Installing A GPS Speedometer In Your Boat - Tips and Results
I'd been running without a speedo for years, but after getting some 'feedback' from the Coastguard after returning to the ramp that I was probably over the 5 knot limit I decided it was time to get a GPS speedo (From Amazon - amzn.to/2RKN8AL) to keep tabs on my speed. Here is my installing into a fibreglass runabout OMC Evinrude Control unit, and how it performed in the water.

Installing An LED Voltmeter In Your Boat - Battery Level Check
มุมมอง 31K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Was sick of having to second-guess the battery when starting the outboard, during a fishing or day trip. So I decided to buy a cheap voltmeter (From Amazon - amzn.to/2DExPnc) to keep tabs on the battery condition. Here is my installing into an OMC Evinrude Control unit, and how it performs.
Carpeting Fibreglass Boat - Interior restoration with marine carpet..
มุมมอง 45K6 ปีที่แล้ว
After repainting I was keen to install some marine carpet to make the boat more comfortable, less slippery and a little quieter when out on the water. I used Pacific Ribbed Marine Carpet (amzn.to/2NIAA7B) and Ados F2 glue (amzn.to/2xECm3C). I plan to continue sharing my progress of updating and restoring the boat into a more attractive, comfortable and safe vessel. Comments and feedback welcome...
Repainting Boat Interior - Fibreglass, cleaning, priming and painting.
มุมมอง 49K6 ปีที่แล้ว
The interior of this boat has over 40 years of scrapes, marks, dirt and water marks. It needed a fresh coat of paint. I did some local research and found Resene offer a three step processes for fibreglass interior repainting. Firstly you clean thoroughly with a cleaner and mould removed. Secondly you seal with a waterborne primer. Lastly you paint at least two coats with a waterborne enamel wit...
Restoring Vinyl Seats - Cleaning, Repairing and painting.
มุมมอง 31K6 ปีที่แล้ว
The original vinyl seats had held up surprisingly well. There was the odd tear, but the main issue was dark staining on the white. I had tried cleaning, but with little success. So I decided to repaint with black and white vinyl paint (amzn.to/2N39cAn), as well as patching some of the tears and re-glueing to the base. After some painful masking they come out looking brand new! I plan to continu...
Removing A Vinyl Stripe Decal From Fibreglass Boat With Caramel Wheel
มุมมอง 58K6 ปีที่แล้ว
The original three-stripe vinyl decals that ran down the sides of the boat have seen better days. They have perished, become brittle and in some parts have rubbed completely off. I needed to remove them before restoring the gelcoat and replacing. Wheel available at amzn.to/2QXxgrn After some research I decided on try a Caramel Wheel aka Toffee Wheel or Adhesive Eraser Wheel attached to my drill...
Replacing Broken Steel Winch Rope With Synthetic - Fiberglass Runabout Boat, Fleetline Sapphire
มุมมอง 13K6 ปีที่แล้ว

Buying Your First Boat - Tips and Advice
มุมมอง 41K7 ปีที่แล้ว
A run-down of the tips and tricks I learnt researching and buying my first used boat - a 1978 Fleetline Sapphire 4.5 with an 60HP Evinrude outboard. In the winter of 2016 after considerable research online (particularly The Fishing Website forums www.fishing.net.nz/forum/) I purchased a 1978 Fleetline Sapphire. It's a Rex Henry model made by his Fibreglass Mouldings company in East Tamaki. It h...
Thanks for sharing, that looks great!
Same decal is my pride cheetah
that's a slow boat my seadoo boat does 65mph
Do you have friends
How is she holding up now? Chur
Still total solid - not a scratch or a chip to be seen!
멋지네요 very nice video
Awesome thanks mate. Just purchased my first boat yesterday and already stripping the inside. I’m in New Zealand too so works out awesome to see some familiar paint brands haha
what is the result after all these years?
Still looking great!
My speedo meter shows gps then after 3 seconds it shows err
How has it held up? At the current price of syn winch rope, this route is the way to go.
