As far as regluing you have many choices to choose from, Hot Glue,
or if you went to most automotive paint supply store they should
have different products available. Also have you tried calling an
upholstry shop to see what they could reccomend?

Usually for multiple questions or subjects, we try to break them up
and keep each one in the appropriate topic.
1) I HAVE AM ENQUIRY ABOUT RE-GLUING VINYL COVERED SEATS TO A FIBERGLASS
HULL. WOULD USING AN EPOXY TYPE ADHESIVE DO THE JOB OR DOES SOMEBODY
KNOW OF ANOTHER KIND OF ADHESIVE THAT WILL KEEP THE SEATS STUCK DOWN.
Seats are normally secured to the floor with lag bolts or heavy duty
brass or stainless wood screws. I've never heard of anyone glueing
them down.
2) ALSO DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR AN OLDER MERCURY
50 HP(GENERAL TIPS).
For more info on outboard maintenance, type "DIR/TITLE=OUTBOARD". There
are several existing topics on outboard maintenance and repairs. Note 83
might be a good place to start.
3) COULD I PULL UP A SKIER WITH THE 50HP ON A 16FT FIBERGLASS.
Normally yes, if everything is in good running order and the weight of
passengers and skier is kept to a minimum. Skiers will need to start
on two skis, forget pulling up a slalom skier. For more info on skiing,
type "DIR/TITLE=SKI".
4) THE ONLY INSIGNIA ON THE BOAT IS A SCORPIO EMBLEM ON THE FRONT, DOES
ANYBODY KNOW THE MANUFACTURER?
Never heard of the them. I'd have to say they're out of business. Which
doesn't matter at all as far as servicing the boat, nearly every piece of
hardware used on a boat is available from aftermarket sources.

| 1061.3 | Velcro? | FSOA::PRINDLE | Send Lawyers, Guns, Money, and SOFTWARE | Thu Jun 03 1993 14:50 | 14 |
Rick,
I think the reference to gluing the seats are the front pads in a bow
rider. I had the same first thoughts as you.

If thats the case then I would say use velcro. They must have velcro
with a sticky side that can be put on the boat and sew in the other
half to the seat. That should help keep the seat in place and still be
able to remove it easily.
