    Two Bilge Pumps - one switch?

    My 1997 Voyager (new to me) has a forward and aft bilge pump. However, the control panel only has one switch that says "aft bilge." When I turn it on, it turns on both bilge pumps. The previous owner had added some switches and used the ACC switch for a baitwell pump.....so I know its been...

    265 Owners - Show me Your Helm!

    Do a few searches - use "flush mount" or "starboard" or "dash" and you'll see quite a few examples of how crafty people around here can be! I'm about to flush mount a C90W on top of my electronics box in my 248 because it won't fit inside...but the width/height of the back of the unit will...

    Replacement Bimini

    Google Great Lakes Boat Tops - they are the manufacturer who makes Grady's OEM tops. They have the patterns for every boat, going back many years. I just ordered a new drop curtain from them for my 1997 Voyager - it only cost $300. My local canvas shops were quoting me 800 to custom make the...

    The seals on my center tilt was just replaced....now the starboard trim cylinder is leaking...... I'll try the stop leak before a new seal kit as the labor involved in the job is significant....and I've got one other trim cylinder too :) My boat is a trailer boat so I can check the fluid...

    Center Hydraulic cylinder leaking

    Add half of the cannister of stop leak? Should I pull out some hydraulic fluid? Also, on the lucas website, I see power steering "stop leak" and transmission "fix" but no transmission "stop leak." Which one should I use? Thanks! Pete

    adding batterys

    Agreed re: ACR - I am having the Blue Seas ACR installed. It makes sure that you charge your start battery before your house battery, no matter what battery you have selected to run on......good insurance.

    Voyager 248/Journey 258 - Filler Cushion?

    Agreed - re use of that cushion...however, I do use the boat to go camping with my family and also for some overnight fishing trips and that middle cushion is important for that. I'll be making my own.....and probably getting all th cushions re-upholstered since they need it anyway!

    Voyager 248/Journey 258 - Filler Cushion?

    So, I just bought a 1997 248 Voyager - it was neglected a bit by the prior owner, but is in overall good shape. The cushions in the cuddy are actually in good shape...but I can't figure out if there is supposed to be an additional filler cushion. I have the one filler cushion that goes over...
