Nope !

Dang Brian... it's Canada already.. get over it !!! No issue for 2 guys to bring their boats all the way from TO in that crap today for me to fix! ...washing all the slush and crud off before bringing them into shop was another story though...

LOL... yah I can see chasing that down the lake in the wind!!! What's wrong with this and holding a blanket up for the ladies.. I have a nice low profile one in my boat that slips right under the bow insert where you walk thru the windshield.

And to think you were making fun of Rob...

Is what I have on mine to Darrell.. and about what I paid.... just too bad when you fold it up and take it off it won't fit lengthwise in the short box! Mine's now almost 5 years old.. still looks new. Material has shrunk a bit along the rear edge pulling it up slightly.. but still doesn't leak.

Funny she didn't mention it today.. getting older that is... I guess she wanted to keep it quiet! To the couch me friend... lol

She's just hoping that he switches from that little ice fishing rod to a stream rod really soon.....

Maybe.. but not what's recommended in the manual. Plain old 10W30 for my, 2002 25 HP, Honda and an oil filter. I won't use full synthetic in anything.

Must be selling cheap drugs on Main st these days...

Personally.. can't believe you'd spend $700 and lose the warrantee over $36 install fee !

Great stuff Joey... the father / son time! The fish are just a nice bonus...

What Andy said....

Yah... if only this was one of the original dozen... http://www.rmauctions.com/FeatureCars.cfm?...D=r082&fc=0 Went for years and years to sit and watch junk go across the block for 3 days with the odd gem. Keep saying I should take mine down and run it across the block... but not in this economy.

Have a great day Ryan !

That one would be like spinning a rolette wheel IMHO..... Rivet is probably a derivative of 2024 aluminum which is not weldable. Boat maybe 2024 if real old as well... or could be 5052 which is weldable... but the rivet may very well not be...and then you'll have a real mess on your hands. Other issue is welding aluminum period.. which degrades the "parent" material beside the welds.. but that's a whole nuther arguement that we get into her once or twice a year. Tracker won't even stand behind their hulls I'm seeing/hearing. 4 year old boats with lifetime hull warrantees and cracks thru the hull caused by interior brace welding with the hull crack 1/4" away from the braces (that have broken off even) and they won't honour the hull warrantee because it covers "welded seams".

I have no tested experience with the 591 and 592 marine sealant. You can get it at West Marine and pay $20 dollars or so for a tube. 3M5200 same deal.. small tube at CTC is $20. I buy Sikalfex 1A which is a construction grade concrete expansion joint sealant which just happens to have a high peel strength on aluminum (with lab data to back that) at $7.50 a tube. Hard to find though... I get if from United Rental.. only place I know it's available and you can get it in limestone that blends well with aluminum... just remember you need a good cross hatch with scotchbrite if you expect it to stick well and takes about a week to full cure.

Well it was taken seriously... it just got off track. This question has been asked 50 or 60 times here. I'm tired of typing, at least, my answers. Hit search and enter leak. If you're not willing to get the floor out of the way to buck the rivet then then only choice is to drill it out and use a blind "tank" rivet in the hole... or do as duckdog stated smear some 3M5200 over it...or Sikaflex 592.. or Sikaflex 1a. All will need you to scotchbrite the area around the rivet real good and clean with acetone if you expect it to stick for any length of time.

LOL... I'm thinking a lot of people have been blocked or been laid off, as I was away all day and there was only about a dozen new posts from 7:45 am to 6pm !... or maybe it was just me being away...

Well it would have to be a stocked lake as Lakers are, unfortunately, closed in Zone 11. And Pike don't open 'till 3rd Saturday in May... unfortunately... it leaves me nothing to really fish for when I get to the cottage on the 10th of May.

LOL... I got some of that epoxy crap for my birthday. Maybe I should try slapping it on as a repair on the next $200,000 floatplane thru the doors and see how it fairs. Better make sure my liability insurance is topped up first...

Pretty soon we'll be fishing with the rubber test plugs that used to come with reels in the 70's Bill... so enjoy it while you can....

How far do you wanna go David??

Rob... get back to work... you missed enough of the shift already standing out in the parking lot from 1 to 2 ... LOL

I got my boat out on Saturday... but the water's still a tad hard to go fish from it...

I know where he is... lol Send me a PM.
