All finished with the transom project, turned out nice for my first time shooting gel coat, thanks for the input and suggestions.

well hot damn.  that looks better than new.  can i get some details on what products you used, etc?  i have to reshoot quite a large area in my boat and curious as to prep, etc. 

sadly no.  I've got my boat out in my driveway and my navigator is being torn apart in my garage.  New set of heads, cams, etc.  Been busy doing that.

you should have ball valves on your tanks regardless... if you get a leak you need a way to shut off the fuel.

simplest route:

These are extremely rare all in one trim tabs.  The pump and sender is all in one small unit.  No giant trim tab pumps mounted in your boat with hoses running everywhere.  No giant 33c cables running around with more holes in your transom for trim tab indicators.  They're about 10x12 in size.  Have annodes on the tab and the mounting plate in good condition.  Wiring is very easy, I used a set of relays with 2 switches when they were in my bahner, but I dont think I'm going to use them in my warlock.  Trim sender works with a generic trim gauge for your stern drive.







the part inside the boat (dont have a pic afterwards when they were wired up...)



video of them working...



Asking $750 obo.  Feel free to ask me any questions you may have as you generally dont see a set like these.  I've only seen one other picture of them and it was from europe.  I'm located in huntington beach, ca... prefer NOT to ship them.

That jewelry cabinet is beautiful. My wife loves hers. Nice job!

thanks.  still learning the whole wood thing.  most everything is dado'ed and rabbited... never had the ability to do that without the table saw.  still trying to learn all the tricks to make things strong and planning.  been watching a lot of youtube vids, new yankee workshop, etc.  havent got to the point where i cut everything and assemble, its kinda a measure and cut as i go thing and then realizing im missing a 1/16 somewhere.  haha. 

i actually had my seats done at fibertech in huntington beach.  it was pricey, and they took quite a while to get done.  something about a bunch of car shows and previous projects, blah blah. 





in the end here's my suggestion:

a1, martinez, etc do boat seats all day long.  they know all the little tricks as far as cupholders, storage pockets, etc.  regular upholstery shops might be cheaper, but you gotta give them *EXACTLY* what you want.  i gave them pictures of the seats that i wanted and they copied the design 100%, but none of the little things i had talked about were done, such as pockets in the backs of the seats. when i finally picked them up the guy was like "heres the pic, we copied that" so i guess i couldnt really get mad at them.

2 cancer survivors in my family... its a tough road but you'll get through it.  modern medicine is amazing. 

dumb question but wouldnt it be easier, cheaper, faster to just sand down to original gel while not trying to preserve it and lay down matching graphics?  it seems like a week has gone by and its still in the sanding phase.  it couldve been ripped down to original gel or even original glass in a day.  or is it the whole preserving the original and restoring it what you're after?  i see some spots where the sanding has gone too far and those areas will need to be retouched.  just curious.

orrrr twin turbo 555?

i had tweed and i would advise against it.  dirt gets stuck in it while trailering that otherwise would just be wiped off with vinyl.  also if you have snug seats the tweed rubs the crap out of your skin until its raw.  you'll always have em covered up with towels.

it fits...  time to put in work at night and get this thing done.

stuck it back in the driveway.  stupid street sweeping.  hopefully tomorrow i can clean up enough for me to put it into the garage.
