Jeremy: Looks super. Did you replace the Stewart Warner gauges with new or refurbish them? [I'm looking for the Stewart Warner part numbers for the Water Temp, Oil Pressure and Fuel gauges, I replaced my Tachometer's and Voltmeter's a few years ago.] I just cleaned them up - a little simple green a...

JeremyD

That was really my one splurge -

http://www.hightidemarine.cc/

high tide marine - My old wheel center was crazed and old

JeremyD

used 3M CF look vinyl - supposed to hold up well (it's covered 95% of the time anyway)

moved the horn and rewired - it was faded and dingy when I got the boat.

JeremyD

I'm all for keeping it simple. I ended up making a bracket out of a morse throttle cable holder from Summit Racing. It's stainless steel and aluminum - so should hold up better than the original. I was also fortunate that I was able to save a majority of the transmission attachment http://www.thehul...

JeremyD

Thanks Preston - yep the zip ties were just to get me home.

JeremyD

Exactly what I was looking for - thanks so much. I looked for about 2 hours on line and could not come up with it.

Woo woo

JeremyD

My bracket has rusted - and I am looking for a replacement. Anybody know where I can find a replacement??

under $90 at Amazon - and yes - apparently the GPS function on the WiFi models triangulate on the wifi network(s) no matter if connected directly or not. This works fine if you stay coastal in a populated area. I originally hooked this up right after Christmas (got the iPad Ram Mount) and took the b...

JeremyD

Just an update on this. With the Wifi version of the Ipad2 - to perform gps functions outside of the wifi network - you really need one of the Apple approved GPS external receivers. I chose the Dual one because of the Bluetooth access and because it has a nifty rubber holder. When you sync the GPS r...

JeremyD

Kano or Kroil - better than PB blaster for that sort of application...

JeremyD

http://www.egauges.com/vdo_grou.asp?Series=OL_WH_BL_CHR you can get the VDO gauges with all sorts of options. On my car - I went a step further - I had them custom rescreened with more of the old style green - with Chrome bezels... They are also VDO http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads19/P10304671...

JeremyD

spraying Awgrip - not a good idea - it has some real nasty chemicals that disperse in aerosol. Not for the ill equipped.

JeremyD

gloss paint will reflect heat, repel dirt, and be easier to clean then a flatter finish. I would really think it over if that gloss bothers you or not. Amen - on another boat I used the flattening agent on nonskid - just the nonskid. It was harder to clean up and it stained. I ended up doing it ove...

JeremyD

Good info - here's the exhaust on mine

JeremyD

I have a 1986 with the side exhausts too - Not sure why - but they are there. I cleaned up with some simple green - but may also take them off and repaint (I have some extra awlgrip right now)

JeremyD

I have yet to try my ipad - I know with my iphone - in direct sunlight I have to adjust the screen brightness all the way up to see in direct sunlight - but I usually have to do this for my Lowrance too. It decreases battery time - but I also just added a new cigarette lighter 12V source so I can ke...

JeremyD

That looks great. Forgive my dumb questions. Does the unit track your position and route (dotted line)? Can you store waypoints? In one of the pictures there was a mounting bracket. Is that an apple accessory? When you buy a Navionics app, does it cover everywhere or do you have to purchase a speci...

mine is just wifi - it works with GPS antenna - yep internal first picture is ipad with navionics http://www.thehulltruth.com/attachments/test-area/206448d1322926629-bimini-ipad_navionics.jpg this is ipad with iNavX application http://www.thehulltruth.com/attachments/test-area/206449d1322926629-bimi...

I have both a garmin hand held - and use both the iNavx (and Navionics app) application on my Iphone - and plan on using both on my Ipad with the marine mount.

I have one that fits pretty well. It's on the swim platform - have the fill going to my raw water washdown. Recirculating pump in the livewell. Even in Florida summers - If I change the water once every 12 hours - it will keep bait alive over the weekend. http://www.thehulltruth.com/attachments/test...

JeremyD

So - OK to paint the screen when the bottom is done? Just make sure the holes are open?

Thanks for the feedback

JeremyD

So - have to take the Hyena boat in for a bottom job - Have one thru hull that the handle broke off - that goes to one of the original strainers. and have a leaking strainer - So plan on replacing the thru hulls - sea cocks - and was thinking about just pulling the old stuff and installing new - wit...

JeremyD

Funny that it went east of their [NHC] projected point - yet they brought the projected path back to the west because one of their higher weighted models brought it back towards the coast line (GFDL). Here's a pretty neat site that shows model animations (page down - left hand side) http://vortex.pl...

JeremyD

I'm thinking it's started it turn earlier than forecast and everybody might be spared - next 12 hours are critical - but wouldn't be surprised if the models start shoving it east and further offshore.

JeremyD

Scott has some excellent tips - I can tell he's been through a few. I'll also add - get some CASH - ATM's run out - or don't have electricity. Cash talks If you have kids - get a portable TV and make sure you have lots of batteries - also make sure their video games are charged - AND make sure you b...

I have a Kitchen Aid under counter - makes #50 lbs a day - If I need a bunch just take some out and freeze it in a bag. As others have said - filter the incoming water - probably the best addition to our house (it was the one thing I insisted on when we redid the kitchen) - specially during the summ...

Nice clean looking B28 you have there.

Eddy G.

Yeah - sort of works like that, doesn't it?

JeremyD

closer look

I used awlgrip - sanded down the formica down to 220 grit. filled in any dents with epoxy and microballons - Had to use some epoxy and clamps to reattach the formica some of the wood on the door had separated - I also repainted the covering boards the same way when I first got the boat - they came o...

JeremyD

Thanks - it was quite a bit of work fitting to the door frame. Not quite level or square.

JeremyD

The door frame was rotted - I remade in teak - as well as painting the door with awlgrip and refinishing the wood. Hopefully it won't leak like it was leaking during Florida thunderstorm season... http://www.thehulltruth.com/attachments/test-area/178786d1308576929-bimini-door_finished.jpg http://www...

Hyena Boat?

JeremyD

Hey Russ - - just sorting some details today - rebuilt calipers - bled brakes - had track tires mounted on new wheels - I'll be there - be sure and come by and say hello.

I'm n instructor - so if I'm not by my car that means I am probably out with a student.

JeremyD

Russ - I just finished building your cars' twin sister

I'm down at Sebring all the time.

Bruce let us know when your time is - I have a large appreciation of a well built car

Wowzers!

PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene telomer) Similar to the McLube I posted. Some you spray - some you wipe on.

Sometimes when I am starting the starboard engine the tach will register 3500 rpm's - on July 4th It settled at 1000 rpms' idle - then when I powered up - tach swung to 5000 rpm's (obviously not there based on speed/throttle placement) After I stopped the engines to watch fireworks - it worked norma...

Early 80's they made the cockpit deeper - the earlier boats were pretty shallow. Like Face said - check the rudder posts / shelves - mine were actually in decent shape. Check for rot on the cabin bulkhead (again mine was replaced with starboard at some point in it's life) Check windows for leaks/rot...

Then I would suggest "Angry Angel" or maybe "Ex Angel"

looks like a great project
