The forward bilge area, if full of water, will not run to the aft bilge unless you keep your bow up at its highest point for a good while when you are under way. The tube(s) that allow the water to drain from front to back often get clogged up pretty good making draining occur a lot slower. One...

no kidding huh? so your saying i can use only woody wax on the diamond pattern stuff on the cockpit floor and i wont have any deaths on board this summer?

Thanks for all the responses. I am going to experiment with a few of those options. I have also talked to a friend who had this happen and he told me I can scrub all I want but after a few weeks out on the water, the sun will bleach the stains right away as they did to his boat. Most of these...

Spent HOURS cleaning my '90 Gulfstream with bleach and water and a product called Grease Lightning which worked very well. I also used Magic Erasers. Everything came out perfect and bleach white. I did the whole cockpit area including floor, baitwells, livewell , fishwell etc.... Well, that was...

*UPDATE* The dealer I talked to was incorrect. You can indeed bring the elbow with hose attached out thru the inspection plate. Also, I talked to a Grady dealer today and took his advise and here is what I did. Bought a new inspeciton plate, traced it out in the fishbox bottom close to the...

just talked to a local dealer. he says that the drain is inserted from inside the fishbox and pushed down and that your idea wont work. Let me know if this is indeed correct.

DirtyDog- thats the best idea ive heard so far. questions: will the elbow get ruined doing it that way? Have you seen or tried to access the thru hull that the sink drains out of? its on the port side at the waterline. i peered down thru the inspection hole located to the left of the sink in...

Ok. Mine is a single 250 suxuki 4 stroke transom mounted. I have the transom drop down door so that explains my 2 extra scuppers. Now as far as thru hulls. I looked on the web for them last night and found a large variety of types, sizes and such. I saw plastic, bronze and shiny stainless...

Hi Jim. I have a '90 Gulfstream 232. I too am looking into replacing all the thru hulls. Are you replacing the above and below waterline or just below the waterline? Do you have a macerator ? I have a total of 5 on the port side and 5 on the starboard side and 4 sucppers on the transom. On the...

When I talked to Neil from Grady White he advised not to mount in front or behind the washdown pickup. Also, my marine electronics + installation shop advised the same thing. This is all why I asked. =)

I'm wondering if installing it in front of the washdown scupper/pickup changed your washdown flowrate because of the slight air pocket that would form between the two.

Anyone else have a Furuno 1724C Radar/Plotter? Im brand new to radar and was looking for some tips on what settings to use for gain, sea clutter, precipitation clutter and A/C SEA and stuff like that.

Here it is at http://airmartechnology.com/airmar2005/ ... &PageNo=67 Has anyone else had one installed? Mine is going on my '90 Gulfstream and i have a few questions. Where on your boat was yours installed? Do you get readings above 20-25 knots? Did you notice a big difference when and if...
