Re: Diesel Repower 1989 32' Fisherman

I'd be carful with what you use to clean bare aluminum. Aluminum doesn't like high PH. If all the detergent isn't removed, as it starts to dry and increase in concentration it can reach high PH and cause pitting corrosion.

There is no advantage in removing seat posts, the feed tube for all the control cables and wiring stick up about as much as the seat posts. My trailer is set up so that I am under the 14' bridge height while still being ...

Re: What's the best bottom paint

Last year I switched to a water based Cu free bottom paint on my 39 DC. This year, we are launching with only waterline touch up.

But, the consolation prize is that I spent 3 weeks doing repairs to my Imron paint job. The marina that painted it did a shoddy job of prep and then used foam tape to ...
