    Marlin window leak

    You would have to make new ones. If you are sleeping on the boat maybe.

    Marlin window leak

    Good. I think you will be happier with that. Nobody opens them anyway and if you need air open the hatch.

    Stopped in today. Shelvers are nearly empty. I asked "What's going on? You guys going out of business?". The reply was "No. We are updating all our inventory. Waiting for stuff to come in.". Well I suppose I got a real answer. We will see. I also pulled out my $100 gift certificate. Took him a...

    Seat Unknown

    For those of you who have the flexibility to consider an alternative look at this reversible helm chair. Several sources available. Can be used as standard seat, leaning post or reversible while fishing. Had it for two seasons and really love it. Moved seat over couple of inches to give...

    I'm going to stop in with my $100 gift certificate one day this week. Talking to my local tackle store he has been having supply chain problems. Things they usually could get they can't get. Product that smaller shops would have gotten was going to larger places and online sellers. I'll see...

    What happened here?

    Could have been a plastic ice bag the you picked up. Happed to me. Can't believe it was sand - you would have to be churning it up. Keep an eye on the engine temps, replace thermostats, rebuild water pumps if they are due.

    Isinglass Replacement Cost - 307 Freedom

    Looks like A&J who did a lot of work for GW did close. GW probably took the work in-house and only do new boat work. You are going to have to find someone locally. Great Grady member can help if you tell us where you are located. I am shocked by some of the prices I hear for enclosures. Depends...

    2004 Marlin replacement window

    Unlikely you will find a replacement in glass. If it's flat (not curved) maybe a glass shop. Marine Glass Specialties in FL maybe. Windshields and glass are short run productions for specific Manufactures. Not like auto parts. They don't even want to talk to you.

    Bait tank pump constantly vapor locking when coming off of a plane if traveling over 25 knots. I have a 33 Express.

    How many clamshell pickups do you have under the boat. Most have two. This Pentair is a bait well pump (centrifugal). You probably have a ShurFlo for your wash down. I don't have any experience with the Pentair Bait Sentry pump. Airlock problem may be unique to this pump.

    fuel tanks 265 express

    It's not that hard... No access to fuel fills, main tank can't be removed without cutting bulkhead out, even with bulkhead out tank can't tilt up without cutting step. But this is a 268 Islander.

    Bait tank pump constantly vapor locking when coming off of a plane if traveling over 25 knots. I have a 33 Express.

    I'm not convinced that he has a ShurFlo bait well pump. Maybe a ShurFlo wash down. I have never talked to anyone that didn't have a factory Rule centrifugal bait well pump. And I have never heard of a centrifugal pump that airlocked - diaphragm pumps yes but centrifugal no. It's possible GW...

    fuel tanks 265 express

    Lots of variables. Where are you? Do you know if the tanks can be removed without cutting fiberglass or bulkheads? What size are the tanks? Changing all hoses? For that size GW and them doing all the work - $10,000. Tanks, hoses, miscellaneous parts are about $5,000.

    Try A&J Canvas in Vanceboro, NC (252) 244-1509 The did a lot of work for GW. Re-using the canvas frame isn't how I would do it. Even if its in good shape its a lot of work to get the glass out. The canvas gets damaged along the way and has to be repaired. Then sew back in where the old...

    Bait tank pump constantly vapor locking when coming off of a plane if traveling over 25 knots. I have a 33 Express.

    That's an engineers answer not a practical one. Problem is the high pressure on the clamshell will push water into the pump past the cheap seal. After that the pump is toast. I have also has boat sitting on the bottom at night in the slip sucking sand up damaging the seal and even eroding the...

    Bait tank pump constantly vapor locking when coming off of a plane if traveling over 25 knots. I have a 33 Express.

    Different boat and no problems with air locking the pump. What kind of pump and do you have a clamshell water pickup? I'm using the Rule DR47 1100 GPH pump. I have had pumps damaged by the water pressure from the clamshell pickup. Alter a lengthy process and discussions with Rule the engineers...
