October 5, 2025 at 12:25 pm #300351Thanks Dave.
Im in Canada and marine engine doesnt ship to Canada. But if they did with the exchange and shipping that would be a $200.00 piece of cork!
if i can find a good candidate i will scuff it and reseal with SIG Supercoat. Just need to find one?

October 5, 2025 at 1:01 pm #300353I hate how others buy up new old stock & triple the price.
October 5, 2025 at 3:22 pm #300354Ya me as well. I can understand if its an external part that might make your project look really good, you might go the extra expense. But a cork float for $200, no way.
but having said that there is probably people who will pay!

October 5, 2025 at 3:26 pm #300355I have made many floats for the TN-TD motors. Hard to find corks big enough for the 58-61 series motors.

October 6, 2025 at 11:22 am #300392Is Arthur Simler still making 3-D printing plastic floats for these? That may be a good option for Boonie!
