    Bracket needed

    Yes, you can use a barrell latch, but they have no give if they go through the glass on the sides. Sooner or later, someone's not paying attention when they raise the motor, and you end up with a busted wave gate, or motor cowling.

    I talked to Bobby for about 15 minutes this morning. The plan had been for him and his wife to fly to Orlando on Friday to attend a football game, and spend a couple of days with their son Cole. When they got to the Asheville airport, flights were canceled due to a lack of power, so they decided...

    (SOLD) Selling my Seafarer 228!

    When I bought the boat in 2020, it had been sitting for a while, with the cabin window on the starboard side not latched in the aft corner. You can see the black line where water dripped in and kept wetting two of the cushions, causing the fabric to deteriorate in the area. The foam is good. If...

    Water coming in scuppers

    Every time I see a thread about moving batteries and weight to the front, it reminds me of the time I almost swamped my 22 tournament. My lower unit did not quite clear the water when in the slip, so I had the bright idea of leaving a large cooler full of water in the bow seating area, which did...

    Wash down/Livewell System

    The pump which only feeds the gunnel faucet is probably a high-pressure washdown pump, and the other pump is probably just a regular water supply pump. With the pumps running, stick the end of a hose to the open faucets, and see what happens when you prime the lines. Check the polarity at the...

    Fresh water tank filling issues.

    Don’t cut the end off of a good hose. If you have an old washing machine hose, cut one end off of it. They are usually smaller diameter, and you can see how far you can shove it down the fill to check for kinks or clogs.

    Fresh water tank filling issues.

    Took me a long time to figure this out, and maybe you are having the same issue. The freshwater fill on my seafarer is on the front of the helm passenger seat box. Just like the gas fill, the fill tube and the vent are in the same fitting under the cap. Putting water straight in floods the vent...

    Is the Grady White tournament 185 fish box convertible to a live well ?

    If that is the compartment between the jump seats, I see a couple of 185’s for sale online, which have a standpipe in that compartment rather than just a drain, so my guess is yes.

    Rod holder install

    If you are looking at the top of the transom, there are quite a few 90/0 degree installs on different models, but not much room for angles.
