Re: Removal of Barrier Coat

Terry, I am new to this stuff and can only go by what the PO has told me. Perhaps I misunderstood and the yellow is antifouling and the greyish underneath is barrier. Not sure. I just know it looks bad, is coming off, and it is very rough. I would like to get it down to the gel and then redo everyth...

Re: New Aluminium Trailer ?

Versatile,
just to let you know, I just looked at mine and my axle set up is exactly like that in the pic. Mine was a late 2007 deluxe model. Timmay!!!

Re: New Aluminium Trailer ?

Something I just noticed... My trailor has wooden blocks on both sides of the rear supports, his looks like it doesn't. This would definately cause more weight on the center of the axle. http://173.10.138.105/timmay/images/boat/compare2.jpg It might be hidden by the tarp, but where are the front sup...

Re: New Aluminium Trailer ?

I just merged my photo with his to compare. Looks like there are differences... Almost looks like his upright is not boxed, but that could be the pic.

Re: Removal of Barrier Coat

Thanks Paul,
The only problem I see with that is that the coat that is on there seems to be very bumpy to me. Should barrier coat have the texture of an orange or should it be smooth? Timmay!!!

Re: Anyone ever use Zaino on their hull?

Little pricey true, but some Z2 and accelerator would be about $35 and you could prob get about 2 applications of a couple coats. I just don't know how it would stand up to the moving through the water. Seems to me it could work very well. Timmay!!!

Re: Removal of Barrier Coat

I went to their website and did not see any instructions or chemicals for removal. I do have a 2000 psi pressure washer, should I just use that to take as much off as possible then wet sand after that? What grit should I use for the finish? Sorry for so many questions, I have never worked with fiber...

Anyone ever use Zaino on their hull?

Hi everyone, I am a huge fan of Zaino Car Polish and have read that some people have used it on there boats. It is not a wax but a polimer. I can tell you I have always used it on my cars and it is sooooo much better than wax, IMO of course. It is also much easier to apply. I use it on my Camaro tha...

Re: Boom vang - how to make & attach

Dave, Check and see if you already have a hole in your boom. My vang had never been installed and I had the same question until I looked at the boom and saw the holes were already there. The bottom of the vang connects to the baseplate of the mast, you can see a "lip" with a hole at the en...

Re: New Aluminium Trailer ?

I almost never have to MAC bump but I do sink the trailer and float the boat on and off. It is a bunk trailer not a roller trailer so it is not designed to pull the boat out of the water. The trailer must go to the boat not the otherway round :P kadet, Could you expand on what you mean by the trail...

Re: New Aluminium Trailer ?

Versatile; You are as frustrated with your trailor problem as I have been in believing your claims :!: Yes, I'll be honest with you, I did not believe a word of what you were saying because I have a 2007 M26 with the deluxe aluminum trailor with surge brakes, boarding ladder and galvanized torsion ...
