WINNER....Thanks Misshydro. That did the trick. Looks clean, easy to remove to replace, and the perfect dampener. It's on all my boats now. Curious how it reacts to water.

Well, the car door trim was too big in diameter and I looked around for the chip guard but couldn't find it locally. Saw a bud at the lake with the foam rubber strip door seals and that seems to be a good way to go. Off to Lowes.

Shoot me a PM if you want to run. I have 4 great spots and run with the Balto Club. Let's get together and shred some hydro. I run gas but if it floats and goes let's get it out there.

The woman would have left me after shelf one. Speechless.

Thanks guys. I'm gonne stop by the auto part store to pick up some trim (ehhmm uh door edge trim). Preciate all the help. Yeah, that silicone idea is a good one...innovative. But I can see spit from my carb gassing it up and peeling off after a couple outings. Thanks again.

That's the word I was looking for chafing. I am trying to visualize your idea. So I run a bead of silicone along the edge of the cowl. I put the serran wrap on the inner lip of the hull (Maybe secure it with a little tape) and place the cowl onto the boat. I guess I could just put silicone...

I just wanted to see if any of you crafty people might have an answer to this. On my gas hydro, I have a cowl that rides on an internal lip/edge/ After a good day of running you can see the edge of the cowl is eating into the lip of boat and creating a groove. Before any serious surgery needs...

Welcome aboard Cap'n. The waters warm.

Another brother in the sport gone. Sad to hear. Condolences and prayers.

So the boat ran over its own sponson and is named after an ex huh? Nice to meet you let's start a self help group. My name is Mark and it's been 4 days since my last "incident". I like Ron's idea of telling people that your boat lapped itself. LOL! Now that's funny n I don't care who ya R.

Sorry gotta ask....How can you run over your own sponson?

This is my favorite RC boat video of all time. It's sick, well thought, out and the dunk is my favorite part.

I realize now how stupid it was. Kind of like smoking cigarettes. Everyone knew it was not good for you for so long, but until they really hammered it home with add campaigns and fining the heck out of the tobacco companies, in turn raising the price, people kept on smoking. Now, smoking has...

Ok relax. Man I am just bringing up a topic. If all this is known about such a harmful substance, why is it such a common material to make props out of? An alloy can't be produced that doesn't cause all this? I mean, props are sold to the public raw. We all know they need to be balanced...

I just want to lay this out there for anyone that was thinking about working there own prop. DON'T DO IT. I like the idea of buying a raw prop and thinning it out and taking off something here and there to get the RPMs up. But I guess it's not worth it and I see why people pay so much for...
