I don't think the maintenance is any different on the mechanical motors except I would inspect the shift & throttle cables and grease the linkage. Maybe empty the ash tray and see if the lighter still works... a picture of the page in the manual would help.

Get a gallon of epoxy and a quart of hardener and the pumps. Get some high densiity filler and some low density "fairing" filler. You can't go wrong. You own a boat...you will use it.... Start buying Won Ton soup for lunch and save the containers. Cheaper than buying mixing containers. You...

So, you have a typical grady SeaV2 hull. No steps in hull. what I'm saying is you can mount just one GT51 thru hull on the centerline. here is my 265 (very similar in size to your 271). I cannot see any good reason why you would spend for two GT51s. I can't imagine that you don't have...

No need to buy two GT51s. I have a GT51M-TH on the centerline with no fairing. Works much much better than a TM at speed. But a TM works perfectly well for finding wrecks/rocks and you would save money. I think your perfect choices would be a GT51M-TM on the centerline for bottom fishing...

My V20 already had the scuppers out the sides but I did move the deck drain from "in the deck" to "on the bulkhead". This was because there was always a little wtaer that would not go down the drain due to the lip of the fitting. If you move the scuppers, you have to get it right. look at the...

the rings are supposed to squish. I never use a torque wrench on plugs...1/4 to 1/2 turn past tight is what everybody does. Like seasick said, with the new vs reinstall... If you don't get your torque wrench calibrated evry year and after evrytime you drop it, it is really just wishfull...

yep, they are designed for UW recording not live video. Probably best to go with the thing designed to do what you want. Here in NJ a look-down camera wouldn't be much good with the visibility. Over the years I have some great UW video & pix with a Hero4 using half a fishing rod as a stick...

Dual Prop zuke 300 or 350 would be a good choice for a single setup.

Interesting thing about the relief maps. Here in NJ last year there were a lot of those hi res scan tracks added. It looked like they probably came from the offshore wind surveys because thats where they were. They tow a sonar array that scans a wide swath much like your sidescan. They...

I would take a look (or ask someone here) and see how well they have covered FL west coast. There might not be enough good hi res bottom shading near your port to make it worthwhile...yet...

What is the resolution of the Relief Shaded MAP? doesn't matter what res your screen is if the map is less. I have spent hours on my couch looking at shaded releif on my iPhone 13. At full zoom, the shaded relief is pixelated. I'd rather be on the boat looking at a 12" mfd. I'd rather use the...

So what you are seeing are tracks of newer higher resolution soundings super-imposed over older lower res soundings. There are not streaks on the bottom. Old soundings are "smoothed" and lack details that might be there between passes of soundings. Also remember, the "shading" is a visual...

I think the main point is that you have to run the "fattest" thing first. Once the plugs of the cable are thru, the wire is not so fat. Other things will then pull thru easier. When rigging my hardtop, I had to remove wires to run the ethernet cables(biggest ends), then put hte n2k and power...

You already pulled the old ones out? Don't the ends unscrew? you are talking about shift & throttle cable?

oh! Trailers are not Titled in NJ. If you bought a trailer you WILL ABSOLUTELY need the Certificate of Origin. If you don't have it you will be in for some pain.

Its my understanding that most states will require registration if the boat is slipped or moored for 6 months or more within the state.(even if you move it around) I hear there are a lot of unscrupulous people out there trying to register in a cheap landlocked state and slip their boat...

I understand your delema. I have some vertically challenged fishing buddies. Looks pretty low. I would be weary that 6' tall people like me would get brained when stepping up. And rods may be low when setting hook bottom fishing.

idk if its a big conglomerate. Seems like a young mom & pop from the interactions I have had with them.

here are a couple Youtube videos of our fall striper fishing. Jigging off Long Branch Live bunker off Bay Head

I would probably not dig into that. Dunno what you gain replacing the whole bulkhead. If its really soft where something mounts you can cut that section out and glass a patch piece of plywood in place. Or glass a piece of plywood to the outside and mount things on that. Then just glass over...
