So new guy here with a question on my Sliding cuddy covers for a 1985 V20 Steplift. did they have some type of weather strip/gasket on them or do they just run fiberglass-fiberglass.

I have a 1978 and it is just fiberglass to fiberglass , I know sometimes it feels like it is scraping but that is how they made it. I spray silicone on the track to help it slide

Mine had a couple of pieces of black plastic strips that acted as a slide, they finally wore out and have been glass on glass for about 5 years.

Thanks for the info. I will clean it up and try the silicone spray.

the smaller one is supposed to be on plastic slides inside the big one.
Original was black "L" shaped plastic rivetted to big hatch
I used L shaped vinyl channel from HD

The big one just slides on the deck

What should I do?

My last trip out last year ( October) my motor started running bad, first we were going out and it sounded like it missed but real quick then about a hour later we were going to go back and she would not start, we tried and got her started but it ran bad like on have the cylinders , and the motor would jump like it was trying to run good, we got back and she runs good on land , today 4/7/21 I started her up and she sounds good , but something was wrong, what should I test or look for. I bought two switch boxes but didn't put them in yet. Any advice will be welcomed
