Re: Type of screw into boom.
Well a rivet mit is a perfect solution.
But: You get a really big hole in the Alu.
Maybe easy would ne normal rivet. Just watch for the perfect length.
AT the end you stay with a screw... Easy...
Problem... What diameter the hole has to be. Just test out.

Re: 10 "Banned" DIY Repairs That Will VOID Your Boat Insurance
well, theory or did you do it? I have a LiFe directely connected to the OB, works since 4 years now. I use a LiFe Y PO4, Winston battery. There is absolutely NO electronic inside, no switch. So an unexpected disconnection will not happen. The voltage of 14.5V is perfect for loading it. Overheating d...

Trailer: Rotten woods
Hello, My original trailer (2 axles) has been standing outside for over 10 years now. The wooden supports have rotted away. Obviously, they need to be replaced. How did you do it? What kind of wood did you use? Or: A one-time solution: Could aluminum profiles be used? Then I would have peace of mind...

Re: (Which) Dinghy for the Mac?
Hi Ixneigh! Just a thought… Up north on our local lake an enterprising guy took two matching single place plastic sit in kayaks, added plugs to the openings (to seal them up) and bolted a plywood platform across to join them together. He uses it for several functions such as paddling, rowing and to...

Re: (Which) Dinghy for the Mac?
Rowing an inflatable can be difficult. Especially difficult if there is a strong wind. Another thing I do not like about the EZ boat is the oars. They seem poorly designed and unfold to create a surface. I would search for reviews of owners who have actually used the boat. Sorry what do u man with ...

Re: (Which) Dinghy for the Mac?
important question for me: How big has a dinghy to be (ROWING! not motoring). Should take 3 people. So can you do it in 240cm/7.87" or is it too small? I don't know yet the brand will win. The technique from EZraft ist interessant for me: Outside dacron/sewed, inside the tubes that holds the ai...
