At what speed is it not tracking? Low or higher speeds? If it at higher speeds it seems something is moving the motors, ie not holding them in place. Any loose mechanical connections ? Have you tried to use the trim tabs to stable it? On one engine boats it is a real headache at low speeds and...

I planned on mounting TV antenna (not factory optioned) on port side of hardtop where I currently have a WiFi antenna (not in use) . Looked at how to get cabling down to Helm area where I have TV mount just above cabin (not inside). Ended up scrapping idea and have a "mobile" antenna now sitting...

Ok, I don't have an overhead box at all, all is in or behind the dashboard. And of course the chases are jam packed. A 335 so some goes into or through cabin and head. I'll work it out one day but for now TV antenna is "movable" sitting on cushion on top when in use. See other post as well. H

Looks good. How did you snake the wiring down? That seems like the hardest thing and I gave up on installing TV antenna for that reason. H

The monel staples may be hard to find. Don't remember where I got mine but that was only one size and now I would get some other sizes to stock up as well. Any suggestions for source (have not looked around at all) found some on Amazon but they are of course marine priced. H

Usually if they seize all you need to do is to free it up bath it in a penetrating oil bath and scrub with heavy duty brush or artificial steel wool etc. but not steel as it would easily "shed" and that rusts immediately. As long as the motor is working the screw can most of the time be easily...

Good questions, one being 56 is no age for "my last boat" I am 72 and traded boats for a bigger (lot smaller than I once had) now GW335. Not big difference to previous 31ft Pursuit but the BEAM is the main advantage making it a lot more stable end enjoyable for cruising with people. Main...

UShip is a service that offers bids from different carriers who are connected to it. It is not just one shipper.

Actually, Suzuki may have double rotation twin props, they would neutralize the steering to be the same in both directions I think.

Remember that the motor is going to be harder to steer in one direction than the other. Prop turns one way and there is a fin normally as anode on motor cavitation plate which is adjustable to neutralize the prop induced force. If it comes loose or gets pushed over it may change the behavior...

Is the pump running, it sounds like you lost the power part of steering if there is a hydraulic pump in the system. I f the pump is not running then the steering would be hard and it would be a significant difference to the normal force needed to steer. Check the pump first (and of course if you...

Agree, get out there and the list will grow or be taken care of right away........ enjoy the boats. ps I decided to get some custom covers made for the boat (simple stuff) delivery time 3 months!!!!!!!!!! So much for enjoying them this summer.

Hmm, that made me wonder. I would have assumed that both batteries always are charged when running the engines. All motors have alternators I assume so in my case there are three of them. On AC charger side there are several outputs from charger so essentially one for each battery bank (group)...

So what is the buoyancy of the boat waterlogged? It obviously flipped and the seas were not that high so something else must have contributed to the capsizing. Or then the boat does not sink but does not offer "comfort " when upside down, noting to hold onto as only the bow was visible. We...

Autopilot is a piece of software within the Yamaha package. Yamaha uses Garmin MultiFunction Diplays MFD. I have a Raymarine electronics package and my autopilot is Raymarine with also its own display on top of the MFD integration. The newer Joystick HelmMaster EX has the autopilot integrated to...

I am recalling from my old 2004 boat that refrig could be turned off by turning thermostat to 0. Otherwise there usually is a separate switch on breaker panel for the refrig as it is a big power hog and seldom used. It takes too long to get cool when going out for a day and unless you have a...

The delay could really mean a bad corroded? connection somewhere and it will not let enough current pass to turn on spreader lights but enough for cockpit after a while. Try to trace the wires but it could be before or after switch or even at fuse scratch fuse surfaces / turning it etc. Boat has...

Mine sits on the hump a Raymarine Quantum 2 . It has a small wedge and could maybe have a slightly bigger one but for me it works fine. See my profile pix. H

How about the brake controller???? The rest of the trailer Suspension/axle sleeve seemed pretty rusted as well, how was the frame or is it aluminum? Buyers beware is good advice. H
