| Did you run the motor and check compression or was that cold? Paul, the compression reading was a cold reading. Years ago Dave Elsey and I did cold reading comparison cold compression tests on several different 56 cubic inch Bridgeport powerheads including pure SST 60, non rebuilt stock powerheads,... |

| The idea started about 12 years ago as an easy way for non professional boat repair people to do their own transom replacement using a liquid poured in between the inner and outer walls of the transom. You don’t have to necessarily remove the deck, but you need to remove ALL the rotten transom wood ... |

Getting to bare metal is the best way to get a quality long lasting result. Aircraft Ultra Paint Remover could be the solution. https:/... |

| I know in the T Boat group there has been a lot of engine building over the winter months. Several are ready to test and it will be interesting to hear the results.
