I found good info on the Boat US site.

I too am not familiar with a heat gun. How do you employ that in favor of bedding? I use 5200! Never an issue never leaks! People that whine about removal of fixtures/hatches etc. don't know how to use a heat gun! :mrgreen: :roll: :thup

I need to begin the process of re-bedding all the common fixtures on my boat and I'm wondering which type you prefer? Life Caulk, 5200, 4200, 3200 and 2200 (just testing) I've used almost all the above but which would you choose? Now for the Apology: Since joining this group I've read where...

I looked for a boat for two years and wish you luck to find the right one. What do you have now.

Sounds easy and convenient.

This sounds interesting. A mat? I've only seen the squares. Do you have a web address?

Sobol that is a handsome solution. How often does it need removal/cleaning? Why do you have Leesburg on your transom if you're really from MI? The Potomac is so shallow and rocky up that way ;-)

Punkin, I believe that you believe what you say for after all you said it twice, lol. Now let's see if I can summarize. You use your wash down salt or fresh. and you feel as long as you remember to close your valve and inspect your hoses you don't mind the idea of a through hull. Now let's see...

Thanks Phil, I guess I'll order the hose attachment.

Yes fresh water sometimes comes at a cost. I'm learning about this for the first time. never really knew anything about the care of boats until I met this group and am greatful. I just got a pump sprayer and am ordering the Salt Away. I got the raw water wash down system working. I have a nice...

Thanks for the info. How much product are you using per gallon. I have Surge brakes so this is likely going to be helpful to spray them down with each use.

Anyone have a dilution rate for salt away for general spray down of Boat after boating in salt. I plant to use The product in a garden sprayer for boat, brakes and engine exterior. Unless we've taken a slip with dockside water I won't treat engines internally until arriving home. But I want to...

My last large boat was a 238DLV Carolina skiff with no real systems. It's amazing how spoiled we were. The entire boat sole was filled with foam. So we were often to carefree to even put the plug in and only once had seawater make it onto the cockpit sole and that was because three grown men...

How many of you are using your raw water wash downs? Maybe I shouldn't be when in salt but frankly I always used saltwater to wash down my Carolina Skiff to good effect. I didn't have $500 reels to worry about and there were no fittings aboard that were corrosive. This 22 ain't no Carolina...

I have the type of wash down that sources from a through hull fitting to a sureflo style pump screwed onto the transom. From there it goes to the forward side of the engine well where there is a switch and a quick hose connection. It seems that the connection is an air hose connector as it...

Yes, ultimately that is probably what we will do as it is the most effective and economical.

that'll do it...

Did you have to rub it in that you are from SLO, CA? Gosh.....What a beautiful area. Congrats on the new boat. Our family will float ours for the first time soon, so I know the feeling. Congrats to Clay as well.

Granath, It is essential to have the tow weight fall within the legal limits. My F250 Lariat was manufactured to tow 13,000 lbs. But when I licensed it I put 9999 lbs as the registered tow limit. So although I could have towed 13k I limited myself to 10 to avoid insurance or legal issues. With...

If our Bimini frame and top were horizontally in line with and behind the radar dome would it interfere with the radar signal to the rear?
