So you already have a "windlass". My "windlass" is broken and only works the way lewis_levin describes. Maybe a new and younger "windlass" is in order.

Why the long splice over the short? Short has more strength. The increased size won't cause and issue coming over the pulpit. Is there something I'm missing with the long splice?

No windlass but do have a pulpit that has a permanent line keeper (not sure if there is a name for that) so the knot will have to pass thru that. Never thought of splicing.

What is the best knot for attaching 2 pieces of anchor rode together?

Have it shipped to a WM store.....should save the shipping cost.

Just installed a new livewell pump this year. It came with a port to connect to a washdown pump. I have mine capped but would be an easy way to hook it up.

Looks like I got a bad primer bulb. I swapped it out for another new one and it has run fine since. Thanks for the help.

Carb squeeze bulb was NOT collapsed I have not changed them...I've had it since 2004.

I have a 1995 Yamaha 225. First 2 trips of the year seemed to work normal on ride out (2-5 miles) and between drifts, but on ride in (running with the waves 2-3ft) seemed to get a rpm surge of about 300 - 500 rpm's (not the normal surfing down a wave). Next couple of trips (1ft or less) it...

I have used the rubber / plastic covered chain in the past but would NOT use it again. It cracks and then becomes a rusting mess. Unless you can find it with galvanized chain under the rubber / plastic cover. They sell clear plastic stuff for cars to protect from rock dings and such. Maybe...

Was able to get the brakets off and replace the seals. Thanks for the help.

I didn't go with soda blasting on my 24' because of the $1200 price tag but after 2 or 3 weekends of scraping and sanding ......$1200 didn't seem that bad.

Have you adjusted your gain up and/or down?

Re: By the way... Thank you. Hopefully I won't need them but will let you know if I do. When I asked the dealer for any tricks, his response was "beat the crap out of them but the brackets aren't made anymore so if you crack them you will need a new cylinder". Not sure which cylinder...

I'm trying to replace my seals on the ram but got stuck at the "PITA" part. Any tricks to getting the support brackets off of the ram? Heat? Hammer?

I am using a straight edge razor and acetone to clean up the old caulk, but I can't get it all off. Is there a trick to removing the thin layer still left or am I being too anal about it?

Check out http://www.cafepress.com/ Have used this in the past. No minimums, and reasonable price.

I had a small leak over the winter and after talking to the dealer I did nothing (forget what their explantion was). About about a season and a half later it was in the shop getting a new $1500 pump.

I bought some at Lowe's in an almond color that matched. Home Depot only had white if I remember correctly.

I also have a leak in the port cabin window that slides open. How do you get to the screws? I assume they are behind the frame. Does the metal frame around the window just pop off? I know there is a frame on the inside, but can't remember what is around the window on the outside. If there is a...
