  1. Why not get teak oil? I do my furniture set each spring at the shore and it lasts all summer. I also use on the boat coaming boards and it lasts about 3 months then scrub across gain with ammonia and reseal. If you want to seal it use Semco teak sealer. The boat deck surface lasts a full season in salt water conditions with lots of fish blood having hit it.
  2. Ken, Did you have any input on the ipe on the Ocean City boardwalk?

  3. look at this

    tunatussle replied to dlech1825's question in Residential Pressure Washing

    If you are ever asked to wash the bottom of a boat with bottom paint make sure you have a tarp under the boat to catch any flakes. EPA doesn't like curious oxide on the ground.

    John, Which Jersey shore are you going to? I am down in Ocean City for 2 weeks for tournaments but do not fish every day.

    No, Bait And Switch.
  7. I would like to know where the lumber was purchased. If it was from the south (New Orleans area) there was a lot of stuff in the water from Katrina and some of it may have found its way into the wood.

  11. A builder erected a fence and drove the posts into the ground with a tool that uses hydraulic oil. The oil sprayed all over the gel coat on my boat. Any ideas how to remove it? Boat soap does nothing, softscrub with bleach barely touches it. I do have pictures but cannot get them to post. Tried rubbing compound but there are faint marks left.

  16. Engine wont start, can you help?

    tunatussle replied to Mark Williamson's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance

    Welcome to E-10 ethanol gas, did you put gas in since last May 06? If you mixed with MTBE gas you probably have sludge in your tank and carb. E-10 "scrubs the tank and all residue in the tank is emulsified. Also E-10 absorbs water.

  17. Eliminate Gas Cans ?

    tunatussle replied to Jim Eme's question in Residential Pressure Washing

    Get a marine catalog from Boaters World or West Marine or other supplier, tanks up to 175 gal any size you want. Be sure to get spark proof motor (marine) or BOOM.

  18. used hoses

    tunatussle posted a topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance

    Any ideas on how to use old hoses that have blow out holes? Hate to throw out if I cna use them for something else.
  19. Is this a rural area with well water? Only ask because you said a vacation home rented only 35 of 52 weeks.
  20. Cover it with 3/4 tongue & groove plywood and fiberglass the entire deck, any color you want. Replace the rails and spindles with vinyl. In the end it will be cheaper and outlast anything else you do. We do them all the time on beach front houses.

  21. inverter vs generator

    tunatussle replied to jnoden's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance

    A 3000w inverter would put out about 1500w, as they are quoted at surge power. I tried a 2000w inverter on my boat for a 750w microwave hooked to 2 type 31 batteries, it did not work. Besides a good 3000+w inverter is about $600 same cost of a 2000w generator. The longer your feed line wire the more you lose in power from your battery.
  22. Beth & Rod, Do you have to deal with ethenol in your gas yet? We are on E-10.
