Easily Remove Boat Mold and Mildew With Bleach!! - Bleach vs Marine 31 - Hobby Mechanic

I previously published a video using Marine 31 to remove boat mold and mildew. I've used Marine 31 for numerous years with no complaints outside of the high price.

      We still use it. I’ve been religious about ensuring the battery never goes completely dead over the off season. I assume if it goes dead for too long a period then you might need to replace the battery. Other than that, we use a nylon over the catch net to better catch the finer particles. We think it’s good for quick cleanings but still use our main pool pump for the bigger messes.

    • @thehobbymechanic47
      @thehobbymechanic47 2 месяца назад

      I applied the gel incorrectly in this video. I had the whole hood heated up in the sun which caused the gel to evaporate pretty quickly. It was stressful! If I were to do it again I’d warm up the graphic but keep the hood cool. I would use the gel again if I had to do it. I assume it evaporates slower than soapy water.

Its dome shaped to and drops off over a 100 ft hillside to another home below. As i was mowing that lower portion the other day my x350 got stuck and i couldnt back awsy from that precipice. I was scared to release my park break and tryin push it. I was afraid itd get away from me and roll over the mountain. I eventually decided to tun the wheels all the way to the left and tryin push it uphill. I used my foot as a chock to keep it from rolling away. I was able to get it to where i could get enough traction,but i learned my lesson. I cant risk desyroying a $4k mower. Ill be pushmowing that part of his property from now on.

      Hello in South Africa! It’s easiest to order straight from Riva Racing although I’m not sure about shipping to SA. There’s part numbers on the Riva Racing site so a quick internet search might find a more efficient means of ordering for ya. This is the part number for the speakers: F3Y-H81C0-T0-00. I bought those off of eBay. They’re pricey but pretty versatile. The mounts are included which make them pretty easy to mount anywhere and on anything. I hope you can find what you need. I’ve been happy with the Riva Racing package. I’d like to squeeze a couple more mph out of it but haven’t figured out how to do that yet.

      Unfortunately no. The box is crammed in there so tight you need to remove the passenger side of the metal lower dash. I had a difficult time prying the box out and putting it back in with what little I left intact.

    Great videos. Ive got a stock 2007 fxho cruiser - looks identical to yours mechanically. Im hitting 58 mph gps (loaded and heavy rider 110kgs) Going to try the free flow exhaust and filter as you have here and see the difference.

      There wasn’t much seat of your pants change with the exhaust/filter. Each little modification increases the mph though and the exhaust/filter was a pretty easy one to start with.

      @@thehobbymechanic47 Alright! did the grate, exhaust and airfilter - after a couple of runs looks like it has improved speed by 3kmph (to 59.65 mph) - not huge but consistent. Best thing about the exhaust upgrade is how neat it makes it inside. I carry an extra host clamp as the upgrade does now put a pipe join below the external waterline when you cut the pipe with the exhaust flange. However now I am getting a severe vibration at low speed and will low speed turns. Fine at high speed. Cant see any debris so Im thinking its worn impeller or pump bearings with the skis age. I wasnt planning on doing the impeller - but now I might have to take the plunge on that and use your video guide.

    Mine lasted a little longer than a year. It worked very well for supplemental vaccuuming in my 30k gallon pool, about once a week. Then the battery stopped charging. The problem is that it's very difficult to replace the battery on these; and if it craps out or you accidentally leave it charging for too long and it zaps the battery, then you have to buy an entire new motor housing with the battery in it, or just buy a new one entirely. Next time I'm going to make sure I get one that I can easily take apart and pop a new battery in. All that being said, it works great for the price, and if you have the money and you're not at all handy with taking things apart and fixing them, you could just buy a new one every now and then.

      Yeah, I’ve been religious about charging the battery. I don’t leave it plugged in either. I’ve had issues with other chargeable tools that have gone dead as a result of leaving plugged in. I’m guessing the manager stops charging at some point and never starts up again. Happened on a hedge trimmer and a Dyson vacuum so I’ve been down that road.

      @@thehobbymechanic47 Word up. A robust battery that doesn't suffer from that kind of thing is nice. I assumed that this one, being Li (lithium) would not suffer from being left charging for too long. I have drills and blowers etc that can be left charging for days with no problem. /shrug

    I live your Pool and yard. Just curious what state you live in. It seems it can’t be California. Don’t mean to be intrusive. Thank you.

    Just bought a 2007 Fx Ho with 117 hrs on it, and my wife and I with both of us on it hit 60 mph with almost a full tank. I am about to start putting on the RPM kit and hope to get it up another 3 to 5 mph. Great ski, love the way the engine sounds and runs its a wonderful machine, not as fast as my 2017 VXR and 2015 Fx Cruiser HO, but its fun to see how these different engines perform with upgrades.
