What did you do to your boat today?

[jlcj7]

Installed on board charger

 

[Babin Farms]

Installed the Seadeck.

 

[waternutt]

No pics, but began removing old mat on swim platform to install new Seadek. Mats came up no problem but now is the tedious job of removing all the residual adhesive.

Eraser wheel works wonders

 

[waternutt]

I am using one, but there is some stubborn hardened adhesive that the eraser wheel is not able to take off. Hopefully another plan of attack will work.

Try goof off (NOT goo gone).

Acetone also works wonders on adhesive. Be SUPER careful with the stuff, though. It'll make paint chalky looking, and turn black plastic a white color.

Goof off? That's a new one - I've never found "goo gone" to work that great. Even letting it soak in, i still spend time with my fingernails trying to peel the a sticker off. De-stickering my daughters new water skis took me forever.

Swapped out the 4 cabin speakers next up is to swap out the swim deck speakers, add a second amp and 2 Rev10.

replaced both batteries, tried to figure out why starter would no longer work, debated taking it to a shop because I don't know how to use a multimeter very well, removed amplifiers that weren't working and cleaned out all electrical connections, realized I left one negative cable not attached to battery and suddenly starter is fixed!

Now for your next electrical gremlin, "Why's it seem like the amps aren't working anymore?" LOL

 

[WilCo]

the amps were rusted out pretty bad...don't know what previous owner stored in there, but pretty sure it was all wet!

 

[bronze_10]

Can u see the diff? I got a little work to do!

 

[bronze_10]

Ok... someone help.... this goof off stuff is gonna take days and days to get the adhesive off this boat... what else can I use?

 

[haknslash]

@bronze_10 Rubber wheel for drill, acetone and carnuba wax does good. That was the combo we used in my car detailing days and does a good job.

The rubber wheel works but I will warn you it gets HOT so keep that bad boy away from your skin. Sometimes the goo can sling off too and it may be hot. Been there and done that

Since you're saying that you're sanding it when you're all done, go with the acetone. It'll be the quickest for you. Grab a lot of rags, once a rag seems to be "full", switch to a new one. Trust me, you'll know when it feels "full", and from that point on, you're only gonna be frustrating yourself by continuing to use it. A roll of blue shop towels lets you see if you've missed anything, in case you wanna use those for your cleaning rags. If you want a spray version of acetone, it's naturally gonna be more expensive, but this is what I use for small jobs
