Thinking of redoing the dash electrics. Anyone have an idea where to buy the replacement toggle switches at a good price? Also, does one hook the bilge pump positive wire directly to the Battery rather than to the panel where it can be shut off when turning the battery selector switch to "OFF"?

Grounding question Thanks Boatsrock. You bring up the question of grounding the tower. Is this something that is recommended--does it help with lightning? or does a grounded tower help to further attract a strike?? Does it cause any corrosion of the Aluminum? Where do you purchase the...

pulling wires Thanks guys! I will try out that vacuum idea--sounds like fun! I guess you use very light thread like sewing thread witha small button attached to be swept up by the vac. should work! Another question: What size wire did you run for the 5 amp draw spreader light(s)? Did...

I want to mount spreader lights to my T-top large diameter tube, either one in the center or two --one on each side -- facing aft. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to mount them other than welding on a tab and fastening to that tab. I want to avoid welding and need to mount directly to the...

i'm trying to add extra rod storage on the large diameter aft bar of the T-top. I don't want the expense of having to weld them on. Any ideas on how to add rod holders to the t-top without welding? any specific brands that come with the ability to clamp over the 2" diameter tubing? I was...

Thanks everyone for coming back so quickly! If there is a drain plug, is it reached from the fuel tank side, or the aft compartment side? I fished around in the water on the fuel tank side, but couldn't find any plug. Maybe i need to check the other side of the bulkhead? Rod

I have a 1985 Fisherman 204 that I will be replacing the fuel tank in. I noticed a lot of bilge water sitting at the aft end of the fuel tank (after removing the deck hatch) and was wondering if this water should be making its way back to the stern where the bilge pump is located. I couldn't...
