I was wondering the same. Of course Super dangerous to be doing that on a non surf model.

When I do fiberglass repairs, I always use the West system products. They have a lot of fillers and additives too that will make your job much easier. Check out their website.

Fortress anchor Fx-7 fits in the anchor box of my R5. Awesome anchor. I use 25' of 1/4" chain. It can hold my boat in 20 MPH wind on Lake Tahoe. I have a box anchor on my pontoon boat and I use it on muddy bottoms. It basically doesn't hold at all in any kind of wind...it basically controls my ...

25W is the viscosity when the temp is 0°F

Strap filter is the best for getting off stuck filters.

Yep...I use the same.

What tool did you use to cut that?

Drilling a few holes is not a big issue. You already have a huge hole for the sterndrive...what's a couple extra small holes?

Have a custom one made. Even if you were to find one that fit, it would come with no snaps and you would have to install them yourself.

I thought they fixed that issue WAY before 2014!

The fuel pump is 10 years old. Probably just worn out and not due to the cooling. You are probably going to have a heart attack when you see the price but you will have a new fuel pump that will last for awhile and not have to worry about it.
