2011年6月20日 · Vasoline for boat hulls! Boat Repairs & Maintenance. Ok ok, maybe it is a little unusual but isn't one of the natural reasons why fish have a slimey outer coating on their fish bodies is to reduce the friction between them and the water.

2024年10月6日 · Every time I hear/read a discussion re: aluminum welding it brings a smile to my face. Years ago I was with a neighbor who asked a local welder if he could weld aluminum. The welder replied with a totally straight face, "Son, there are only two things I can mend - a broken heart and the crack in your a_ _!"

2018年6月2日 · I am looking to install a 4x30ft seasonal aluminum boat dock. I am considering the following products: Shoremaster, Hewitt, FWM or a custom docks that has aluminum pipe that is driven several feet into the lake. My primary concern is stability of the dock for my 24ft boat. Will add whips and cross bracing.

2013年10月1日 · That looks like an all-aluminum boat with two Yamaha four-stroke outboards, that is welded construction as opposed to riveted construction, which is un-painted; pretty unusual to see this as most boats that size, about 28', with the exception of the NH Marine Patrol boats, are all made of fiberglass.

2017年5月21日 · Agree that the PT wood will dry out in 6 to 12 months. After that some sort of sealer is in order, clear or a stain. Without a sealer the wood will absorb rain water and then with the winter freeze small cracks will form. As the years go by the cracks will enlarge. A sealer will prevent this. As a test, pour some water on the wood.

2010年1月30日 · I have an old all-aluminum dock, maybe made in the 1950's or 1960's, and there's usually ways do make repairs without going to East Coast Welding-Gilford for a fancy-dancy heli-arc aluminum weld....such as galvanized mending plates from the hardware store and stainless screws....or a pressure treated wood repair rib underneath or something ...

2024年12月22日 · That's the only place I wrecked a prop on the lake. I was at dle speed, and exploring in my second boat. Figured the skeg would protect the prop from a light bump, but it did not... Aluminum props and rocks don't play well together. SS is vastly more resilient. I put a spare on and continued on my way. I was able to repair the aluminum prop ...

2010年6月1日 · My 4000 lbs boat with snubbers was fine but the guy next to me with a 12' aluminum boat and no snubbers used to beat the crap out of the dock. You could see and feel the pylons rattle when the boat got to the end of the line yanked the whole dock. Besides, taking the boat on and off the mooring every time you want to use it is a major PITA.
