As soon as you hit the switch, motor runs, sounds fine, just no movement for several seconds, then everything is like its supposed to be. Any moves after that, no issue unless the boat has sat not running for a few hours. Sounds like the place to start is the resevoir

I have a 2013 F250 outboard on my Seafarer. No engine issues but what seems to be a developing problem on the tilt/trim. If and only if the boat has sat with the motor up for a while, the ‘down’ action takes a bit of a delay. Never did that before. For example, if the boat is taken to a...

I guess I agree with you. My only itch is during my working days any caliper was generally referred to as a vernier, when some were dial type, others (just coming in those days) were digital. I suppose back when all that was available were vernier calipers. Probably beat this topic to death...

Mine was gone long ago

I stand corrected. I looked at a blow up of the ad pic. I guess its reads .801 or there abouts. I am thinking I was recalling slide rules. Digital calipers are a lot simpler

The pic looks like two linear/arithmetic scales. One English/American and the bottom metric

I got one of the digital calipers on sale several years ago, something less than 10 bucks. I don't use it a lot but its pretty good for the money. I am not sure I'd set up critical bearing clearances with it, but for home shop use, its a steal. And I am on the original button cell battery.

Look at the picture, I don't think its a vernier scale, just line up the 0 and you get an inch reading. If it were a vernier, I'd say it would be pretty much only good to use as a ruler.

Heck, that's cheaper than a box of cereal......

Another approach I have done is cut out a 1" opening on some stiff cardboard, like a cereal box. Use it as a gauge. Cheap, simple, put it in your pocket

I don't know what came as OEM but the arms are 7mm bayonet style and must be SS....no corrosion. They are sort of sandwiched into a rod but appears to be riveted onto the rod which in turn is adjustable into the lower portion of the arm that attaches to the motor stub. Not at the boat for a...

The ANCO blade looks like a good replacement but my wipers are a 7 mm bayonet type. I don't know if that was a previous owner change? Does that ANCO 52-16 blade fit onto a (simple) bayonet type attachment somehow with the small bracket and screw/nut? Does that blade come with an adapter for...

Boat is a 2013 226 Seafareer with what I believe are original wiper arms. The wipers themselves are what I believe are 7mm bayonet type. I have had the boat a couple of years now and its time to replace the blades at least. But also, how do the arms come off the shafts? I believe they...

FWIW......I got my new-to-me 2013 Seafarer insured with Travelers through a local agent. Compared to a couple of other quotes, for comparable coverage, rates were about 20% lower and the local agent has a superb reputation. I have only the boat insurance through Travelers. I got everything...

Lots of good ideas. I kind of like the notion of a GoPro (type) camera mounted somewhere under the canvas...maybe on the back of the seats? Damn, I looked at the gigntic selection of those devices. What ever happened to just a Brownie camera? In those days, couldn't afford color film.

.......just hoping it doesn't get out of control....... That ship has sailed, so to speak

That sounds like what I want to do. I guess I need to do some research as to the most usable device and what features might or might not be available.

I was thinking about the camera idea. Seems there are a zillion offerings these days. I was pondering perhaps mounting something like a GoPro (type) covering the back section and let it rip while we are fishing. I kind of like that idea. Neither my wife nor I are big...

Probably too simple a question, but where does everyone put your phone on board? Usually no pockets in the summer but want quick access for photos. I am thinking, as a pretty good sewing person. I might make a pocket that goes over the seat back with pouches on the aft side. Also thinking...

I like JJF comments. On my always salt water moored 226, a 2013 model, there is no pitting no degredation of any of the components. My humble opinion is GW is over priced but you do get what you pay for. A lesser boat will likley do just about the same things, but after a few years, it...
