Hi, I had new stainless rudders fabricated 20 years ago with the help of several local small companies, bought sheet steel and rods at Speedy Metal, they sent me to water jet cutter shop to cut plate, then went to small machine shop that milled stainless steel rod stock to match old rudder, then sto...

I cut my hose with Dremel cutting wheel, also worked to get the sanitary hose off this season for that system replacement. make a cut lengthwise and peel open. Hope it works.

Hi, I use Solar Seal 900. WONDERFUL stuff, stays pliable almost forever. I use it for all sorts of bedding, sealing and gap filling. Maintains adhesion and pliability.

He could not isolate the origin of the sound. I too have thought tranny and packing and strut bearing: all received new fluid or replac...

Yes on the dimensions ID and OD. When I ordered mine I purchased a one foot section and have a piece left over that I pulled out of storage to give you the measures. i had the boat yard make cuts to my needed length. You can validate length prior to ordering the 80ho225, or get a one footer and make...

Hi did this chore a few years ago on my 1990 32' Express.

Look at Buck Algonquin tem # 80ho225.

As i recall, lots of KY Jell (yes) was needed to get packing box with tube onto the shaft housing.

My annual Anode maintenance here on Lake Michigan is removal from keel, trim tabs and prop shafts. The bedding areas are all cleaned with a fine emery scotchbrite flapper wheel to remove the white deposits and provide a clean surface. The anodes are cleaned, with a belt sander held in a vise, to rem...
