Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The mount should have a screw through it holding it to the deck just to secure it before bolting through. Get the mount off the deck and strip off the carpeting from the bottom. Buid a new mount, reinstall the carpet, and make sure you seal all holes with silicone sealant when you reinstall the motor.
Polishing compound and a wheel will work well on the gelcoat. Move the wheel in easy slow back and forth motions applying polishing compound when it gets dry. Buff the boat, and use a high quality sealer wax. |
