    Help with Wiper Blade that has the attachment that connects to the arm

    I am looking for help with finding a replacement wiper for my 2007 Tournament 275. I have read that the Anco 52-16 is common. My concern is all of the pictures I see has just a small nut, bolt and plate with it. My wiper actually has a broken connector that seems to go to pressed shaft (not...

    Mounting Trolling Motor on a 255

    I have Stealth1 charger on my 275 with Twin E-Tec G2 200HO's. Only one of them is in circuit with the 36V batteries while charging my starter battery. Between the offshore round trips I have not had to top off with shore power. I typically run at least an hour each way and several smaller...

    275 Freedom Performance etc

    I strongly recommend you searching this message forum and others on the reliability or lack there of with F350's. I had a single 350 and had to repower. I chose to add twin Evinrude G2 200HO's and I get the same economy but superior performance. Hated when my 350 blew but am happy every...

    265 X - flat panel dash

    That estimate seems pretty high to me. My project for both panels and a bunch more hole cuts was around the price you have for your one piece. Call them and ask for Rob Snyder and he can walk you through where the costs are adding up. In regards to the material, it feels more dense than...

    265 X - flat panel dash

    I just redid my helm on my GW 275 with the NewWire LuxMatte. It was a turned out great and they were good guys to work with. The LuxMatte comes at a premium price but for me it was worth it for the look and feel.

    Help with GT56 Transducer Location with Twins

    I finally got a chance to mount the transducer after letting the Stern Saver (mini) cure. Unfortunately I mounted the Stern Saver (permanently) too low and the transducer sits too low even at the highest point to mount. I went ahead and tried it anyhow and I have to say I was impressed. Minus...

    Yamaha 350 outboard

    The F350's have bigger issues than the fly wheels. The biggest issues I had was being in GA freshwater in January and the water freezing in the powerhead and poof. I would advise anyone to find an alternative to Yamaha 350s'.

    Help with GT56 Transducer Location with Twins

    I just received the transducer and will be able check it out tomorrow to see if there are any other options. I am concerned how close I can mount the GT51TH to the water pick-ups. I have to believe the pick-up will disrupt the water flow even fairly close to them?

    Help with GT56 Transducer Location with Twins

    Hoping for some guidance on where to place the Sternsaver and GT56 transducer on my 275. I was all set to mount just right of my drain plug. While I was getting ready to prep the area for the Sternsaver I noticed that the water pick ups are almost right inline with where I was going to place...

    Rhodan on a GW Marlin

    Both the 84" and 96" are 36v. I read on other forums they have a 3-4 month wait list for the 96" and that could be the reason it is not lsted on their website.
