Zodiac Mark 2 Classic Transom Removal/Installation and Major Tear Repair pt. 2 #TEAMSEAS
Just an add on to my last post, we are completely surrounded by coral reefs so indeed a need for patching
Great simple video, I used to have a milpro 4.7m and had plenty of patches back in Australia but never did the inside patch, I live on a tiny island Anajawan Island now and just got given a small PVC rib which has about 40 patches over the one spot hahahaha and am just now removing them so I can redo apparently a large cut so doing the inside patch will be very valuable. I have only been using hypalon glues before and know the techniques are the same but would like to know a good pvc glue if you have time. Like someone from Fiji offered if you're ever in our part of the woods drop in! All free, food, beer and accommodation. Would appreciate some info on a great glue. David and Joannie Anajawan Island Beachfront Resort
Hi i have just got my hands on a zodiac milpro mk5 how do you rate them and what are the weak spots on them thanks ,great job again
Can't find it on Amazon unless it's 175.00
Isn't sold on Amazon unfortunately
I wonder what is Marine Grease that you used as I have found soo many different marine grease - is this silicone based or something else?
I really wanted to try to do this myself because I just picked up a Saturn today, but I don’t know the first thing to do! I was trying to see the tools that you used, but they weren’t listed. Is there anyway that you can give me step-by-step instructions? What do I need to buy to use? I need to get this ready within the next month.
hello my friend they gave me a zodiac 2245 from 1978. no air is lost but only the keel. do you think the boat is alive? do the glues hold up? I think it's hypalon. it's the same as the one you made in 79
superb i love it by the way which country are you from?
Up in Canada 🇨🇦
@@gashopperinc Are you employed or you run your own company ?
Great video and thanks for sharing! I was wondering on rub-rail repairs where only a small portion of the end is peeling off, how would one repair a section of it? I wouldn’t want to remove the entire rail. Can I follow your prep with sanding as close as possible to the glued on section?
You sure can. It recommended to do the whole rail, but if it's still strong on the most part, just do a touch up on the peeling section.
Is this a pvc
Very nice work thanks for videos 🍺🍺
What wax do you thinks the best for aluminum?
Hello. maybw you can tell how to remove the old glue? i have zodiac boat and dude begore me try to glue bottom of the boat but did terible job and i want to fix it like you did,but its a lot of glue residue left. please can you tell me? btw you boat fixing skills is on another level!!!
I have a 1986 Zodiac Mk1 GT. I need to repair a small leak on a seam on the cone. I can not seem to figure out if it is PVC or Hypalon. I have all the original manuals, sales catalogs, purchase orders, repair kits (glue is dried), but nothing states what this boat is made out of. Can you help?
good evening friend they gave me a Zodiac, I think it's a 1974 model.. it's a Zodiac 2245. it looks a lot like the one you made. I would like you to tell me what fabric the balloon is and if it's worth making it.
You need to get the trash out of MrBeast Company
hi there ..i have a 14 ' mercury ..i recently got a hole in one of the tubes and the entire boat went flat ..also i am able to fill the boat up using only one of the valves .. it has 3 like the boat in this video also 1 for the inflatable keel..the boat is quite old (15 to 20 yrs ..is it toast ?? thanks in advance
Well, it sounds like it's toast. The inner baffles have let go by what your saying since you can fill the boat with one valve. It can be repaired, but labor time to repair such a thing, is sometimes cheaper just to get new and have peace of mind.
But don't get me wrong, anything is fixable till it ain't.
I have to try your method of in stalling stringers, I was crying like a baby when I installed a floor on another brand. I do not think I deflated the tubes enough .
Can you give more i formation about that specific paint? And how it sticks after you deflate and inflate the boat several times
Hi! great video, how much would this cost to have done? I am not sure I am up for doing it myself....
Would have to see the boat to do an estimate for repairs.
no idea what you just did my man??
I do apologize, copyright music made RUclips overlap most of the video unfortunately. Trying to do another one to fix the issue.
Thank you! I think i need to find a rubber material to use. I used pvc and i think it is a little too stiff. It leaks bad until i put the cap on, much worse than the original diaphragms.
Thin PVC fabric is what you'll need. Also, thicker vinyl fabric works good also.
Too much work for the Alu floor.
What glue do you use. I have a zodiac fish and hunt and not sure this glue works work
Cool stuff. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you all for watching!!! Had to fix this video due to audio issues. If you have any questions or comments, please ask away!!!
I’ve been watching a bunch of your videos. I just bought a AB dinghy and it’s needing some attention, but still very usable in its current condition. I figured I would use it until it finished falling apart and then I would be ready financially to buy another one. Your videos have pretty much convinced me that that’s further down the line than I thought it would be. I’ve got 2 of the 3 chambers holding air, my next project is to change the valve in the third chamber and then to paint the bottom, it’s chipped on more than one rock but I can’t detect anything more than that and then I plan on applying inflatable bottom paint as it spends all of its time in the water and is kinda a hassle cleaning it about every 2 weeks. I’ve figured out where to get the seat holders and how to put new ones on thanks to your videos. There aren’t any tears or big holes, but it needs a paint job. It’s a hard bottom and a new one is ridiculously expensive and if I can get some more years out of this one, all the better. I’m going to sew up a “tent” for it to help keep the rain out… not for camping, but you never really know.
