"Faded Grady White" is what I call my 25yo gelcoat. Hard to match to Starboard colors but they have the best selection.

Try McMaster Carr. More choices but a little expensive especially when you add-in shipping. But they get the job done!

Dennis - With all due respect Starboard is not "simply" HDPE. They went thru the trouble of creating color choices that work for boaters and have a mild texture on it. Otherwise if you go to a local plastics company for HDPE you take your chances (cutting board white?) on what you get...

Garmin SteadyCast heading sensor is a NMEA2000 connected device. About $130. I use Garmin GPS 24xd for improved GPS positioning and heading sensor. About $250.

Not sure exactly what Starboard is made up of but it’s the right choice for boat projects. Cuts, routes and sands like wood. Has a mild texture finish Should be available in Canada.

I'll put installed photos up tomorrow. Cabinet doors are recessed like the original frames. 3/4" Starboard is cut down to 1/4" for a 1/2" recess. Here are the finished cabinet doors. One cabinet has drawers that the frame attaches to. Another had a storage area the was re-built and the last...

I have 8610xsv in the overhead and 8612xsv at the helm. This series has higher screen resolution than the 943/1243 series. The 9000 series is 4k but price of the unit and size of the unit are not practical choice for smaller boats. The added resolution is most noticeable with charts but also...

The Garmin Fantom units are digital and use less power (sort of like LED's). The GMR Fantom 18 closed array radar I have is 40W. There is a GMR Fantom 18x 50W unit. If you have over-the-road clearance while trailering of have high bridge clearance you may want to use a 6" pedestal for the radar...

Spotlight are ok Just don't use them like headlights! You have to be careful not to put your spotlight on another boat head on. You will night blind them for a few minuets.

Start here... https://www.uscgboating.org/assets/1/AssetManager/ABYC.1002.01.pdf You may be able to get a tank drawing from GW Customer Service. Drawing doesn't show baffles.

Since you are doing the replacement from the outside of the boat make sure the stringer to transom bonds have not been compromised on the inside. The stringer bonds keep the transom from twisting out.

Forward lighting isn’t legal. It blinds everyone else. Radar is good for a few miles if you know what you are looking at. Night vision is good for close in stuff if no fog. Ideal to have both.

Not complicated. The touchscreens are broken!

I plug it into the lighter socket at the helm or in the car. Boat is usually on trailer with gas cans are on the ground. Also used it to empty tanks or transfer from one to the other. Gravity helpful but not necessary.

You really need some type of heading sensor to orient the radar when you are going slow. Otherwise the chartplotter map and boat heading at slow speed may not be accurate. Also you need to practice this during the day with someone with you while you use instruments only. Technology will not...

I built a transfer hose using an automotive fuel pump. I disconnect fuel line to engine after the primer bulb and connect pump setup. I use it to get ethanol free fuel out of my boat for my lawn equipment.

Side scan transducers must be mounted on centerline or you need two transducers. See Garmin installation instructions. GT51M-TH

Painted mine. So far so good.

Best guess is 300'. Most canyon guys tie off to lobster pot . Or have laundry baskets of anchor line and a float ball with ring to pull the anchor. Windlass's are not really up for the task of anchoring in 600+ feet of water. Spot lock is just "lazy" wishful thinking.
