The steering box and column is what I used. Mine was from a Century, I converted it to the port side so my pictures show the opposite side of what yours would be. There are ends that connect to the steering box and the tiller and 1/2 inch pipe that is run along the motor stringer through simple wood...

Got back from our annual houseboat trip a couple weeks ago. Went to lake Mead and had a great time. The first day was 115 degrees but it "cooled down" to the low 100s the rest of the time.The water was in the 80s. We setup over 20 miles from the marina and it was almost like we had the whole lake to...

I had a aluminum one on a boat I had.

My boat stays covered outside so it is hard on the covers. I used to use Stitch master covers and they would last about three years but they stopped making them. I tried others and they would not even last a year. This is the cover I am using now https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041E9CJ6/ref=oh_a...

( Mine and a Cracker Box built by the Sea Scouts) The show was free to the public and we had a good turnout. A few pictures IMG_0166.jpg Glen-L Cracker ...

Agree, Different approaches, all valid. I chose to use 1 part for my use. Less expensive easier to to apply and I planned to refinish every few years. My boat is no "Trailer Queen" I store it covered but outside in Modesto Ca, 100+ degrees common in the summer. We do take it to shows but once a year...

Does two part varnish not flow like regular varnish? Regular varnish when applied correctly even with a brush will flow out smooth with no sanding or buffing. The two part might be a tougher finish, but I can't see the advantage to all the extra work and turning all that expensive varnish into dust ...

If you used some 90 degree fittings on the thermostat housing would that work ?

On my Monaco, when it is level the lowest point is about where the drivers feet are. It would be hard to lift the front high enough to drain at the transom. I have a T- handled garboard plug like Jim posted. It is under the front cockpit floorboard on one side of the keel with a limber through the k...

Congratulations,
Fun!
This is what its all about.