If I have a floor that is only coming apart from the tube about 10 inches on one side (not the direct front) would it still be better to peel it all the way off and re-do it all like you did here? Or if the glue isn't to bad elsewhere, could I just fix that one area. Any tips on how to tell? If its coming apart in one area is it safe to assume all the glue is old and shot?
Talking about what you are doing would be better than the music
Is that a long shaft?
hi may I ask you; what type is it? neoprene or pvc?
These boats are PVC fabric.
Just wondering how bad the tubes would need to be before repair was not an option?
Good question... well I should be doing a video soon on that exact topic. But a good sign that your tubes are finished is when the skin is badly damaged that you can see the inner threads of the fabric throughout the tops of the tubes.
I have a Quicksilver model QS330E. I was told to use RH adhesives HH-66 vinyl cement. So I ordered 32 oz of the glue will this work for repairing the Transom?
No do not use HH66. It's not made for PVC boats and isn't a structural adhesive. I know it's readily available on Amazon, but you'll regret using it.
BOSTIK SIMSON MSR Construction Adhesive SSKF is a Beast 🤌 I have old neopren boat with micro leaks. This thing saved me time and money ❤
hi..great video..one of the tubes is separated on my 14' mercury zodiac and the other tube is 75% still attached ...the floor is still attached to the transom..do i have to remove the floor boards to repair or can i just deflate and do the job with floor boards still in the boat..reason i find it very difficult to put flloor boards back into the boat and would rather not if i dont have to..hope to hear back soon
Yes, unfortunately you'll have to remove the floor boards to do that repair. It is an inconvenience, but has to be done to relieve tension on the fabric.
Glad, this confirms what I was doing. Re-Adhering transom to tubes and other parts - do you typically do a dish soap wash down first? I am about to grab demel - and sand down the old glue, and re-apply the two part. Then after cure, going to give the thing a nice scrub down - and add a UV protectant. The one you used on this video, a good application for Ocean environments or..?
I do normally give the boats a quick wash down to search for leaks and clean out any debris before any repair work is done. Gives less chances of dirt, debris and what nots from finding there way to your working area.
@@gashopperinc i figured the same thing and just finished scrubbing the crud out of entire thing with starbrite. Off topic, do you like to proactively apply a patch to an area where a tear/ deeper cut occured?
heyy great video but i spilled a bit of glue on my boat and now i dont know how to get it off maybe you have a tip thanksss
MEK or Acetone wiping to soften the glue and my have to sand it away, very lightly till you get to the fabric surface.
I have a 14 ft. novurania ( 1988 model canguro 420 gs / Hypalon) great shape/no uv damage but was stored deflated for 8 yrs. It how has micro leaks on all 3 chambers. Questions: How much should I pour into each tube and how long is the working time? Also how long does it take to cure/fully dry and how long to give it a 2ed coat if needed. Great vids...Thanks, Joe
Hey Joe. Generally a 1/3 of the bottle if sufficient. You want to coat the chamber walls so it can fill in those micro leaks. Dry time is usually 24 hours. But if it's puddled in the chamber and hasn't coated the chamber walls, it can stay a liquid for longer periods. Agitation and heat help cure this product quicker. Air and pressure are the activators to start the curing process.
@@gashopperinc Where do i buy this?
Nice video....what´s the type of glue you´re using?
Mainly Zodiac glue, but use others when Zodiac glue is backordered.
Bravo
Hi my friend I have zodiac FC 470 military boat have about 10 very small holes don’t no why this happened they told me I didn’t wash the boat after I took the boat aout of the water without washing the boat the salt dad the damage don’t no if this tru or not please advise if can be repair thanks
Anything can be fixed. Salt and UV can have drastic effects on inflatable boats, especially those with PVC fabric. You can always add an additional layer of skin to the affected damaged area. But if the skin is bad, then sometimes it's best to let it go instead of becoming a money pit. Couldn't tell you in your situation as the boat isn't in front of me to make that assessment.
Hey great video, I'm about to remove and rebond my Futura MK1 transom and was wondering how much PVC 2 pack adhesives I need to order? Thanks in advance. Graham
Depends on thenboat and transom. But would recommend Z7096 Zodiac glue.
What cleaning solution did you use?
Which patch kit and glue do you recommend for an Achilles SD124? I think it is hypalon but I’m not sure. Also, do you have a video on how to remove the wood floor from the boat?
really informative and you make an enjoyable video, cheers, one question though what glue do you use or recommend ? I have to glue the complete floor to the pontoons on a never used zodiac fh 12.6
Thank you. I try to be as informative as possible. I recommend using a 2 part glue. Zodiac or Stabond are the preferred choices here, we also work with Weaver when.the others on backorder.
I’ve 2015 ford explorer, I assembled the center console but I couldn’t find anything. Also I checked underneath the driver side seat there is black box module but I’m not sure belongs to headrest DVD.
Does anyone know how to adjust the volume on these?
You'll need an IR universal remote or phone with IR capability and app for universal remote control. Pretty hard to find the replacement remotes for these units.
@@gashopperinc That's what I'm learning 😵💫
I have a 1966 model just like this. Not polished but swirled.
Why don't patches come pre-sanded?
thank you gashopper inc.i save lots of repair cost.my highfield 290 is now in top shape.
