I'm 18 and leaving for the Coast Guard at the end of this summerBefore that though my father is handing down his 12 ft aluminum starcraftIt has a 8 hp evinrude motor on it and I want to purchase an electric motorCould I have some guidance on how to or maybe some suggestions on a good budget electric (trolling) motor?
I also have a 12 foot boatI use a transom mounted trolling motor with 30 pounds of thrust, which is great plenty for a 12 foot aluminum boatYou can find a new 30 pound thrust motor, either motorguide or minnkota, starting around 90 dollarsI prefer minnkota, however, small transom mounted motors are basically alike no matter the manufacturer.
You'll need a wet saw to trim the tiles, you'll need flooring cement or caulk to affix the tiles; you'll need to cover the bottom of the table with something - masking tape? to prevent the grout from leaking throughOnce the grout has dried, It should be safe to remove the tape or whatever adhesive from the bottom of the tableI wish you well.
I love to play with tiles so I've scammed alot of things to tileI would add a wood top cut to size (seal it well on bottom before you add it onYou could glue it down and also screw it on from underneath or from top of you sink screws-locktite glue or gorilla glue is greatWatch gorilla glue as it does expand-ie;put the wood on the groundd, glue the table upside down to the wood and let it dryUse sanded adhesive/grout for both things-if its going to be outside make sure there is a latex additive in it but you can get it premixed in you home storeI've used the locktite adhesive too-its great for glass and then grouted itI alwatys use a good 5 year sealer when I'm done.
If your mesh is too course to hold a thin set type addhesive,which it sounds like it probably is.Take a finer galvanized screen on top.Space the two apart at least 1/4.Make sure when you apply your thin set, that addhesive is pushed thru all the way to exsisting mesh.Clean off excess addhesive under the table before it dries completly.you might have to sponge underside with a very wet sponge.To make it all even through out.This will have alot of waste.But you will have one tough table.Seal as normal exterior tile after grout.
