Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)
I just noticed some screws in your rigging hose at the adapters. That to keep the hose from coming off? I might need to do that on the motor side of my boat and never thought of doing that.

Kevin, those are 1/8” aluminum pop rivets.
The hose that came with the bezels was slightly larger than the barb section and wanted to come off.
I’ll dab some black paint on the rivet heads to make less noticeable.

The trailer was looking shabby so it got some paint.

Re: ‘89 HST rebuild ( Blown out bottom)
Figured some striping would look nice.
A friend gave me a roller striper. Thought I would give it a try compared to brushing.
This thing is amazing!!! Load the reservoir, set the guide and go to town. Nice clean lines. Took 30 minutes.
