Any pics of these straps with twist locks?

I replaced my round hatch plates with the screw in type from West Marine a couple years ago and have never leaked a drop since. I did have to open up the hole slightly, but that was easy enough. Before this, I had a few gallons get in after every offshore trip. Now I remove the drain plugs on...

I mounted the Vinyl VHF radio holder just inside the cabin door. Can quickly reach it from the helm. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--handheld-vhf-radio-holder-large--8717878?recordNum=1

What am I missing here? If we only take 3% oil from Russia, then how is the gas prices rising so much over such a small amount of impact? Certainly we can make up for it elsewhere if not our own reserves.

I think I finally found a pic on this part. It is actually the float for the pump. Here is a pic and it totally looks like it might have 2 orings that might be the culprit.

Fills are on the transom with hose going down to tanks. No leaks there or around the fitting where it connects the hoses to the tanks. The leak is where I said due to that fitting not sealing anymore. I did reach down and could move them without much effort, so to me, they have either shrunk or...

Haha, Dennis, yeah, they are proud of their bracket system. For sure, a battery tray system would work out as well. I made my own out of some SS threaded rod and Starboard or PVC for my house batteries, sitting on a foam exercise mat for shock absorption and has been the best battery tray. Not...

That is a random picture, not mine. Just showing you the neck that is supposed to be sealed with the fitting. I need to get down in there and check it further. I had planned on pulling them out this down season to clean up and recoat the brackets as I see they are rusting a bit and then I could...

I know my O2 sensors are ready to clean when my cold start idle starts to be below the normal 6-700rpms and instead is 4-500rpms and stumbles until I give it some throttle. Interesting concept though on too much Startron causing too much carbon? When Startron is supposed to help with the carbon...

Hi Seasick, the oil tank I am talking about is the 2.5 gallon installed under the floor panel.

I have a post on here doing what you are looking to do. I removed the lifting ring as well as it is not needed and would just be in the way. I can't recall where it was in regards to the windlass install, but think the windlass installed over it...

LMFAO! It's all in your head.....:D

I switched over to the Attwood LED fixtures for Red/Green and mast light and they are great so far. No more blown bulb issues when I am heading out at 4am.

I use RF and Startron, no issues, still have some carbon issues on the O2 sensors so have to service/clean them annually. FYI....and not to discord Techron....I did switch over to the Marine Techron as I have used Techron in cars for years with great success, but the side affect was I got water...

If you are searching for the trim for windows, try Marine Glass Specialties. I was able to get the window channel for the side windows and that helped a lot with the leaks. I would not recommend caulking the corners where the plastic trim is as that is how the water will flow out when it gets...

I really don't get why removing the tank to reduce weight at the risk of needing fuel, etc. The weight helps with the ride. I have the 52g rear and 150g mid tank for total of 202gallons. I go anywhere from 30 to 60 out, troll all day and run back. In a couple of cases when 40 out, seas/storm...

The only issue I am having is that in the remote tanks, I have leaking oil around the small orifice, not the fill. I am not yet sure if there is an Oring in there that needs replacing or if the entire rubber grommet has shrunk. It is doing this on both remote tanks. Hope to pull floor hatch...

Nevermind, I did a search within their website and a different page came up with clear part numbers. Here is the updated webpage: https://www.marinetown.com/product-detail/128/

Boosted, that part number seems to be for the grate removal key? All the other part numbers start with a 9, but not sure how to tell which is the actual spoke drain? #0403436 90° DECK DRAIN 1-1/2" SPOKE

My experience in my 252G is way better than my older 20' dual console model. For the smaller boats, less weight, they tend to get up on top and try to skip across the seas. In some cases, that is a bit better by getting on top until you find one of those deeper swells and at speed it will remove...
