LoopyO, in my 2011 225, as stated by Hookup1, the drain tubes attached to the bow cup holders run through the carpet holes into the bilge.

Does anyone know how to remove this cosmetic steering wheel hub nut without scuffing it up? I need to access the real nut that holds the steering wheel in place to remove the wheel to check a fluid leak.

GW started using XL Greenwood in ‘97 or ‘98.

I have a 2011 225.I’m 6 feet and when standing at helm, I believe I’m looking over windshield. Sitting in helm seat, I’m behind the the windshield. I’m very happy with the boat.

Greenwood XL plywood started in 97 or 98, I believe. It’s no rot wood, not composite. The wood itself has a lifetime warranty for the wood itself, no labor or other materials, warranted by Greenwood, not Grady.

I've ground it down to bare metal best I can, coated with epoxy primer and will top coat it with matching Imron.

Armstrong bracket rep says paint it because continuity flows through the attachment bolt secured with a nut and star washer on inside of bracket.

Good point, but I don't understand why it was painted at the factory.

Thanks for the responses.

Thanks Dennis. That sounds simple enough.

Does anyone have any suggestions on vinyl repairs for small cuts or tears? My affected areas are in seats and bolsters that are not easily removed so I'd prefer to try to repair it myself.

Good question.

Looks similar if not worse than my 225. I had to lay on my stomach, reaching out to lift batteries , tilt them forward and out of the opening. Scraped some of the insulation off of the cooler bottom, but managed to get them out. Glad I don’t have to do it often.

Go through the menu and hit reset.

My 225 has an Armstrong bracket/platform with the same plastic plug on underside. First time I removed it with a wrench, I inadvertently rounded it to where I needed pliers to fully remove it. I replaced it with a generic PVC threaded plug from a hardware store. Though it seems to fit properly...

Thanks. My senior memory is slipping a bit.

Is the Sea Star steering fluid the same as that used in Bennett trim tabs?
