Anybody have an idea of run time from Kelly Park to this island. I have a 19ft bow rider and usually cruise between 30-35mph
Cale,
You are looking at two issues here - initial corrosion has locked the zipper into place and second, how do you prevent it in the future? As for loosening the corrosion now, get a can of Brute Blaster or similar penetrant at local auto parts s…
Ssomething strong enough to eat through the rust may ruin your stitching.
Have you ever used the website WWW.boatered.com ?
There is a canvas guy Mike Mcmanus who can probably help with your problem.
Cale, we feature some of our forum discussions on FaceBook and this discussion appears to have received a lot of attention. There are some great comments on our fanpage at http://www.facebook.com/BoatFloridaCom. Please make sure to also check them o…
yes they are metal. Thanks for the idea
You have metal zippers?
Try something that is thicker than wd 40 and let it sit.
Like a fool I didn't open my bimini top all winter. Now the zipper is stuck closed (rust) and I cant get it open. I've tried WD40 with no luck. Just wondering if anybody had any sugestions. Thanks
thanks

How long is your boat?
Use a magic sponge then 303 protectant.
If that does not work try Maguires 3 heavy duty vinyl cleaner.
I was given a gift a sonic scrubber. It looks like a giant electric toothbrush.
That and Maguires made my seats look new.

i have seen many boats well east of the ICW in the Indian River between NASA Causway the the next bridge north during launches (abean Tville). Are all of these boats in violation?

I have some fresh water boating friends in Orlando.I will pass your original post to them. In case they left the local area. Which is probably the case. Others should do the same, maybe we can cover the state at least.
good luck,
Rob
We haven't heard anything. Please keep an eye out, but the chances of getting the boat back don't look good. I hear that there have been a lot of problems at Lee Wenner with theft, so everyone be careful if you put in or dock there.
Plastic tank. Fiberglass would deteriorate and I believe that aluminum oxidizes. Not iron oxide rust but oxidation nonetheless. Boats made after 1994 are supposed to have ethanol compatible gas tanks. Do you agree? Do you replace the water separatio…
Janet and Dan,
What is the status on your boat? Have you heard anything?
I am still looking on the weekends.

Henry,
Saw your boat heading in at the port Wednesday. We had been out to 8A and points north of there, not a lot of luck, Cuda and sharks. Was looking to see how you did Wednesday for comparison, I hope your report doesnt depress me too much.
