The livewell will be removed to check water. I never cook my batteries, so literally once a year I need to add some water, done in the winter after a big charge. Trickle charging keeps them up and they can sit a month without ill effects. I use 2 primary batts and the other 2 are fully charged...

Very good news! Any pics of how the Armstrong deck plate looks back there?

X2 what Robert said. These things seem to be very problematic, especially with saltwater. I can see why boat manufacturers use them, easy drop in unit complete in tank but for what the replacement cost is, when my turn comes for issues with it, not going to take it out. Will just abandon it in...

Yes, brown wire is positive power for pump. If your breaker is not tripped and if the redundant fuse aft off the battery is not blown, then something is open, which would also explain no light at switch, incomplete circuit. Looking at my diagram, each cranking battery should have a fuse for a...

There shouldn't be a fuse for that. It is probably the breaker, resettable breaker, which serves as a fuse, next to the switch. If you push the button and it does not reset and trips again, you have a short/ground on your hot lead, which could be pump motor, toggle switch, float switch or the...

I would be against adding a 2nd transducer on port side only because another hole in the boat is another hole in the boat and we should try to minimize holes in the boat below the waterline. Every one of them is a potential problem and there are already plenty of holes below or near the...

So here we go, all wired up with combiners and removed on/off switch in trade for a selector switch to use 1 house batt and have another in reserve. Had plenty of room on the back board once I spread everything out a little more. The combiners allow all batteries to charge with a charge...

Well got the 2nd house batt installed under livewell after re-installing my oil tanks after a drain, flush and new oil filters. Got one of the new Group 27 Interstate Pro series in there. More lead, more capacity and longer warranty than the standard deep cycle 27's. Decided against wiring in...

What I have done with motorcycle handlebars could work here......I used a wet vac on one side to pull a very light string through, then you can tie a heavier string to it and pull that through, bigger still until you can tie a rope to your hose and pull it through, like you first intended on...

Have a 272. Is the forward bilge connected to aft bilge or is there bulkhead (or other obstructions) separating them? It is too cold out for a water test to find out at this time.

Very clean machine, best of luck!

The conduit I use at work has metal in it. I wouldn't use it on a boat. Things move on a boat and you wouldn't want what the constant chafing can lead to. I would use the existing plastic pipe on the boat and use the old wires as pull wires for the new wiring. There is also a foamy spray, wire...

Update: Eddie from Grady White called me today on the phone to speak in person about my questions. I got my answer on where to cut for access to the area to be able to reach both sides of the hoses for the starboard side scuppers. An access plate needs to be cut/installed behind/aft of the...

Looks excessive to me, can they be removed without ruining the transducer?

Looks good from here, always liked them. Those evolved into what we are fishing with today.

Here are some pics Robert... First one is inboard scupper hose of port side viewing from center access under aft seat. It looks closer than it is, it cannot be reached and this is the closer one. The other cannot be seen. Second pic it will be on the right. Hull fittings are at least another 2...

Thanks Pez, you nailed it. I found out last night with some help on another board it is an Airmar B744V, a serviceable Triducer (speed, temp & depth). It feeds my Furuno 582L. Designed to be serviceable in the water. The paddlewheel assembly can be removed for cleaning in water and a blank plug...

What is this thing? What is with all the chains?

Robert, exactly where to cut the hole and size is unknown because from the center of the boat you cannot see anything over there, that is why the question to Grady as this cannot be the first time the subject came up or a lot of grady's would have gone under from failed hoses. This is something...
