    Bennett Trim Tab Gauge?

    I'm re-doing the dash for this weeks project. Can anyone tell me what, if any, gauges are compatible with the bennett trim tabs? I'd like to keep the "decor" in order, and didn't want to spend $$$$ for their fancy pants panels since I already made a switch panel for all the trims. Thanks in...

    Truck for pulling a 228 Seafarrer

    more or less, until you get into efficiency of cylinder heads (cfms), cam duration, valve placement and size, lift and overlap, bore and stroke, compression, etc. My last race car was a 2.0L Eclipse that put down 624hp to all 4 wheels (had a turbo the size of a frizbee), so its not always the...

    Truck for pulling a 228 Seafarrer

    They're all hemi's as long as the cylinder heads are basically hemispherical and the spark plug is around dead center of the dome....A marketing ploy that has stuck for YEARS.

    Scupper hose replacement

    surely will do. Again, I appologize for the response I had no intentions of misleading anyone. I think you might be right about the beer bong application, in fact, maybe I will see what I can do with it :lol: . I wouldn't see what harm would come of using fuel fill hose for the scuppers, but...

    Scupper hose replacement

    home depot has the hose. its clear so you can see if they get backed up by anything. they also have a woven nylon reinforcement as opposed to the metal, so when you do go to replace them again it will be alot easier. i bought the last 10ft of roll they had for 10 cents a foot. maybe you can...

    Plastic Rear Deck Drains: Who makes them ?? Who sells them ?

    I searched high and low to find these figuring that going to the Grady dealer would be the most expensive....well they were the only ones that had them for the whopping price of 5.00 a piece. They are better than what you had in there also in the fact that the ones they stock are one piece...

    15 gal water tank

    I was inside my cabin working today (85 Trophy) and it looks to me that you first need to remove the storage box under the pass seat and disconnect everything from there. Then the access I believe is from inside the cabin, where you would have to remove the false wall and the floor of the false...

    Hey guys...New Grady owner checking in

    It will be kept at Murrays Haven, we have a slip there. I'm sure we will see ya going through the inlet, pending I can get some issues I found resolved.

    Hey guys...New Grady owner checking in

    Its usually around 100/foot and that should include prep and materials. Thats kinda why I wanted a black boat, to be different. If I could afford a new Grady in black, I would be ALL over it.

    Hey guys...New Grady owner checking in

    its a 2008 Frontier :wink: I think if it were a Tacoma I probably would have had some problems, they have alot less power than the Nissans. The truck pulls it fine, it just may be a tad light for the boat. Don't be expecting a pristine boat fellas, I told you it was a resto in progress :lol:
