I use the DA polisher from Shurhold with their polish. You need a hi-speed buffer with speed adjustments to polish the gel coat with compound.

Nice boat! I got my hi speed buffer for like $40 at harbor freight and picked up some wool pads from Oreilly Autoparts.
This vid is great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke5kfYz9Ybw

I have a New Dimension Tower being built right now. Black tower, black bimini, black board rack, lighted ski tow.
Replace all gauges except speedos for now. (Will probably go with perfectpass...

Oh that sucks, sounds like you certainly had some other issue with the carb. I'll have to remember that if I ever decide to replace my carb. Seems like if the Holley didn't need it then neither would...

For the record, to properly adjust the mixture screws you need a vacuum gauge. I just had mine rebuilt and used the gauge to set my mixture for maximum vacuum and it runs great. You also want the...

I plan on replacing all the gauges this winter but my original Faria gauge seems to work fine. I called skidim and talked to thier service manager and he told me to send the switch back and he'll...

Go ahead and do what I did and buy the kit from Great Lakes Skipper for a Cobalt 196. It is everything you need and is way cheaper than pieceing it together....

This switch was bad when I bought my boat and the PO had just bypassed it with a jumper to let the fuel pump run when ignition is on. This switch just cuts off the fuel pump when oil pressure is too...

Thank you!

She is very fun to drive and pretty quick! Over the winter im going to add a tower so I can actually accommodate more people when towing someone.

It was super easy to install. I...

Nice! The lady that did my interior said the drivers bucket at the two back curved panels were the biggest pain in the butt to do. I finally just took the whole boat to her to get the back panels...

Thank you! It's been a lot of work but it's paying off on the weekends now! I ordered the pad directly from SeaDek. Just call and you'll talk to Susan. I think the pad drawing they used was for a...

Just a small update. Finally got my SeaDek platform pad. Color is storm grey over black. I love it!

Haha! Thanks! That's our "old dock" that needs to be redecked and apparently the bench needs redecking too haha!

Thanks!

Here's a couple more pics of the boat in the water.. Still waiting on Seadek to make my platform pad....

Here are some final updates probably until I decide which tower I am going to buy and install.
I had an issue where the exhaust hose wouldn't seal to the exhaust tips and had water leaking into the...

Wish I could've made it to this!

Yea you could do that but I would not run one for a while. They're sealed to keep sparks out of bilge.

You need a marine starter. There is a difference between marine and automotive starters and alternators. Check around online too. I know skidim and bakes sells them too.

Wow, I didn't think that was really possible. TaylorMade would probably be it unless you can find a junked boat somewhere which is very unlikely.

Not sure how you boat is but mine has a breaker right next to the bilge switch. If your breaker is tripping, check the intake around your pump and the impeller to see if the pump is clogged. Pump...

You'll have to grind/widen the scratches so the gel coat can get into the scratch and bond to the rest of the gel coat. White wouldn't be hard to match as that's the natural color for gel coat...

The raw water pump covers the crank pulley bolt but I've noticed you can still spin the motor over using one of the allen bolts on the raw water pump flange. I'd pull all the spark plugs so there's...

I almost went with a new carb but decided to stick with a rebuild since I knew it was the right carb with the right jets for my motor. Call them and talk to Melissa or Jim. They know what they're...
