    Hardtop Mounted Outriggers

    I agree, installing them yourself isn't that difficult or time heavy. The biggest thing is measure 3X and drill once. Once you drill the first hole, you're committed, so get at it. On another note, I'm painting the top side of the hardtop this year. Last year I was getting chalk residue on...

    Hardtop Mounted Outriggers

    Tube spacers are plastic pieces of plastic pipe that the ID is just larger than the bolt you are planning to use. You drill the hardtop to the OD of the tube spacer so it fits inside the hole you drilled in the hardtop. After drilling all 4 test fit everything. If it fits, then glue or life...

    I like the SS two piece ones but having them in glass is the key.

    Trailer rollers

    I'd base it on the color of my boat. If you have a dark color hull, I'd go blue. Lighter color either. If white, I'd go yellow. It likely doesn't matter much, just thinking of rub marks.

    Richie HF-73

    https://www.ritchienavigation.com/ I had one replaced by Ritchie in Pembroke, MA. Give them a call and see if they can repair it or recommend one that will fit in the hole you have. They were responsive when I contacted them in the past.

    Replacing the transom on my 275 Freedom: a photo story

    deck plate gelcoat color

    Id leave it for now. Let it weather in and then try a plastic primer and paint. Primer is INSL_X STIX. Then get some color bars from your paint store, match it up and paint.
