The clear-coat is gone all that is left is pigmented flake in clear resin you can put the clear back, but you will just have clear over what you have faded red flake with silver edges, but it won't...
you are into the flake. flake is colored on the outside and silver inside the only way to get the look like under the letters is to mix new flake in clear gel and respray then cover with more clear...
PS the thing needs a handle on the head too slick to grab to stow and an extenion to the foot release. Going to add a kayak type handle when out of warrantee.
Love my xi5 didnt like the petal at first but got tired of having to grab the hand held to move. after loseing a foot pedel overboard sinks like a rock, i was able to find lighter springs at the...
do you need one? I removed mine when I installed aftermarket seats with handles you would actually use.
Just my 2 cents make sure you are getting gel and not paint most shops want to use paint for a quick easy buck. gel is labor intensive and usually not cheep.
You should be able to buy the GPS unit and install it yourself When I bought mine it was an option you could add.
I do not know about your set up,But my son has a Tesla car and it recomends that the cells not be charged above 90% on a regular basis due to reduced battery life. Maybe the charger is smarter then...
Went to the classic venue all displays were the same old design. Talked to the sales kid.I inquired if there were any inprovements to fix the current design problems (no lift handel, foot release...

Yep been using them for years on several boats pull the rubber out and throw it away! wench down the cleat lock it in place and use it like a cleat works like a charm no rubber no lube needed:nanner:
I do not know if they are the same but my 2003 195 VSI is not made to have carpet just non skid on the lids and I love it!
They are built in the shop with and exactly like the boat, Yes gel coat! If you want problems clear em. Just my 2 cents. if they are flake and you can't feel the rough flake maybe you can sand and...
I used line x light grey on an Astroglass it filled the gaps good but the uv was not good. It turned lime green in the hot sun, that being said it is still better then wet rotting wrinkling...
I did this several years ago to a fiberglass astroglass rivel. I was disappointed with the Line x material it was a lite gray and ended up turning lime green in the sun poor uv stability.Other then...
How old looks like a mid 80ish. I have seen several in much better shape at the 3500 price.I would say run fast run far this boat would only possible worth what the motor would bring. It appears to...
Hi
I am not an expert by any means but I have a lot of on the project experance. That being said you will not see any of the scratches from your sanding thru the clear gel.I have had adhesion...
Hi
sorry to hear of your plight.I think most of the sugestions of using a patch would desolve or not stick.I don't know how you would get to it, but after figuring that how about using a brass 1/2...
Dan, I contacted ranger .The repair shop was very helpful, but have no clue as to my issue. The tech there said they spray black gel to back up their red flake repairs using a binks siphon type gun....
Thanks Dan
I did sand into the flake in some places and just scuffed in others.I added about 3oz of flake to a quart of clear from ranger thinned with styrene.
The under color appears to be just...
Great information, just as you have said most of those in the know are not willing to share.
