    Saltwater use

    Get the Salt Away kit. That's what I use. I also use it to wash down the trailer (ours is galvanized). Cheap and works great.

    Help!!! <how to fix scratch?>

    Never used the Klasse, so I cannot speak of it's quality or ease of use. I have used several different types of waxes and was introduced to Collinite by some friends on another forum I frequent (Nautique/Correctcraft site). These guys have used anything and everything and swear by the Collinite...

    Help!!! <how to fix scratch?>

    The small dots could be whats called "micro pores" and it is a product of the off gassing of the gelcoat as it is curing. This is more common in corners and creases as the gel usually gets a bit thicker in these spots as its applied in the mold. The darker the gelcoat, the more noticeable it is...

    Help!!! <how to fix scratch?>

    Before you go hitting anything with wet sandpaper, try some polish or rubbing compound and a high speed buffer. Check the results and re-assess. If the scratch is still noticeable, you can either hit it again with another pass of compound or you can go ahead and wet sand and then buff again...

    Smart mat : yes or no ?!?

    I just installed our JBP Seadek group buy kit for our boat. I"ll never go back to snap in anything.

    My seats are turning pink

    I've used wet and forget on my roof and some spots on my sidewalk where we get a lot of mildew. The active ingredient is Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride. Not sure how damaging it is to the vinyl. According to this, not very, but I don't believe it's the exact same compound...

    My seats are turning pink

    That is most definitely mold. I have a similar issue in my boat. The mold is actually growing on the foam or underside of the vinyl. The sun will oxidize the mold and return the color back to white after some time, but until you stop the food source for the mold, you're problem will continue to...

    Steering cable Issue

    I just purchased an aluminum replacement lock nut for the reverse bucket cable, but while I was looking at what's currently there, I noticed my steering cable has been "modified" where it punches through the pump mount. I'm hoping whats under the blob of sealant isn't damaged. I'm assuming it...

    GoPro Drone "Karma" coming out Monday 9.19.16

    Has a lot to do with the number of views each video you post gets. As you acquire views, they add commercials which translates to money (adsense). Casey did a video a few weeks ago about a $21K airline ticket. I believe he made roughly $127K just for that one video due to the traffic it...

    GoPro Drone "Karma" coming out Monday 9.19.16

    Both new drones are pretty sweet, but if I were in the market for one, I'd go with the Mavic. That thing is beyond bada$$. This guy is a drone nut, check out this video: He also has individual vids of each drone by themselves. Here's the Karma as the above video is labeled incorrectly:

    Need advice

    I use a porter cable dual action orbital polisher. Got it from a friend who sells detail supplies. I use the 6" pads as well. The larger ones tend to sling more than I like. It has some weight to it, which I like and does an awesome job on everything I've thrown at it. I also have a high speed...

    Need advice

    Congratulations on your new boat. She's beautiful. I would like to pass on some info we learned after buying a black gelled boat. First, they fade quicker than most colors, so keep her covered and waxed as much as possible. We prefer Collinite boat wax. Good stuff ($18 at Amazon) . Fine...

    Hurricane coming , boat lift?

    Saw this today. It's a neighbor of a friend of mine. Apparently he didn't lift the boat high enough AND left it stern out instead of bow out. As you can see, not a wise move.

    What to buy. 212x, NXT20, Supreme S21

    A friend of mine had one. Nice boat, but I think you'd be better off with a jet or inboard/V-drive. Those regals aren't cheap and for the money, I think there are better choices. Just my $0.02
