Re: Best way to wash canvas covers?

Thanks all for the advice, hopefully I'll have some better "after" pics than the "befores" ;)

Best way to wash canvas covers?

Hi all, any ideas for an easy (or not so easy) way to clean canvas? While my bimini top looks like it was hardly used by previous owner, the boot, and the 2 other canvas covers need a cleaning. I was hoping to resurrect them on the cheap before investing cash that could be better spent on crabs ...

Re: Glad to be back in the water again

Thanks Jackb - needed a little help from You Tube, "How to remove a corroded boat steering wheel, etc...". Note the rubber mallet on the dash 😉

Re: Glad to be back in the water again

Thanks Big Block for pointing me in the right direction - this wheel is a GREAT alternative to the original. Let's hope I installed it correctly!

Re: Glad to be back in the water again

Thanks Krob, and yes you are right - way back when, my Caravelle was ok for 3 to just get out on the water and enjoy some skiing, docking up at crab joints and such. But this is definitely a major upgrade!

Not sure about the SD, but the SX is definitely an I/O, unless my paperwork is wrong! As far ...

Re: Glad to be back in the water again

Hey thanks for doing that A7 - looks like a boat again! It's got a Volvo 5.7, GXi, and compared to my old 19' Caravelle cuddy (that sometimes required a live body on top to plane out) this thing flies!

Cheers!

Glad to be back in the water again

It’s been almost 20 years but I’m glad to say I’m back in the water again! This time with a well maintained 2005 Cobalt 24sx, so far it been great.

The one thing I’d like to replace is the steering wheel, any good leads would be appreciated. Sorry for the rotated pic technology is what it is ...
