The only issue I am having is that in the remote tanks, I have leaking oil around the small orifice, not the fill. I am not yet sure if there is an Oring in there that needs replacing or if the entire rubber grommet has shrunk. It is doing this on both remote tanks. Hope to pull floor hatch...

Nevermind, I did a search within their website and a different page came up with clear part numbers. Here is the updated webpage: https://www.marinetown.com/product-detail/128/

Boosted, that part number seems to be for the grate removal key? All the other part numbers start with a 9, but not sure how to tell which is the actual spoke drain? #0403436 90° DECK DRAIN 1-1/2" SPOKE

My experience in my 252G is way better than my older 20' dual console model. For the smaller boats, less weight, they tend to get up on top and try to skip across the seas. In some cases, that is a bit better by getting on top until you find one of those deeper swells and at speed it will remove...

From what I can tell, the boat is way aft on the trailer from normal. I would do as mentioned first, move the winch stand forward and then test it. I don't think tires on a dual axle full of air can make or break a sway issue. It should be a weight/balance issue. My first RoadKing trailer was...

When I cleaned out my tank, flushed with water and heavy soap solution, rinsed again and again and no more fuel smell. Once it was clean, and I didnt smell any more fumes, I used a long vac hose and cleaned it out. Then put in alchohol to give it a final rinse and let it dry. No issues.

Regarding the pie plates screw in vs snap in...on my bracket model, it had 3 plates that were snap in. They all leaked and always had water in the bracket I had to drain. I installed the screw in types and have yet to drain any water out since. They do seal as they should since you can get them...

Nice work! Suggest if not already done to secure the top of that part so it does not get flopped around too much in the waves.

Maybe someday they will come down to a more affordable option. From the testing I have seen so far, they are game changers for sure! I do wonder though how many times they will get clogged up from trash or weeds, etc.

Hey BigJohn, I fish out of MHC.

So in the professional industry, 2 part paints are used which do have a harder finish and generally last longer. This is what is usually sprayed on the huge yachts and mostly on boats during a full restoration. They cost more and are harder to apply. I have used the Interlux on my bow pulpit...

The gunnels on my 252 are very thick and very strong. I do not have backup plates but used the largest washers that would fit. One if them if I recall I had to trim due to the angle of the holder in the way. I pull a 50w with a #6 to #8 planar and the stress is incredible, but no flexing or...

lol

Like Dennis said, chemicals are the best method. I always remove tree sap with Mineral Sprits on a rag. then wash with soap/water and dry. If you keep your boat polished, you will need to repolish afterwards.

I did some searching and found your restoration post steps. I am mainly interested in how you refinished your floor and what you used? If you did, any pics?

Hi Dennis, did you have a link to show how you restored your flooring?

FYI....regarding the amount of bleach to water for safe drinking (Which they say is for emergency purposes) would be 8 drops per fluid ounce, which comes out to about 1/2oz per 37 gallons. So the amount I put in is too much based on what I found today. That is with the 6% sodium hypochlorite...

Just to add....It depends on what Grady was using 2 pints to 50 gallons for? If to flush, yes that is a very strong solution. If to drink, that would kill you! I just pour in about a cup or two in my 30 gallon to sanitize the tank, then rinse. Any strong solution is sufficient but does not need...

I did some research a long while back and for normal water state during season, it was recommended to use 1.5oz bleach to 30 gallons. This is drinkable, but I would not do it. I just use water bottles to quench my thirst. The water has a very slight smell of bleach, much like the city water we...

Installed my amp on the wall in the berth under the helm and to the left. Was easy to run the wires through the side panel directly up to the helm area. I have my house batteries also installed just behind the aft panel in this berth area so short wire run to the batteries.
