Bottom Paint

What is recommended for RED bottom paint for use in relatively pristine fresh water. I don't need much in anti-fouling properties but do need it to survive immersed for 2-3 month intervals. Thanks.

rub rail

Where can I purchase new rub rail for my 1940 Model 17? It is 3-sided, 7/8". I believe it is referred to as Type "B'.

Storing on concrete

Seems to me I read somewhere that if you must store your boat on a concrete floor that you should first cover same with thin plastic sheeting. Does this sound right? Does concrete really absorb that much humidity? Comments? Thanx. Paul

gas tank removal

I got the tank out of my '56 Capri which I believe has virtually the same rear end as your Riviera. It took some work, but the tank did come out by sliding it alongside the starboard side of the engine. Of course I had to remove the seat back and the battery but that was about it. Good luck.

More steering components

I just realized that I need a tiller arm for the rudder on my 1940 Deluxe Runabout. The top of the shaft is a 1/2" square. All the arms I have seen are designed for a round shaft with keyway. You have all been so helpful, can I go to the well one more time?!!

Steering linkage components

Where can I find a socket assembly for the ball fitting on the end of the Pitman arm of my Gemmer steering box? The socket mounts on the fore end of the steering control rod. Thanks. Paul
