Yes - but it could still be leaking anywhere else. Does your boat have a carbon cannister? I think it does, correct? I would assume you know yes/no... but topping off is a terrible idea with a carbon canister - you're ruining it and likely plugging it where it will totally clog up and cause...

Can you rexplain your first sentence - I really don't know what you're trying to say there. Yes, the vent plug comes out - but I don't understand why you're thinking of looking at that. Hull vs fill cap... depends. Take a look at your cap to answer that. In the end... you need to pull the...

All boats have basically the same fuel system when you break it down. You need to pull the hatch that's over the tank and start by inspecting the tank, lines, etc. Also the fill/vent line and the fuel line to the motor. You won't (shouldn't if you comfortable very basic plumbing... it's...

You could replace the drink holders with rod holders. Would an Anchorshade work for you, though? Google it.

The one I can measure is 500 miles away... and on a mooring :) But you can very, very easily do it in the water - it's just a straight line measurement. Transfer the bow eye location to the topside then measure. You "might" find this info in your manual - or downaloadable on GW's site.

Try getting in touch with the manufacturer - first see if it's even still produced/made. If so, then ask for recommendations on retailers.

OK, good - that extra info helps clarify things. Yes, the original install would have been WITHOUT the crank-mounted pump. The crank mounted pump will absolutely supply more water than the in-drive pump. If anyone tells you differently, they are flat out wrong. Now, whether you NEED the cank...

But those aren't plastic. Marelon is GREAT stuff - always has been.

You shouldn't have any plastic fitttings below the waterline.

We're missing some info... but I'll make an assumption that you have a Mercruiser with an alpha drive? Assuming that... -- At some point someone added the crank-mounted raw water pump. Probably becasue there was an issue with the standard raw water pump in the drive. -- The drive pump may...

Very nice! One side note to think about (with the intent of just helping to make it better!)... the cover may flap aginst your cushions and cause wear over time. Consider stiching some white felt-like material where it would contact cushions. This will also prevent color transfer (which...

Ah, OK. Thanks for the pics - that clears it up nicely. Strange... it actually seems like there is very little allowance for various dash thicknesses. Off the top of my head, another idea or two... How far into the "dash pad" does the bolt extend? Meaning, if you eliminated the dash pad and...

Need more info - pics or at least links to these brackets and also what holes you are talking about. It's unclear since you're talking about flush mounting but also mentioned using brackets. But, based on what you've said so far... drill new holes for the screws where they need to be.

Ditto to some things above... Verify tabs are completely up. Make sure you are trimming up enough to eliminate hull steer (too much of the bow in the water, which causes a list) Honestly, I'd be surprised if not having a properly adjusted fin anode will affect list - it's primary function is...

You don't want a SS garboard drain - bronze is better. SS screws are fine with bronze - but yes, you could upgrade to silicone bronze screws. Yes, re-use the existing one if you can. Rotate it if you need to. Bronze stuff is pretty close to a lifetime product. And, yes, don't use 5200...

You can use a $10 battery hold down tray. I drilled 1/2" holes in the vertical section at the corners to let water out.

No, of course you can't buy the parts direct from Grady - just like you can't direct from Ford or Chevy. Sometimes you can find "some place" online to get OEM parts from... but sometimes those places actually charge MORE for the parts than direct from your dealer. Many times, though, OEM parts...

That sounds like a good plan - and that load is a good load to test with it (not "overloaded"). I suspect you're going to see those RPM's jump up quite a lot. Hey, there's worst things than having to go out for another boat ride! :)

Hmmmm.... others with that boat can speak more intelligently than me (well, many, MANY people can!). But you're running a 15" pitch and are 700RPM shy. I guess this depends on what "loaded" means, but that doesn't seem right. You'd have to drop down too many inches. Are you basing that 5300...

You could even just Google for white rubber bumper stop.
