 1/4 inch screws and nylon lock nuts, and also with the motor mount bolts. I want to seal the ends of the screws (where the...

    Need SS fasteners

    Hey all, I'm redoing my transom and need to install the new one using 2' stainless steel screws/bolts with stainless & nylon locknuts. I need about 30 of them but the prices at my local HW store are really high. Know any good stores or web sites to get them less expensive?

    1989 Tracker transom problem

    I've got an 1989 17' Bass Tracker Deep V aluminum boat that i love. I noticed the tie down fastener (u-bolt) was loose and in removing it (through the not for fat arms exhaust hole), I discovered the transom is wet and rotted. Can someone tell me the specifics on removing the alum cap on...
