I can't say what will work and what won't work for you. My lines were snaked through the bulkheads into an inverted double "S" maze with foam and zip ties added just for fun. If the lines pull right out without cutting into the longitudinal bulkheads, you're way ahead of the game. How's access...

:goodjob Now it's time for some first aid and a relaxing beverage. Tomorrow, the hard part starts.

Using marine sealants for filling the seams between components is a proper use for these products, but using them to fill screw holes in a wood/fiberglass/gelcoat transom is a poor choice. I think using products from the fiberglass/resin/epoxy/gelcoat family will serve you best over the long...

Maybe for a pressure test? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... KmcN75445w

Just like's already been said, then use this on the tough ones. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/st ... WR-8yv0azd This is one of my personal secrets so you owe me big time.

If you scroll down a ways on this old thread viewtopic.php?t=8357&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0, you should be able to see some pics of my fuel tank replacement. That should be worth a few thousand words I suppose. We mostly used 2x2's I believe, but be ready to make a trip to Home Depot...

The tank should be easy (with two people), it's replacing the fuel fill line that may be problematic. If it appears difficult to remove once you open the fuel compartment, post a picture of what you're dealing with. Some cutting may be required.

I couldn't agree more. I'd have been tempted to turn around and walk out. You can speak volumes without saying a word.

Don't be insecure about it. Once you've been around awhile, you know what's good and bad, what the trade-offs are, and why you made the right choice for your personal likes and dislikes. I don't need a salesman to tell me about a boat I've run for as long as I've run mine. Is his better? If it...

Great minds think alike.

Viewing the screen underway is not a problem, although a greater angle would no doubt be better. Having lived with it the way it is, I decided against fabricating a modification to the existing space, into which my C120W slipped perfectly. Of course, our console layouts are entirely different...

Given your opening is about 7.5 inches tall,"about" becomes the operative word. If it were me, I'd download the flush mount installation template (or make your own) and see if you can make it happen. Measure twice, and cut once. Here's yours (right?) and mine, just to give you an idea.

Here's a pic of the deck plate we added to gain access to the hose clamps on the fill lines. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13032&p=86635#p86635

I was quoted that price without any breakdown between the cost of tank fabrication and the removal and replacement of the tanks and fuel lines. Having watched the job being done, I can tell you that removal of the old fuel lines was extremely difficult, and that part required two guys busting...

I replaced both tanks with custom, locally made aluminum tanks because I needed full service. Here are some before and after pics I posted on this old thread. viewtopic.php?t=8357&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 I paid $4,500.00, admittedly a very high price, but the money was well spent, as I...

I think it does very well. There's a saying, "Better than most, not as good as some." That's probably a fair description. For myself, I've got no complaints, as I've learned what works to keep the ride comfortable by my standards: keeping the boat heavy with weight distribution forward by always...

I've been running my 1987 GW 255 in just about every offshore condition you might imagine for, well let's see, about 26 years. The hull configuration for the earlier models, such as mine, should not even be a factor in your decision ... PERIOD! You've got bigger fish to fry. If you get past the...

A local boat trailer shop put it together for me. It consists of a "line union" threaded female coupler, into one end of which is screwed a threaded male plug. Kinda like the parts shown here. http://www.discounthydraulichose.com/In ... _s/241.htm

You've got an engine which is capable of transmitting the data. The next question is whether or not you have any Yamaha Command Link gauges, and if so, whether or not you wish to connect your Raymarine display to the existing Command Link system, or whether you wish to make a direct connection...

No, only in the case of a roadside emergency. I carry a cap which fits over the end of the threaded fitting on the hydraulic brake line. In an emergency, I can disconnect the brake line to the offending caliper without draining the system. What happens next depends upon what's going on, but if a...
