Look at the picture, I don't think its a vernier scale, just line up the 0 and you get an inch reading. If it were a vernier, I'd say it would be pretty much only good to use as a ruler.

Heck, that's cheaper than a box of cereal......

Another approach I have done is cut out a 1" opening on some stiff cardboard, like a cereal box. Use it as a gauge. Cheap, simple, put it in your pocket

I don't know what came as OEM but the arms are 7mm bayonet style and must be SS....no corrosion. They are sort of sandwiched into a rod but appears to be riveted onto the rod which in turn is adjustable into the lower portion of the arm that attaches to the motor stub. Not at the boat for a...

The ANCO blade looks like a good replacement but my wipers are a 7 mm bayonet type. I don't know if that was a previous owner change? Does that ANCO 52-16 blade fit onto a (simple) bayonet type attachment somehow with the small bracket and screw/nut? Does that blade come with an adapter for...

Boat is a 2013 226 Seafareer with what I believe are original wiper arms. The wipers themselves are what I believe are 7mm bayonet type. I have had the boat a couple of years now and its time to replace the blades at least. But also, how do the arms come off the shafts? I believe they...

FWIW......I got my new-to-me 2013 Seafarer insured with Travelers through a local agent. Compared to a couple of other quotes, for comparable coverage, rates were about 20% lower and the local agent has a superb reputation. I have only the boat insurance through Travelers. I got everything...

Lots of good ideas. I kind of like the notion of a GoPro (type) camera mounted somewhere under the canvas...maybe on the back of the seats? Damn, I looked at the gigntic selection of those devices. What ever happened to just a Brownie camera? In those days, couldn't afford color film.

.......just hoping it doesn't get out of control....... That ship has sailed, so to speak

That sounds like what I want to do. I guess I need to do some research as to the most usable device and what features might or might not be available.

I was thinking about the camera idea. Seems there are a zillion offerings these days. I was pondering perhaps mounting something like a GoPro (type) covering the back section and let it rip while we are fishing. I kind of like that idea. Neither my wife nor I are big...

Probably too simple a question, but where does everyone put your phone on board? Usually no pockets in the summer but want quick access for photos. I am thinking, as a pretty good sewing person. I might make a pocket that goes over the seat back with pouches on the aft side. Also thinking...

I like JJF comments. On my always salt water moored 226, a 2013 model, there is no pitting no degredation of any of the components. My humble opinion is GW is over priced but you do get what you pay for. A lesser boat will likley do just about the same things, but after a few years, it...

Ditto for me

Ten cents worth. We bought our first boat 2 years ago. Got a fair, not great, deal on a relatively low hr 2013, 226 with a 250 Yammie. This was our first boat and it checked out well, just over 300 well cared for hours, everything else nicely kept. Anyway, our goal is fishing and its fine...

I got insurance with Travelers through a local agent who checked several companies for me. It was abput 60% of the cost from several of the other big companies. And I am sure the paper work as noted by others is not worth the effort. And I am not sure many insurers would appreciate the back...

I just got an email ad (and deleted it) from something like Boatoutfitters, or Wholesale boaters. Not exactly right but thats the idea. Anyway, the ad was for rub rail replacement rubber. On the ad, there were several different profiles and I think there were even more. Might try googling...

I agree, and being in the business of selling boats or anything else I guess, you never know who is going to walk in with a pocket full of cash. Interestingly, when I mentioned the guys name to other neighbors who were familiar with him, I got responses like, gee, sounds like he has gotten...

Not exactly the same thing, but same idea I suppose. Last year I searched for months to find a half decent, fairly priced boat. Ended up with a 2013 Seafarer with 340 hours so it was not too well used. Anyway, along the search, I spoke with a used dealer looking for info on a boat he had...

I got a 2013 Seafarer that could use new arms. I see the set screw and I am wondering what experiences others have had with removing the arm. My assumption is that if it has never come off, even once the set screw is loosened/removed, the socket, which I assumed is a spline, is not going to...
