Thanks Mariner! There were 5 pages I had not previously found in other owner's manuals! I'm beginning to understand the process. Now if I could just get the holes in the bottom of the boat plugged so it will float!!!

Another point concerning fans and flamables: Use the fan to blow into the confined area, not suck out of it. If you create a positive pressure the fumes will be blown out whatever openings are available. If you use the fan for suction, all the flamable fumes are being pulled through a constantly arc...

I have an EZ Loader with rollers all around. I'll get some pictures this weekend, but may have to send them directly to you because I haven't figured out how to make my file sizes small enough to use here (that's why I have no avatar). I looked at the EZ Loader site, but they only show powerboat sty...

Since I'm a trailer sailer wanabe... I like the concept of the hinged step, but I have to take the mast off each time out. Would'nt it be great - or maybe it already exists, if the hinged step had a removable hinge pin so you could lower, pull the pin and the mast would be free to tie down for trans...

There are two types of resin, poly and vinylester. The later will not melt your foam. I did not mean to imply covering the entire thing, but just to use this in sanding down the high spots you make with the micro/whatever mixture. This is to avoid filling a low spot with micro and then creating othe...

Sorry it took so long for me to reply... lost my password. Beau was great getting me connected again. To the micro baloon. They are the correct thing to use. The trick, though is that the foam is much softer than the micro so final sanding can gouge the foam and leave the micro locations too high. T...
