    Airmar B175HW thru hulll vs Airmar M285HW in hull Transducers

    read this https://www.airmar.com/Customer-Support/Connector-Guide I think Airmar now ships with their own connector and you get an adapter for Mfgers. B/M285 is CHIRP so it probably uses Garmin Orange 12 pin to Garmin MFDs Garmin also has adapters for various pinouts. There is always the...

    Yamaha Extended Engine Warranty - Is it worth it?

    The fine print often excludes a lot of the catastrophic stuff you think you are protecting yourself against. You still have to pay for the maintenance. So either you definitely spend $2500 and maybe get more than $2500 worth of repairs or you maybe spend nothing or < $2500 or maybe >$2500...

    Airmar B175HW thru hulll vs Airmar M285HW in hull Transducers

    B175/B285/M285 are the same functionally except M does not have water temp.(your GT51 will give you water temp so thats not an issue) Do you currently have an old thru hull? If so, replacing it with a B285 will save time and money and get rid of the old thruhull. Does yor Sailfish have the flat...

    deck plate gelcoat color

    oh ok so you gelcoated the deck hatch and installed a Tempress hatch into it. You were talking about that in another thread. Just get a scrub brush and warm soap & water and then scrub with acetone and gelcoat it again.

    Is there a place to get actual dimensions on various models?

    Dreaming about a bigger boat is always exciting. Been there done that. Moved from a trailerable 20 to an untrailerable 26. Glad I did it. There is a lot that goes with having a bigger boat and it all costs money. Twin motors, twice the fun.... 3 feet in boats is a huge difference. But 275...

    Reseal bolt penetrations through fiberglass and all deck areas

    I have hit all of those areas with silicone or 4000uv. I suggest replacing the motorwell pie plates with the screw-in type. I worry a popped plate is a sinking. The deck drain hoses to the scuppers should be inspected. If they are only half as bad as mine were, they need replacing. Here is a...

    WTB Garmin 24 Fantom Dome Radar

    I did say very latest, not current. Garmin has way too many models out right now. My guess is something's going to happen. Especially if, as you say, 943xsv is being sold at discount.

    WTB Garmin 24 Fantom Dome Radar

    You have to watch out for the differences in what is being sold. The included Maps, transducer, etc. Some 943xsv might be same model but older g3 maps. 943 has been bundled alot with the older radar and I have seen variations in maps and transducers. Sometimes the transducer is not included...

    1998 263 Chase deck repair

    If you are going to gelcoat, use polyester resin or otherwise you have to prime with an epoxy primer before gelcoat.

    1998 263 Chase deck repair

    He means how wide is he going to grind to be able to tab back together. Generally you want 3" on both sides but there is no room on some edges. The wider you go, the smoother(less noticable) the faired finish can be. You are going to cut the top glass off and not go thru to the bottom glass...

    Transducer (s) for 330 Express

    each NSS evo3s has two sonar ports. It can run the old B60 but the B60 is "traditional "CW sonar 50/200kHz 600w. I would keep that and connect it to one of your units It needs a 9 pin connector. You might need an adapter. I am not familiar with Simrad. To get the benefits of the built in 1kW...

    200 HPDI Yamaha Two Stroke Gas

    If you are in a marina they are not going to be happy with you fueling from cans. Check your rules. Same gas. Major brands of gas have the same additives equivalent to techron/ring free Many marine fuel docks are 89 octane which is part of the reason they are so expensive. There is no need...
