    Chalk like Residue on paint

    A guy i work with used the same etching primer and only used 1 coat and he mentioned he wished he had used a second coat of primer because it doesn't take much to chip the paint and primer off of his right down to the bare aluminum. I then read rustoleum documentation you should put on a light...

    Chalk like Residue on paint

    OK, i took a couple pictures, they arent the greatest but i think you get the idea. this happens when pretty much anything drags across the painted surface, the marks in the pictures were caused by the pads of my finger tips. i dont think it was my skin because my fingers werent roughed up...

    1436 Alumacraft Cartopper Mod - advice?

    Well I'll be damned. Must not have been too terrible of an idea if someone took the time to make it into a marketable product. Thats pretty slick but i have to admit a couple of pulleys, a $60 electric winch and some good ol hillbilly engineering seems more practical than whatever at rack...

    1436 Alumacraft Cartopper Mod - advice?

    Just a thought, and do realize it will add some stress the structure unless you have another set of hands helping support it, but you could hook up a hand crank winch or cheap harbor freight 12v winch to the truck/rack that would "pull"the boat up onto the rack by the bow, then once you get is...
