choose only a hose specifically made for petrol fuel and one that is very durable and will be somewhat rigid. Fuel is nothing to play around with. Inferior lines can fail for different reasons. Gasoline will slowly disolve certain plastics/rubber types. Fuel line should say it fuel line right...

CRC makes a good corrosion inhibitor also

I would disagree. Dielectric (DE) grease is just a useful grease used as a coating to protect from corrosion and that has no conductivity. With a metal to metal contact, as in that photo, any DE grease between the surfaces should not cause a problem. I suggest removing all battery and high...

Grady White told me that this solid piece of plastic is a storage place for the water hose connector used on the outboard motor. You’re saying your main circuit breaker is attached to this? Maybe on certain boats the circuit breaker box or panel was somehow a convenient location for this...

I found a little more to the mystery. My boat is just missing the ID plate. The plate is probably also precisely made to accommodate the part. See the attached picture.

My contact at GW answered the mystery! It's a bracket to hold the "engine flush fitting". I looked it up and found someone else here in the forum talked about the fitting itself:)

This boat already has string type LED lighting. You can see the LED string in the photo. I’m attaching edited photos with the LEDs circled. Since the boat comes with this, I don’t know what other kind of lighting might have been needed.

Laying on the floor and looking under the gunnel, I noticed this square plastic piece with a large hole in the middle. It’s about 3x3x1” thick. What is that for?

Ok. That sounds like a good plan. I should have dug areound in that hole more to find the screws.. Thank you!

I can’t figure out how to get my side bolsters off my 2021 235 Freedom. I see the 3/8” diameter drain holes on the bottom of the bolster pad but I just see foam inside. Also, I can see that a screw does go through the bolster and into the fiberglass gunnel side panel but I don’t see how getting...

I can’t figure out how to get my bolsters off. I see the 3/8” diameter drain holes on the bottom of the bolster pad but I see foam inside. Also, I can see that a screw goes through the bolster and into the fiberglass gunnel side panel but I don’t see how getting access to the edge of the screw...

That link you provided was great. I could not find that on the Seastar or Dometic web sites. Thank you!!

Thank you. I do have power assist. I wil look for the power unit. I can hear whining sound near to the motor. I'm sure its inside the transom. I don't think I have autopilot. What is the control if i have autopilot? The Garmin? Is flushing and bleeding done the same as without having the...

MOLD. Found out one of my major sources of water in the console. Pics attached. The horn was not sealed to the fiberglass so anytime it rained we had a beautiful waterfall scene into the console. I guess they were in a hurry that day at the factory. Fixed that one but now I see I've still...

When I looked into that 1/4" NPT fill hole one can only see about 3/4" down into the reservoir. The greater cavity of the reservoir is not actually visible. Vision below that first 3/4" just is not possible. Where is this "lower reservoir fitting" you are referring to? Are you referring to...

Yes. The level in the helm was low enough so that I could not see it in that 1/4" NPT hole in the helm. I added about 4 ounces but this caused no change in the whining sound. The steering all seems to work reasonably well but I'm not sure. Its a little jerky as the motor moves. Do you happen...

Can anyone point me to some good resources to identify the Seastar model numbers for the components of this steering system? The main components would be the helm, power assist pump, and then the actuator (piston) on the motor. My pump is whining. A GW salesman told me “they all sound this...

Send pics from the back side of your switch panel. What do you mean by “Debating since they are all connected to the fuse block”. My fuse block is 2 feet away. Breakers MIGHT like the white ones in my attached pics. What year is your GW?

Great idea. Thank you.
