    Push button circuit breaker size

    That's what New Wire Marine has them listed as, which seems like a safe bet to me, though you could always give them a phone call to double check? Unless you want to order them from there, of which I've heard nothing but good things about NWM. https://newwiremarine.com/product/circuit-breaker-boot/

    WTB 208 adventure

    There’s 3 for sale on Boat Trader currently, though one of those doesn’t come with a trailer. That being said, I’d probably be looking at the one in Florida first that doesn’t come with a trailer and is listed for $29k. I would, and did, also consider a 226/228 Seafarer as well if you’re...

    When Google is asked "are iPads 4k screen"... "Yes, some iPad models have 4K resolution. You can also connect an iPad to an external display with 4K resolution. 4K iPad models iPad 10.9-inch Wi-Fi (2022, 10th generation): This iPad has a 4K resolution display. iPad Pro 12.9-inch Wi‑Fi (2022...

    iPhones display content in 4k, as mentioned above and yes, iPad's have had 4k screen resolutions since around 2022 now, per Google. And I mean if you want twin 19" screens, have the space to put them and want to spend over $20k in doing so, then have at it. I don't imagine most people care to...

    SOLD-2007 Grady 208 w/ 2023 Yamaha 200

    Oftentimes they'll put the pitch stamped on the prop somewhere, and then it comes down to the diameter, which is pretty easy to measure and the number of blades. To Scotty, a call to Ken at Prop Gods might answer your question.

    Suggestions for an outboard motor for a 1978 "Duke 175"

    Are you wanting an outboard with a digital/drive by wire throttle, or are you just wanting to stick with mechanical? The Tohatsu 90/115 is also almost 400 lbs, of which you mentioned that you thought you could use a 20" shaft version of the outboard, and the Suzuki 90 is only 344 lbs for their...

    Suggestions for an outboard motor for a 1978 "Duke 175"

    The last boater registration tag on there appears to be from 2007 and expiring in 2008, or at least that's how they do it in Washington state, but it's definitely been sitting for almost 20 years. Of which, I'm hoping the gasoline wasn't left in it throughout that time? If so, and probably even...

    garmin navionics +/vision

    The reason it is so much clearer on your iPhone or iPad is because those likely have a 4k resolution on their screen as compared to your MFD which is probably 720p, 1080p or something similar. A lot of guys will run an MFD mirrored to their iPad or iPhone as a cheap and easy way of getting two...

    Suggestions for an outboard motor for a 1978 "Duke 175"

    It appears as though your maximum horsepower rating is going to be 125 hp for your vessel, of which in terms of a "legality" or "insurance" reason, the highest you "should" go up to would be a 115 hp outboard. Now, you could likely always go up a bit and I don't think that the Earth will...

    Spreader Light Lens

    Yikes... just giving the OP the information that they specifically asked for. And with that, bowing out now so as to not potentially derail yet another thread. Good luck to the OP with your project/search.

    Spreader Light Lens

    Fellas, it sounds like the OP is just wanting to replace what he has and not swap out his current lights to LED's. To the OP, your light appears to be a Jabsco 45900-3000, of which you might be able to buy a replacement lens, though the replacement lenses look slightly different from the one...

    registration In New jersey.

    It very much depends on where you live, unless Washington state is for some reason an exception to the rule, but with all 3 of my boat purchases I tried paying the sales tax in Maryland because it's about half of what it is out here in Washington state. Each time, I was told by the dealership or...

    Gulfstream fish table

    The ones from the guy on THT look to be a great quality. I think my biggest reservation with mounting a bait table would be the fact that on a 228 Seafarer, you've got the live well right in front of where you'd be mounting it. So, you'd have to offset it forward or something, or else you'd have...

    What to use AGM or wet cell batteries on a Yamaha 225 ox66

    Playing devil's advocate here and then I'll bow out so as to not potentially derail yet another thread... if the AGM batteries do have better vibration resistance, have better consistent voltage and longevity compared to a non-AGM battery, why are companies still selling non-AGM batteries? At a...

    1998 208 Fuel Tank

    Just as an fyi, the 2,650 lbs is the dry weight of the vessel... meaning no fluids or fuel, likely no interior, dash, accessories, trim, batteries, electronics or anything else. Depending on the year, the fuel tank alone appears to be 82 gallons, of which a gallon of gas weighs 6 lbs/gallon...

    Wtb 265 express

    I think a big part of it is going to be location. Lots of boats in the Florida and Southeastern area are going to be exposed to crazy amounts of sun and moisture, of which you're going to have a ton of spider cracks and so forth. Which is generally why I avoid looking at boats in the Florida...

    What to use AGM or wet cell batteries on a Yamaha 225 ox66

    Neither am I, just trying to give a different perspective and a bit of insight into the topic at hand. Another quick Google search is saying that a typical AGM battery will generally only last around 5-7 years, of which I can honestly say I've never had a standard battery not last at least 5...

    What to use AGM or wet cell batteries on a Yamaha 225 ox66

    As stated in my above post, I'm just going off what my local Grady White dealership told me. That being said, a quick Google search would show that in my particular brand of batteries purchased, the AGM version is $100 more than the wet cell. If all things are equal and the AGM's last the same...

    Boat Pricing

    I'm guessing it's the one in Connecticut? Why not buy the one in Florida for $45k less? Also, here's the dealer cost sheet from 2019. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2019-grady-white-gulfstream-232-9441932/ https://seedealercost.com/marine/browse/product/grady-white-boats-232-gulfstream-2019

    What to use AGM or wet cell batteries on a Yamaha 225 ox66

    I talked with my local Grady White dealer when installing new batteries in the late fall/early winter of 2023 and asked about the AGM style, of which they said they'd just recommend the standard wet cell batteries for a few different reasons. The first was the vibration, in that the AGM...
