Unfortunately, I can’t offer any advice on your problem, but you might get more visibility if you start a new thread asking for help. It’s easy for help requests to get buried in this thread.Ticked off a couple of projects today:

Installed a Gator Guard Keel Shield (still need to clean up the wax marks and seal).

Pulled the jets so I can swap the stock impellers out for altitude pitched. Everything was going well until Murphy's Law kicked in and I snapped the very last bolt head holding the port impeller housing to the transom plate. Tried vice grips, some liquid wrench and heat -- can't remove it. Even if I can, I'm worried that the transom plate threads are going to be stripped. Any thoughts here?? An OEM transom plate is $166, so not the end of the world...but hoping to avoid if possible.
Have A LOT of sanding and sealing to do. PO had her in salt.
Cleaned the engine bay and treated all the painted parts with Reload as well. Then coated the engine and accessories with CRC.

Ceramic coated the wake tower and soundbar with Dlux from carpro. I generally have all their stuff on hand, hence why I use it a lot. That and I love the stuff. Really makes that yellow look dripping wet.

Little windy today so some dust settled on this before I could get a pic.

Yes I am literally OCD......if you haven't figured out by now. Drives my wife insane. HA!
Yup was reload as well. I have long arms and just laid on the engines. Could get to everything from there.Looks great. What did you use on the engine compartment fiberglass? Was that also Reload? Do you climb in or do you use a detailing tool/trick?
They've started a marine line of sorts. I haven't looked into it myself. Reload is a spray sealant, much like any other on the market. Easy to use and good protection. Not sure how it'd handle salt as I don't boat much in salt. I use PERL mixed with water at a 5 parts water 1 part PERL solution on all the seats. Best glass cleaner I've ever found is 3m glass cleaner. Soap I use meguiars hyperwash in my foam cannon and also in my buckets. Use PERL on the tires as well. Adam's polishes paint sealant on the trailer. Only real sealant I have that's not in spray form.I started looking into carpro products last night, after @suke’s post. Looks like they have a marine sealant as well... but all of the variations of their stuff is a bit overwhelming. Maybe when time permits, he can chime in with a getting start guide for us novices
Installed the @Cobra Jet Steering LLC Super Magnum AK-19 Deluxe with Fangs to my 212X. There was a big difference in the amount the starboard side nozzle was angled toward the center than the port side from the factory.
We can't wait to get out this weekend to see and experience the difference!
I've got those deluxe fangs to install on mine - what size Allen key do I need for the steering bolt? Looked bigger than anything I have in my toolbox.
