The official "What did you do to your jet boat today" thread.

Wasn’t necessarily the boat but the trailer. Bent my trailer guide on my first time pulling out in a heavy crosswind. No photo. Wait, doesn’t that mean it didn’t happen? 😅

Dropped her off at Best4Less tire shop to have the bearings and breaks inspected. The trailer is very squeaky and is pretty much growling at me when braking.

Waited waaaayyyy too long for this simple freshness fix of ol’09 helm with new covers for rocker switches. All black, excellent visibility of labels in day or dark/lit, & 100% exact fit aftermarket cheap.

Super simple one I just took care of. The OE engine hatch sound deadening was starting to fall off to the point where opening the hatch was difficult because the foam would get stuck on the sides of the compartment when lifting the hatch. Re-spraying 3M adhesive didn’t hold it. Just added some fender washers and 1/4-20 nylock nuts to the studs that mount the seat cushions (they’re long enough) to hold the foam in place.

My wife was doing some stuff with foam like this, and I noticed a few things. She used 3M Super 77 for the spray adhesive. She would spray both sides of the items she was looking to fasten together. She'd spray any foam once, let it dry, and then spray it again. If it were a hard surface, that only got one coat - while the spray adhesive was still wet/tacky, she'd then smush the pieces together, and use some weights or hold it in place. It wouldn't take long. To me, it reminded me of using contact cement, like you'd use to lay a laminate countertop.

No idea if this would help, just relaying an observation.
