I installed the Johnson Pump model years ago and it is very loud. Mounted it to my helm area. Pretty sure I would hear it if sleeping in the berth. I have had to replace it once when I tested it and it was not sensing. The sensor has to stay clean also and you should check it periodically. For...

Hey Dennis, I just purchased a new Ongaro twin horn as mine finally just was not working well anymore. Installed it and wow, it is loud! Now, why is that? I took apart my old one and hmmm, maybe a good reason why the sound was muted! Now, the question is how to stop bugs from building nests...

Anyone know of or had any experience with a good mechanic in Morehead City area? Looking for one that is well experienced with the HPDI motors to help trouble shoot issue I am having with one of my motors that is shaking too much. I have tried a lot of variables and just can't seem to find the...

It gets very humid in summer here in NC. I have gone through many iterations of ways to keep the humidity down in the cabin and control mildew/mold. The dehumidifiers do work, rigged to drain in the sink, however I was only able to get about a year or so before they quit. But, I still had mold...

Forgot to ask, how to resolve the issue of blocking the nav light?

Thanks jsdull! Good pics and like how it lays in there. I like this better than making a plate to mount under the pulpit. Just seems easier to do. I need to collect the information on how to do the rail cutout and parts list/source to add to my plan. I also wonder about the batteries. If going...

It is easy to install on a flat bow, but still no one with a sailfish install?

Ah, yeah, I get constant surprises when working under the deck. Just pulled the aft floor panel to change out the primary 1500gph original bilge pump and float switch, repositioned my backup 2000gph bilge pump and float switch, pulled both remote oil tanks, sandblasted/painted the brackets...

Yeah, I can't make out what is going on in that last pic. Seems if that is the floor, then the oil tank is not mounted vertically. Also, where are those screws coming from as the are not in the floor. This looks more like a bulkhead with a hole that is vertical to the orientation with the oil...

Hey BobP, yes I remember you and hope all is going well! Thanks for the info and I will definately check it out. I would like to have the SS version as I don't want to do this again, but if they are up too high I might not be happy with the result. Glacierbaze, those are good pics for sure...

Searching for the one post I saw a while back where someone made a custom plate and mounted on the under side of the bow pulpit and Rhodan was to the side of the pulpit, but can't seem to find that post. I thought it was on the grady site. I too wonder by now if anyone has mounted one on a...

Maybe a stupid question, but is the flange tapered for the hole it fits in? I replaced mine years ago and got them from Grady and thought they were tapered .At least the are flush with the floor recess area, but these SS one's look like they have a lip that will stick up some? My model is the...

Welcome and this site has a lot of great folks that know their boats and are a great help if you need it. Keep us up to date on you new venture!

What I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9LTAZN?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 Also I slide one over the guide poles on the trailer so the poles don't mark up the sides of the boat when loading up.

I have found the Marineco silicone premium wiper arm/blade lasts the longest. I get about 2 years out of them. However, I slide on a foam insulator over the wiper blade/arm when not in use. It does a couple of things. Protects the blade from the sun and helps keep the blade from resting on the...

I have dealt with bad mold issues for years. It is down inside the hull as well. I have a pretty good handle on it now. I had purchased some commercial mold remediator and put in a spray gun and with over 100psi tried to fog up inside the hull and areas I can not see or get to to help kill it...

I had a very similar type gouge on the side when pulling away from the dock one day and others mentioned using the Spectrum gelcoat pre-colored to match your particular model. I purchased some and have to say folks can't even tell where the damage was before. It is easy to use. Just sand down...

I have been using the GE II silicone in almond color for many years and have noticed in last year or so, it does not seem to hold up as well as it used to. Not sure if the changed the formula, but is seems to be cracking which is weird or pulling away from the surface. Also is molding faster...

Or just get a better anchor....

Best to start off with motors at even trim with the surface of the hull bottom. Neutral position. Then use the tabs down to push the deep V into the waves to help reduce the impact from launching up and slamming down. That is what that V is for, to cut the waves. Once you feel comfortable with...
