    Steering Wheel Cap

    Yep, looks just like mine, saving me the effort of posting a pic. What exactly is that eye strap for? It seems an unlikely location.

    Gelcoat Restoration

    I have good results with 3M boat wash, and all the other 3M products.

    Day 2 Day spray cleaner?

    I find that 3M's gel coat compounds, heavy, medium, and/or light, removes the stains where everything else failed.

    Telescoping boarding ladder for 225 Grady

    I did what you did, and struggled to find a ladder I liked. I took a chance ordering this one because of their international reputation and the very complete description on their website: https://www.osculati.com/en/11627-49.541.74/big-telescopic-ladder-for-platform-4-steps It's far nicer...

    Bore Gauge / Dial Indicator

    I ended up finding a Fowler gauge that came with a 14mm threaded adapter with a set screw. It's not the gauge I'd have bought otherwise, but it's good enough and I never found the adapter separately.

    Yamaha gauge refurbished ?

    I just did a DIY gauge saver, a 30 year old tach with a white back. The white back units are super easy, just a few screws without the Dremel or drill I see in instruction videos. Gauge saver was slightly more than some other places, but their site has the best info and they validated my fit on...

    Bore Gauge / Dial Indicator

    I want to set my 95 V6 175HP 2 stroke timing and need to do the spark plug drop measurement to set TDC. I'm looking at a Mitutoyo indicator, but I can't seem to find an appropriate 14mm thread adapter, and I'm not sure if I need an extension rod. Can anyone point me to what I need to go...

    flat bolts used to connect hinge to plexiglass

    I may have found them: https://fpmarine.com/products/stainless-steel-blind-top-hat-nut-6-32-threads-wellcraft-aquasport-click-on-item-for-qty-pricing That's 6/32 threading. T.

    Sending Unit for Tournament 192

    It was a little hard to find here in the US too. I ended up buying it on eBay for $44 + $10 shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225810322550

    Carburetor rebuild - Pilot screw turns question

    I'll reinstall the carbs this weekend, and my starting point will be the 1-3/8 spec. I did carb rebuilds, with kits, so everything is clean. I reused the floats, and as far as I can tell the float heights are the same as before. It seems a difficult measurement and an inexact adjustment, so...

    Carburetor rebuild - Pilot screw turns question

    I'm rebuilding my 1995 Yamaha V6 2 stroke carbs and have been verifying the Pilot Screw turns from all in before i remove them. Each carb has two of these adjustable screws. The first carb was 1-3/8ths turns on both sides. The 2nd carb was 1-3/8 on one side and 2 on the other. I now know...

    flat bolts used to connect hinge to plexiglass

    I searched high and low for an exact match and never found them. I contacted Grady White Customer Service to see if they could help, and they responded by sending me free replacements. They even paid for the shipping. I'm extremely glad I bought the Grady and not... say a Bayliner. My 30...

    Sending Unit for Tournament 192

    I've had 8" and 9" senders in my 96 192, and I think the 9" gives better information. I did a fill test and the 9" sender was still reading empty when the tank had 10 gallons. Using the math above, the 8" would bump the empty reading to about 20 gallons, or a third of a tank. That's...

    Name/Find this part - Corner guards under back to back lounge

    I'm redoing my Tournament 192's back to back lounge seats and I'm looking to replace the nylon corner guards that go around and under each corner. The originals are stamped "Wise" but I can't find them for sale and Wise hasn't gotten back to me. Does anyone know what these are called and...

    Tournament 192 replacement cutting board

    If you put a 3/8" radius on what was the top sides, you could flip it over. You'd have a new gap at the edges where it meets the boat, but it's a reasonable compromise for someone with a router table. I tried sanding mine and hitting it with a stainless steel brush, and it didn't give up much...

    Tournament 192 replacement cutting board

    Nope. I was going to do that, but the bottom side needs the 3/8" radius so it can sit flat on the support. Upside down doesn't work. I did turn around the backsplash once years ago, but that only helps a little because it still all shows.

    Tournament 192 replacement cutting board

    It was $270. If that's even close for you, you might be able to get a lower price by asking them to re-use the CAD/CAM they created for me. Ask for Jason.

    Steering Wheel Cap

    My guess is a Schmitt Model 170 Destroyer 13 1/2"
