THANKS for the info, I have been searching for a long time for narrow panels, also they are Marine Grade, I can get a pair shipped to FL for 500.00, plus a Dometic Freezer around 650.00, better start saving! Roger

A lot of people for a long time have used Gluv-it for coating aluminum tanks. " On aluminum hulls, Gluvit seals seams and rivets and acts as a barrier coat to minimize galvanic corrosion" http://www.marinetex.com/gluvit.html

The older MUSxxxx cards are available on Ebay, and you can sell your unneeded card there, too. Roger

Idle speed is controlled by the IAC (Idle Air Control). It is electronic and must be diagnosed by plugging the motor into a computer w/ SDS(Suzuki Diagnostic Software). Are you getting any trouble codes? If its leaking exhaust from corrosion, you should get 1 or more trouble codes from the...

On my 22 the rear bilge pump sump still has a core, although it is thinner. I got 1 sounder to work there for a while, but I have a newer one that won't work. I think you need to be sure there is NO core. Roger

My 22 Cruiser w/ Suzuki 90A burns 1/2 gallon an hour at a little over 5 mph, (1500 RPM) they have really gotten the fuel injection dialed in on the newer motors. Roger

I know Suzuki/Johnson will only do the right thing if a lot of pressure is put on them, like BOAT U.S. is doing with Yamaha. There may be a settlement in the future, so save those pictures! Roger

I would stick with the regular kind, it's a pretty stiff gooey product that comes with a small bristle brush for application. Be sure to get it up under the head of the screw where it makes contact with the aluminum. I used Truss Head Phillips screws. Roger PS: I did have 3 of the old screws...

Congratulations to Capt. Paul Watson and Sea Sheperds, and many others world wide who care for these magnificent animals! http://www.seashepherd.org/news-and-med ... earch-1569 Roger

I had a the same problem, removed all screws from window frames and replaced with new ones coated with Tef Gel, problem solved! Roger

I remember seeing a camper van in the 70's that had foam insulated panels held to the steel inside with thick silicon grease. They were very removable and stuck in place well. Roger

"Overkill on maintenance is a small price to pay for durability" I agree completely! Oil, filters, zincs, and fresh water rinse whenever possible. Roger

For what it's worth my 2011 Suzuki 90A Service Manual requires changing the filter only every other oil change. I use the dipstick pump method with great success with the engine in the down position. Roger

Tractor Supply has a new seat model of some interest: http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/p ... _vc=-10005

Not sure who, but it came out of a van. Really nice! I've been looking on Craigslist at van seats with no luck. I believe this one is on a 25 footer. Roger

I no longer attempt to screw or glue anything, I use 3m double sided adhesive tape, strips or pads. The stuff is amazing and comes in a lot of styles for different applications. It has held 2 solar panels to my roof for 5 years and a heavy brass clock in the cabin, along with all kinds of...

After 4 years of failed coatings- I found one that works in here in Florida. Apply Pettit 6455 primer (West Marine carries it) to your shiny, clean stainless steel tabs Apply Pettit 6627 "Tie Coat" (like a liquid rubber stuff) to bond the primer to the bottom paint Apply your bottom paint (I...

Yes-OMC has been my and many mechanics' choice for a long time, they can handle the Florida sun without problems. I always carry a spare of course! Roger

Check this stuff out-I got some, but have not hauled the boat out yet to apply it. Looks to be the real deal. http://www.nyalic.com/marine/ Roger

Previously a Dealer Only item, I just ordered one from Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200951423466?ss ... 1439.l2649 95.00 it was selling for 225.00 in April this year. Finally, I can see what's going on with my motor without a dealer visit! Roger
