Not a good weekend for boating so I decided to give my boat a MUCH needed deep, thorough cleaning since I haven't gave her a good bath all season. Been too busy enjoying the boat on the water lol.

She's all nice and clean now :thumbsup:.

Scrubbed all the SeaDek with a brush and Simple Green...

Of course as I'm drying the boat off thunder starts to rumble in the background. Just got her back in the garage before the bottom feel out. Phew!

No pictures, but I brought the boat home from a week long vacation in Myrtle Beach. Now I need to clean it thoroughly!

(On Monday, I did this to my jet boat):

Rebuilt clean out plugs with new lower end caps and cleaned up wiring on spare DC circuits in prep for handing boat over to new owner.

Installed a new latch on my ski locker hatch, somebody I know ripped off the original one. I do like the double action of the new latch as compared to the originals single action. Makes it easier to operate and seal the hatch.20170903_152011_001.jpg

What did you end up going with? I had the same thing happen and have to replace one.

@ToddW850 I went with Yamaha Sports Plaza, part #16, not cheap, about $45 w/ shipping but the double action makes it better than the original.
