    Help finding rubrail insert for older 1988 Offshore

    Mudwasp had a post on here that he was able to find the rub rail and insert for his boat. I have pm'd him. I have a 1988 Offshore and my fiberglass guy installed a white insert over the navy blue rubrail. I don't like the look, it marks easily, and it can be pulled out with my fingertips. He...

I am going to use Pins 1,2,3 to run power up to the gauge, and pins 4,5,6 for the tank sending wires and 1 wire to sending input of gauge. Yes, gauge is analog. Trouble was I did not try this configuration thus was not getting a...

    Wiring to Fuel Main/Aux panel switch on helm

    Can someone please explain to me what I am doing wrong? I bought a on-off-on rocker switch, double pole double throw to replace the old Grady White Main/Aux Fuel switch. Am I connecting these wires correctly to the back of the switch? Thanks for any help. The finished product looks like this:

    Repair hatch with no wood??

    Hi Mike: Same problem here. It seems you know what to do with the edges. See my pics. I sanded/grinded down to good material. Be sure use a respirator, safety googles, and long sleeves. Fiberglass dust is nasty, itchy, and you don't want to breathe it in. Then I used Epoxy mixed with cabosil...

    Recoil Rob: I know that they used the same gelcoat, I read that here a few times, and that is a great price. I will be calling to NJ dealers to see if I can find a price like this today. I am wondering however if your glass guy still had to tint further the gelcoat to match the 2004 paint job. I...