I was hoping to see the final final job with the carpet etc
Wht a bag of shyte
Very nice ride👍
Nice. How are they looking now that its 3 years later?
Was just coming here to ask the same thing!
We have a problem at our marine where one of our new boats ledge wrap won’t come off and was wondering if that it would work on that
How much did u pay for her mate I’m after boat about the same size as this I’m looking for 1 now
You'd pay around 500 for a unregistered boat
Sorry to much talking
Horrible explanation. All you need to explain is how to connect it. I didn’t understand a single thing you said because none of these steps were needed.
Music choice stinks
Hey man what happen why you not uploading no more
This was great. Thank you 🙏 We'll be purchasing one of these tomorrow to get some vinyl stickers off our van.
How has the paint held up? Still recommend? Cheers
Is it still working? Does the unit cope well with the heat generated by the engine? How long did the battery last?? Wow!!!!! enough with the questions already!!!! Let me know pls, thanks mate.
How'd it hold up after a couple years?
Probably not real well. All this stuff is just temporary fixes. I would have saved a bunch of time and sprayed them all white. Then no masking and if they had to be done again in another year, easy to do.
I love your video thank you .what is the name of the rubber and where can I buy it?
Caramel wheel
Your crickets are killing my ear drums.......WOW there high pitched !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In another video using the same speedometer it updates very slowly, like every 2 seconds. Is that the case with yours?
A heat gun is faster. Get one end lifter up and start heating and lifting the vinyl. It will release and pull right off.
Not sure if I mentioned it in the video, but tried heat-gun first and it didn't work. The vinyl was attached over quarter of a century ago and was too hard and brittle.
People always trying to battle wits and dont know shit
With old pin stripping a heat gun would damage the gel coat. Heat guns might work on an automobile but can damage the gel coat. 3M eraser wheel is the right tool for the right job.
3:49
Talk too much
Can be 24v?
Hi there, I want to buy the white... can you please tell me if the white is ‘stark’ white, or is it slightly warmer than that?
It was pretty stark, it certainly wouldn't be confused with warm/creme.
Heat gun or hair dryer and pull. Only use wheel fro chunks and small pieces.
Use heat gun
Could this harm my atv plastics as I want to take off my warning stickers
Keep the wheel slow and you will be fine.
The videos are great! Just wondering if there will be anymore coming soon
How much coverage did you get per can
I used up both cans. I could have stopped earlier with the black, but hit it hard with the white to cover any marking.
Shaky Shed my seats are all white, so do you think 1 can per seat will work
Yup that would be ample. :-)
Shaky Shed thank you
What gauge wire did you use?
hi mate, I'm refurbishing my old speed boat, wondering if I bother laying a vinyl/carpet down on the floor or would a paint like these provide enough grip and protection from the fibre glass
With any grip additives (which I didn't use) I prefer a carpeted finish. I have another video on that.
Hi mate great video, yeah I was thinking of doing the same thing with the carboard template, my only question would be gluing it down, did put glue all over the surface where the carpet was going to go and then put glue all over the carpet and then install it , or did you roll it back and do the back half and then the front half?
Do you need to sand fiberglass befor primer?
No - paint product said simply to ensure surfaces were well cleaned. Primer and paint has keyed perfectly.
Your exactly right BM, not even a degrease, down the track that paint will be flaking off everywhere as there has been no physical bond to the original two part polyurethane paint. Good luck bro
My speed meter start to count but can't find gps signal
If you have an air compressor, an air drill would be perfect for a job like that...
Thanks!
am i hearing a fellow kiwi 🤙
Why does every use one hand to open and film the video. Not cool
What gear ratio is your winch, 5:1? Do you find it ok? I’ve just brought the same boat, really enjoying your vids. Cheers
Boat finished?? Any updates?
heavy Marine stock of marine GPS speedometer and tachometer
I tried this and it just left yellow Mark's on the paint
Still good results?
Yup - paint has keyed amazingly well - seats continue to be stepped on, climbed over, have wet ropes and ski toys dragged over them and they wipe down pure white just as new!
too slow dude use an Electric Drill
