Re: Zincs- More is better?

The direct contact would be made through the spacers. The purpose of the gap is to allow more surface area of the anode (that is in contact with the hull) to provide protection. When bolted directly to the hull you have the exact same thing as what I am talking about, only it gets buildup behind the...

Re: Zincs- More is better?

I am replacing my anodes as well. I ordered some extra anode material to cut into spacers to put behind mine. I will drill them and use them like a washer between the anode and the hull. This will keep the anodes in contact with the hull where bolted, but leave a space behind them to allow the whole...

Swim platform paint

I’m in the process of building an extended aluminum swim platform for the 37 Marquis. Anyone have any pointers on paint to use for it? Powder coat vs Imron?

Re: 28 Sportsman for sale with aluminum trailer

CaptainAndy sorry for the delay. Mine is a 1990 as well. There is also an ‘88 and ‘89 (I think) 37 and 41 in my marina. What questions do you have? Im sure we could learn from each other. I have learned a lot about mine but still have questions.

Re: transom gate and swim platform

Jeboniface,

Did you mount the swim platform at the same height above the water line as the original or did you raise it at all? Planning on building one for the 37 out of aluminum. Haven't decided where to locate it yet.

Re: 28 Sportsman for sale with aluminum trailer

It's a great boat. I hate to get rid of it, but I just upgraded to a 37 Marquis, so it has to go.
