    Paint Bubbling

    in Boating

    Posted

    I had the same problem with my Allycraft :(

    I found it was better to rub back the affected areas and re spray or hand touch up the corrosion as the problem will continue to get bigger

    The Big problem is that salt gets under the unpainted areas and the problem begins I now paint all edges of drilled holes and Sicoflex brackets or mounts or have fish oiled under rod holders and have never had a problem since

    Also i think it is illegal to copy the maps...much like using a pirated version of Windows XP

    It might be worthwhile you checking the legal side of it before posting it on an open forum.

    I know of a fella who tried and stuffed his original ONE SO DONT TRY IT

    politics is a tricky businness!!!

    yet saying all this id have doubts about both parties yet liberals havent been in pariliament and havent faultered or succeded yet. Good luck and be careful working out who to vote for though its a tricky game!!!

    If ever I had a doubt about the youth of today, and was worried how they look after the country, then PK has dispelled all those bad thoughts.

    Windsor Boat canopies. Do all of the new boats for the Dealers that way they make them in either Black or polished pipe and also do rocket launchers if needed

    I bought the Lowrance LMS339 and i am totally satisfied with it, having used a garmin on my previous boat, i had a look at the garmin colour unit and wasn't fussed by the screen or the graphics. As with any piece of electronics, it must be installed correctly to fuction at it full capacity. i thought the grapics of the Lowrance were far superior, and the detail with the Navionics Gold map absolutley shits all over the garmin blue maps...

    You need to READ THE MANUAL!!!!! otherwise you will not be able to operate the device, let alone get the best performance from it, learn how to set it up so you can get the information you are looking for, be it the bottom density in 700 feet of water or kingfish hanging from a mooring line.

    I'm with you Sammy I have the same unit and have not had a prob beats my old Humminbird I got mine Lowrance from Os

    Just Go to Girraween VG smash or it used to be called Harts can sell it more than likely in a Enamel or Acrylic

    You would think a half decent spray painter would and could colour match it for you As how the hell do they do cars after they fade and age or re do the whole lot with a stripe or sticker

    I fully agree with George this fella picked up thing on the set up of my rig that where wrong and my boat is new

    I have met over 30 blokes who use him Not one went away feeling ripped or unhappy with his work

    He will do the service in front of you if you want and explain what he's doing

    Some of the things he does as standard are compression test ;oil change; battery cell test'; spray protective spray on battery terminals ;carbon decarb if required , Grease up nipples check and grease trailer wheels Grease accelerator linkages, check battery for charging from engine , and he also did a water test for me as he found my outboard sat too deep and the prop was to big My boat gained a extra 1200rpm and 14km by him setting it up
