Thanks for all the replies on trailer tires and boat polish!
OK, here's another question. Evidently on this Marquis 22foot'r, someone had either added a bow railing, or did some kind of repairs. I noticed inside the cuddy where you could see water stains, evidently from leaking though the edge of the roof cap. Not damaged but stains. On closer investigation, I see where someone had run screws into the cap and all is solid. BUT! Underneath the railing supposts, it's just metal to fiberglass and nothing in between. *ugh!* Which I find quite odd. I an thinking there should be some type of gasket material in between, like plastic, rubber or the sort, to keep water from leaking in. i know, these mounts come in all shapes and sizes and finding and giong to a dealer and saying "Gimme some railing gaskets!" wouldn't go over very well. Is there any source on where to go for this kind of stuff, or do you make you're own? I can make them, I suppose but I didn't really care to cut up an old truck mud flap, (well, maybe as a last resort) ?:-) And I would like to make it look like a neat factory job, instead of cobbery. What do you all suggest? Thanks! |
