Sounds like stereo.... There's a bilge pump foward (under cabin floor of my 226). I would run a fused 16gauge wire from it to the radio. It's a very, very low draw to keep the memory in a car stereo. If the boat is winterized out of the water, you should unhook or pull the batteries anyway.

Don't know where to mount a whole box. Yamaha makes a soft "prop case" that looks like a cone shaped soft sided cooler. That would do the trick and it's about $45. What would be cool is a prop "mount". Like a prop shaft and you can bolt to something and hang the prop on it. The prop doesn't...

After spending some time at West Marine playing with the SIMRAD NSS8 and the Garmin 740s.... I really love the NSS-8. I know it's twice the price, has a bunch of stuff I'll never need, but the quality feel won me over. Being a military pilot, I can appreciate a milspec feeling console vs a...

Sure, but sea tow has a few hour wait and the day of boating is over. Rather have a spare prop. Like having a spare tire....

Installed them today. Perfect replacement. Thank you guys. I couldn't believe the cheapness on the plastic latches. The stainless ones were well worth the $90!

No, not yet. I did a few prop changes dockside on my old boat. It's more of an emergency measure to get back home if I lose a blade in the river. LOTS of junk in the Potomac river. Big thing is not drop anything and to stay afloat holding the prop.

My boat came with the origional prop as a spare- what's the best way to keep it in the boat? I'm thinking in one of the storage areas under the cabin cushions. How do I keep the prop from doing any damage? I'm thinking about wrapping a couple towels around it, then storing enough of those...

I've been actively researching this over at the thehulltruth forum. My latest plan to get the new Garmin echomap 70s when it comes out, put that on the left, and a standard horizon GX2150 AIS enabled VHF radio on the right. For audio, I'm got a Clarion CDS-1 which has a small 3x5 control panel...

I think you're talking about "king starboard" bunk sliders. No personal experience with them though. Bottom left picture: http://www.finaddictmarine.com/id8.html

Score! Thank you! The plastic ones can be opened with a quick pull even when locked.

My '01 226 has cheasy black plastic locking lift ring latches for the black plexi cabin door lid. Prior owner said newer gradys have stainless versions. I found the company that makes them, but there are a zillion part numbers. Anyone know what I need?
