The only thing that I have read is that the 2 do not mix, as to what harm, I do not know. I found this on the net. Synthetic oils typically provide better protection than conventional oils, but switching back and forth between full synthetic and conventional oil will not damage the engine. Of...

Are you talking about the center front bow cushion?

Do you have pictures of the top?

Where do you boat at? Don't the bribges open to boat trafic?

If it was made right to begin with, you would not need a second pole. Sounds like the original pattern was not made right. If they put in a second pole, is there room for it on the floor, or will it set on the seat? Good luck.

Talked with my canvas guy with 40 years experience, he said it was made wrong. He said that there is a lot of pressure on the forward port snap. He said in order to fix it you have to release the pressure on the forward snap, and that would be to add some more fabric in that area and a new snap...

Not sure if that will cure the issue, the right side is already tight. Not there, can't really say, just going from sum what past experience. I will throw it by the canvas guy that I help out. And show him the pictures.

If they are charging that much, you should be getting a high quality product. If you are not sure, ask them what fabric, glass, and thread they will be using. Then look it up on the net, or if you like post it here, and then I will check it out with the people I help out. Also if you are not...

Ya, but is was late after noon on Sunday Labor Day week-end, so there really wasn't anyone around that could have helped. I even had trouble finding a wrecker service. The issue with the transmission was, a little critter decided to have my wiring harness for lunch. Lol That was another $300...

I help out at a marine canvas shop, and 5K is not at all out of line for a complete enclosure, Sunbrella, glass, thread, (yes thread) Sunbrella thread is sold by the pound and it ain't cheap, but it will last forever. If you could watch from start to finish one being done you would have a better...

It looks like the canvas may not be tight enough. If you take it to a canvas shop they can make adjustments to make it fit better and stop it from gathering there. Simple fix.

At what angle are your tabs and drive set to the bottom of the hull when running, and at what speeds and RPMS?

Are you Carbureted, if so at 3100 you are in your 4's, if FI, I don't think it matters. With all my additions I am heavier than you, so my outdrive will not do the job without help. This is when I need 2900 RPMS to do 18 MPH.

In my 1985 owners manual Mercruiser states to that my engine will run on 87 but they recommend using 89 that way I will be guaranteed 87. I use Starbtite all season, that way I do not have to add it when I winterize. My girl sets in a 55 degree room all winter, so whatever is in her 88gal tank...

:clap:Great photo! Now you experience what I do on Lake Erie mid week. It is like having your own private lake.

Are you talking about a complete enclosure with glass, fabric, and frame work?

Yesterday (Saturday) was a pretty day, but Lake Erie was a little bumpy at my end, so I decided to trailer up to another place I like to boat, the southern end of the Detroit River, it is quite a diverse area. I packed a lunch and some goodies and headed North. Found a nice place to drop anchor...

You need to add a vertical post to hold that side of the canvas up. They make different types, take it to a canvas shop and they can show you what you need.

Thanks

:sad:I have no idea of what you are talking about. Maybe you can explain it in layman terms. So I know what is wrong and what you need to do to fix it. It may be beneficial to others also to help to understand what you have to do to keep this great forum alive .Thanks.
