My bad...

Although I do know the neighbor kid who's about 6' 6" and doesn't weigh more than 150 pounds. He does have freakishly long arms....

On another note: What's the best way to remove cured 5200? Acetone?

Razor blade.

I don't think acetone will faze it.

If you soak the bond joint for a good while with acetone, it will "loosen" the bond, but it's still work to get separation!

I've just removed an old transducer and the bracket was embedded in the stuff. When I pried it off, it even took some gel coat with it. I'm thinking acetone and a razor blade.

Heard tell this stuff works well..
When properly inserted.

Capt. Bob,

What kind of firecracker IS that?  Never heard of using such a firecracker on 5200, but I'm a quick learner.....

Nice unit..... :bom:

[Capt. Bob]

That would be the extended length version of the classic M-80.
Common name: "Crack Stick"  :bom:

Maybe I went to a different school but I don't think that is properly inserted!

I believe I could alleviate the improper insertion issue...

Meanwhile, back to boat stuff...

Anyone know what brand/model the scupper covers are on the Explorers? Mine are both missing and I'd like to replace whatever was there originally. Looks like there were three or fours screws holding it on.

[Capt. Bob]

Look like this?

It's what's on my 91 WAC.

I'm not sure since they are missing. I think I saw some sort of cover over them in a photo in the Explorer literature that shows up sometimes here.

Kinda magical  

Looking through the 97 catalog, it appears those are what was used (like the WM link).
While you can't see them on every model because not all have shots taken of the transom, enough appear to confirm that this is the type Aqua used. It's what was used on my 1986 170 and currently on my 1991 210. There certainly other EXers out there who can chime in.

I'm assuming you mean the scuppers that drain your motor well on the Euro Transom.

Bob C should be able to confirm.
