Can't say I've been on a sail boat for years. However, I have purchased two of these units and had trouble with both of them from the start. In both cases, the problem was with the 12V side. This is a great concept, but I think it needs better quality control.

Yes, I bought one to use on my Pearson 31, it works great have had no problems so far. Make sure you have enough space to put it, including space to open the doors and access the inside, also make sure to secure it so it does not shift when heeling over. I also installed a dedicated 12 volt outlet for it, install as close to the batteries as possible and use adequate size wire, my existing outlets had too much voltage drop to power the unit.

Go to an auto body paint store and get tint from them usually it is free. It works great on a boat. Just make sure you clean well and scuff sand. Both aluminum boats and over gelcoat/fiberglass. I live in florida and i have done 1 truckbed and 7 boats with this product. All of my customers have been extremely happy with the end results. Just make sure to pull tape when its still wet and give ample drying time. Its best to mix all parts in a paint bucket, clean one of the containers and fill that one to use to avoid color mismatching. Best of luck.

Yes. I used it on my jon boat. Just etch the boat with muriatic acid and prime it first

I am not certain that you would be able to get the sailshade taut enough...You may want to think about some other alternatives

I have only used it on Sunbrella marine fabrics. It works amazingly well for that application.

I have not, but I agree to have boat place or sail shop do the repair. I will be strong.

We use it on all canvas applicatuons on our houseboat. Some are vertical surfaces and some are horizontal & everything in between. We reapply each spring.

I think it would work well. I have a 12 foot, 135 lb sailboat on it and it works great.

I used it on the bottom of a aluminum boat and it worked fine..you must sand and prep first. If your usingit for a big crack use a thicker marine epoxy first then sand then apply its kindof a thin liquid but its strong and dries flexible. It was ill definatly seal leaking rivets and is easy to use..

I'm not certain it would fit your application. I really love the product, but my boat has a 1" rail for it to attach onto. The item clamps on then you need to put a bolt through it on the bottom side. I'm not certain this would be what you want to do or not. Hopefully this helps a little.

I used it on my canvass boat cover. Works great. On the bottle it says multiple uses to include marine canvass, convertible car tops, furniture etc. So I have to believe it's go to go for you.

Although I haven't, I searched "how to put motor on inflatable boat" & there's people that did! I watched 1 on YouTube & a couple blogs. For the great price of this one it's worth trying & would be pretty cool to see it go! Though this is coming only from my experiences with putting them on bikes & some intermediate yachting understanding. If you do... All the more power to you!

I have! I use it for kayaks, paddle boards, and a sailboard, and I honestly haven't had any problem at all. Either pull the foam all the way over the corners of the frame to give it more grip or lay a folded yoga towel (my wife's idea) across the frame and make sure to bungee fairly tightly when you use it for the boards. Also place the frame about 2/3rds back and lift the front of the board, it won't work very well if you try to place the frame in the center of the board. Hope that helps!

I have used gluvit to seal the rivets and seams in a 1957 vintage Lonestar aluminum boat. The product is excellent and sealed everything. It is known by fishermen who have aluminum boats as their righthand man. It takes about 2 days for it to totally dry in 70 degree weather. It is not as fast a drying time as epoxy. The mixture of the hardener is critical and it can be rolled or brushed on wood. Because of its slow drying time, it may not be what you would want to use on a deck. Good Luck.

Yes. I use it to keep mold from forming on my 25 foot sail boat. But it does generate heat so you will need to take that into consideration.
