I'm not quite sure I understand. Is there or has there been, some form of rule breaking displayed in this thread? If you're eluding to the links I've linked about how the different types of seams are sewn by a given company, I can't quite see the issue since I'm not or never was trying to "sell"...

SOPOPONTOON, The highlighted statement above reflects EXACTLY why I posted that video earlier. I have had upholstery work done and have done some myself. Quite often, upholsterers cut corners to keep keep costs down. And that means doing things AND SEWING SEAMS in such ways that yep, it will get...

Hey SOPOPONTOON, Well, far be it from me to tell you that those appear to be a very weak seam in the upholstery business. I'm not an upholsterer. I have an industrial compound walking foot sewing machine and I do dabble in sewing. It's more or less just a fun hobby for me. And from what I've...

Unless they've developed some sort of space age material that absorbs heat and turns it into a cooling affect, I can't even IMAGINE how hot those black-ish seats would be in our Havasu sun, YEEEEOWWW! And while I'm no chemist or coating specialist, to the best of my knowledge, it doesn't matter...

Well, I'm no expert on warranty term length but, being it's an '18, that's a 7 year old boat so, do you have factory or extended warranty on it? If not, good luck trying to get the dealer to anti-up for that repair. I've done a bit of heavy duty sewing in my time and without seeing pics, it's...

'Well David, If you can't find what you're looking for, I might suggest these. They are stainless steel formed clips that spring clamp right onto your square tubing upper rails. As you can see in the pics, I've sewn some webbing to match the length needed for those fenders to sit in a specified...

I surely thank you for the tips, very much appreciated. Now, as for the mystery on how that fitting got bent. Well, I looked and looked and for the life of me, in the onset, I could not figure how in the world, that fitting could have got bent in the manor which it was. Then, while sitting on...

Hey Fitz, I certainly appreciate your input here. And I surely appreciate all your knowledge and experience in the mechanical field and world. Even though I was only a mere fireman for around 30 or so years, I did have a chance to play on a lathe once in a while due to my overtime job of...

Well boys and girls, It's all done. After watching a few dozen videos and reading the Seastar manual and instructions, it's all bled and I've got a new fitting on the cylinder where the damaged one was. While in reality it's not a hard or even overly technical, there is a method (or two or...

Well, Not to be argumentative but, as stated, my Seastar system with electronic power assist in our '14 Benny 25RCL with the Yamaha 5.3L V-8 350HP, has had ATF in it now for at least 3 years and there's been no catastrophic events or failures, no massive leaks, no drop in performance, and...

Hey guys, I surely appreciate the advice here. I sometimes get impatient. I did cruise over to The Hull Truth and poked around 'till I actually found exactly what I was looking for. And that was/is a thread on bleeding the system. The problem with that particular thread is, about 80-90% of it...

Wow, no one's worked on or bled their hydraulic steering systems? Scott

Hey Gang, Been a bit since I've been here. I have a kind-a weird situation. We came home from a 5 week RV trip recently and in making my rounds of the house etc. I found that there was an oil puddle under the very rear of the center pontoon on the concrete. Obviously it's not the lower end of...

Well, Here's how our battery system looks in our '14 Benny 25RCL. It came with 2 batts. I don't use the tops of them because they don't fit all that well. Scott
