    Fishing License

    I know what you mean. I lived out of the city limits of small towns all my life. Spent most of my carrier with my office being in Bryan /College Station TAMU where I stayed on the road covering all the construction sites from there to about a hundred mile radius. After I retired from that My...

    Project turned into a rebuild.

    You’re correct sir. I still have to paint,rebuild the front deck and take it off the trailer flip it and do the bottom. I’m sure I’ll add as I go.

    Project turned into a rebuild.

    Man, all I have to do is build my little table for cutting bait which will also provide shade for the portable fuel tank and mount two battery boxes. Go float it to check for leaks after everything I did to it and adjust a couple things on the trailer at the same time. Boom have to work on the...

    Best product to clean electrical connectors

    Got me a new can of it as well. I used it yesterday to clean the connections under the hood of my wife’s car while reassembling everything after doing the valve cover gasket’s. Coil wire and sensor connectors.

    Best product to clean electrical connectors

    I got a new can and did the fuse box. The battery switch lugs which are exposed copper 2 weeks old and looks like new. When I sprayed them to coat them it bubbled away cleaning corrosion that already started which I couldn’t see but the Fluid Film found it. Then I sprayed it in the trolling...

    Best product to clean electrical connectors

    Thanks for the information. When I first started using it I found that the More I shook it up the better. I think I’ll stick with the FF and I have a digital multimeter. $9 a can vs. $30 is a lot better for my wallet as well. I just re wired the entire boat. Should I just treat the fuse block...

    I thought the instructions on the Fluid film said to spray after connections are made. If I spray it directly into the connections on the outboard like the CDI unit for example would I need to remove the Fluid film afterwards? Will it interfere with current flow? It has worked awesome keeping...

    rust converter thoughts

    I thought about using bed liner for this deck but was afraid the finish may help grass stick. I bought the Rustoleum Rust Reformer today and noticed it was a primer also. I have some Rustoleum Stops Rust Black enamel to top coat it. After everything completely cures I’ll try ceramic coating it...

    Big box stores or HarborFreight has their brand and Rustoleum. Remember to prime over it before painting.

    rust converter thoughts

    I have a neighbor that let her Husqvarna with less than 50 hours on it sit outside for two years. I have it here and got it running but still have a lot of maintenance to do on it. When I loaded it on my trailer I saw big flakes of rust come from the deck. So one of the things I’m going to do is...

    Project turned into a rebuild.

    Here’s some pictures. Like the monkey said when he caught his tail in a fan. It won’t be long know! All the gunnel mounts are where I want them. I have some flat bases I’ll be putting on the front deck. I was thinking of the corners of the transom also but I’ll be changing everything up after...

    I like that better. All fluid film has is real thick which like you mentioned is good for leaf springs. Looks like I’m going to build me a stock of Corrosion X. When I got my first can on Fluid film I read it was mostly lanolin. I have trouble getting my boat on and off the trailer (something I...

    Trolling motor bracket for mounting transom mounted tm on bow

    Braden, I know it’s been a while for this thread but I just happened to run across your post while browsing the site. Did you get your trolling motor mounted? I have a 16/52 with a transom mount trolling motor on the bow. The bracket I made has been holding up strong on the 55# Min Kota. If...

    Project turned into a rebuild.

    Well I mounted a few rod holder mounts that where supposed to fit the round top of the gunnels. Ever time I start to do something different I learn from a mistake. I bought five mounts for the round gunnels months ago because they where on clearance and they where Driftmaster for 1/2” rod...

    Project turned into a rebuild.

    Decided since I’m waiting on parts for the neighbors lawn tractor and I can work on the wife’s car tomorrow. I’m going to see if I can’t put some finishing touches on my boat. Mount new rod holders etc. One thing I want to do is build some type of cover that shades the portable fuel tank. It’s...

    I’m all freshwater here but I’ve been using Fluid film and it works. I’ve wondered if the Corrosion X is better or not quite as messy. When I got the boat to rebuild it had corrosion issues. The outboard had a few spots as well on the head. I cleaned the connectors then sprayed gunk on the...

    Project turned into a rebuild.

    I’m finished!!!! All the wiring is done. Trolling battery and 18ah sla fish finder battery are in the same box just behind the deck. The house battery a 35ah sla is in a U1 box inside the rear bench with the wiring. All taking up very little space. Thanks for all the advice. I learned a lot...
