I used the low profile version from Gemlux, fit pretty good and seems to be a quality made piece. https://gemlux.com/collections/boat-deck-drains

might be able to contact gemlux and see if they'll sell any of their deck drain covers without the fitting https://gemlux.com/collections/boat-deck-drains

gotta agree with the Starbrite Mildew Stain Remover, that stuff really works effortlessly. I've got a canvas top that gets those black mold spots all over it every few months despite treating with marine water proof and uv inhibitors. Just part of storing a boat outside in FL.

Sounds like you've got the Armstrong bracket, if the transom angle doesn't work out consider A&J, they're in S FL. I picked up an A&J bracket for my 24 Offshore a couple years ago, very happy with it and their service, they'll work with you on dimensions, etc.

There should be a long uninterrupted 3/4" pvc drain that goes from the cabin area bilge all the way back to the rear bilge. Plus a 2nd short pvc pipe between the two fuel tank compartments, and a 3rd short 1" pvc drain between the rear fuel compartment and the rear bilge that goes through the...

The big 4 bow bimini tops are pretty nice and fold up just as neatly as a smaller 3 bow, just make sure to stick with the lighter colors I had a navy blue bimini that was like a heater in the summer time in S FL. And make sure you get the height you need as well. The bang plate is the plate that...

did this same project last year, the deck drains basically disintegrated while trying to get the hoses off so be ready to replace those too. Found some nice deck drains from gemlux, they're stainless but not submerged enough to worry about it. https://gemlux.com/collections/boat-deck-drains

check McMaster, they've got a huge selection of random stuff like this https://www.mcmaster.com/knobs

Git Rot works pretty good too, very thin resin it'll soak it's way into the core nicely then harden. And pick up some cheap syringes from your local drug store. https://www.amazon.com/Boat-Life-Git-Rot-Penetrating-Epoxy/dp/B00144EN3Q

just replaced the brakes on both axles of my trailer - the rotors were in very bad shape, the brake pads with kodiak 'coated' steel backing plates were really bad to the point as the rust grows it would push the pads into the rotors causing the brakes to drag after the trailer had been sitting...

agree w both the replies above, but I've got the unique situation of having a new bracket that hasn't been mounted yet and the bolt holes for the new transom definitely don't line up with the old bracket holes. Was thinking of mounting it higher, I'll need to measure the height where the...

I've got a 1990 Grady Offshore 242g factory bracket boat, these were setup for a 25" lower unit. I'm about to replace the bracket that I had built for the 25" motor I've got but just ran across a deal I might not be able to pass up on a 30" motor. The bracket for the 25" motor is supposed to be...

It is some good stuff for removing tuff stains. Be sure to wax the boat really good after using as it'll leave the gelcoat unprotected & even more prone to staining.

You've checked batt. voltage at the batteries and they seemed fine, have you checked voltage at the starter motor? See if theres a difference between when the batt. switch is at (1) vs. (2) position. Could be a slightly bad connection at the switch, doesn't take much of a drop in voltage to keep...
