    Wallas Troubleshooting Help

    Never, EVER heard of ANYONE turning their Wallas into a "non-electronic" operation. When the problems start they can get very finicky, your idea of pulling it at this point is probably best or replace it with a new one. Good LUCK! If you were in the US most people at this point send it to the...

    Changed my Drum brakes to Disc

    Hi Will C, My problem was 100% the piston not moving freely back into the caliper because of corrosion. This was also what Kodiak told me they weren't surprised about. I was cleaning and regreasing my wheel bearings when I tried to back off my pistons and discovered the problem with a couple...

    Another Non-Skid Thread

    Yes, I definitely sanded off the the previous work first. I experimented a little bit at first and could tell where the shop had gone wrong. if i didn't push down real hard on the roller you got the same crappy pattern that the fiberglass shop did. Lots of pressure on the roller was the answer!

    Changed my Drum brakes to Disc

    My $1000 Kodiak disc brake system change out is now having problems. Pistons won't retract and I've already had to replace one set of disc brakes with there top of the line all stainless steel units that set me back $500 for just one axle. Their tech support wasn't surprised and said I did...

    Another Non-Skid Thread

    Finally tackled this project last summer and got some BEAUTIFUL results that look FACTORY! Much, much, better than a shop I won't name in Wasilla, AK who looked at the original non-skid and said it would be easy to reproduce (before they screwed it up royally) Wanted to pass this along because...

    Best filler to replace balsa core

    This project is now complete. Mixing small batches of 5 to 6 oz at a time seemed to help. I also think it was helpful to leave the epoxy outside overnight at 40 degrees instead of starting at room temperature. I didn't get a full cure until I stuck a 40,000 BTU propane heater in the open door...

    Best filler to replace balsa core

    On the way home right now from the four hour round-trip to pick up more epoxy in Homer, AK. No West system available only system three. No problem finding a similar epoxy but the filler was a little different. System three had a silica that I bought. I couldn't find what I thought was an...

    Best filler to replace balsa core

    Hadn't read the last post until now. Mixed up too much at one time and it ran away in my mixing bowl and now I'm out of epoxy. I don't mix peanut butter mixture enough to know how much filler it will take before hand. I had too much epoxy and was too slow adding filler to bring the thickness...

    Port side front window leaks on TomCat

    It's been 5 years since that post and I haven't had window problems ever since Diamond Seaglaze was great to work with and even had the technical drawings on hand for our windows. Replace the C-Dory mistake and dry up your boat!

    Cabinet Knob Source Help!!!

    Wow, nice to wake up to so many replies! My knobs are ceramic and look almost identical to the photos of the Canadian knobs that were posted. (Although not sure of the size) My threaded insert came out of my knob. I epoxied it back into the knob, but shortly after the expoxy actually gave...

    Cabinet Knob Source Help!!!

    Hope someone can help me. I had a cabinet knob come apart and I need to replace it. I've walked the aisles of Lowe's, Home Depot and a local hardware store and still haven't come close. I'd like to have one that matches all the others on the boat as close as possible. Anyone know where to...
