Thanks for the response - no barnicles! Never a problem until this season. Boat is kept really clean but something went wrong over the winter. Boat had been wrapped and on blocks. Then unwrapped, serviced, and slipped. I try re-flushing...thanks

Grady 208/F150 owner here - I keep the boat slipped, and as I was washing and waxing the boat for season - I noticed the starboard transom drain/scupper was not draining. I inserted the hose into the drain opening to force water out thru the scupper but water backfilled onto the deck. I then...

I've tried to mount the Edson Powerknob using the supplied straps to the wheel, but can not get either (of 2 supplied) strap to cling tightly enough to prevent twisting the knob off center. I've tightened and retightened, but soon after, the knob twists off center. I've noticed that on the...

Guys - I had stopped by my local marina (Ragged Rock - Old Saybrook,CT) for a general chat and one of the maintenence guys had mentioned that he repaints the bottom of his boat every few years or so - here I am having the boat repainted the start of each and every season...I was told that...
