Painting a Yamaha Outboard Motor Cover Like a Pro

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

Painting a Yamaha outboard motor cover like a pro.

After 5 years of my first video, it’s time again to give a better image to your outboard, with little money (and some hand) can re-let your outboard motor as the first day !

This time we will use the original Spray F30-F350 Yamaha Grey Metallic 1 (YMM-30400-GM-10), stickers and also spray paint top coat (YMM-30400-TC-10) to get a professional look.

XS Rigid Inflatable Boats: How to Repair a Tube

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

XS Rigid Inflatable Boats make commercial and ceisure RIBs, with PU (Polyurethane) or tubes.

A lot of people say it is very hard to fix OLD PU boats, this is not true and we show you here that the process and glues used are the same as you use on Hypalon.

The boat we use in the Video is 25 years old. In addition to making new boats we also offer professional repairs and re-tubes of all makes of craft in either PU or Hypalon.

What You Need to Know When Repairing a Hypalon RIB Tube

Karel Overlaet, RIB Advocate

“The original repair was for a few pinholes that we got when we ran up on some sharp debris close to shore in our Highfield hypalon Rigid Inflatable Boat. We used the 1-part M.E.K. based repair glue that came with the dinghy to do the repair and I did wrong things … Up to a professional!”
