    Freshwater system issue

    It's not like the tubing is going to zig-zag all over the place. This stuff is laid in place before the two halves of the boat are put together and they're not going to use more tubing than they need, you know? Plus, if you think about it, it's all within just 30' of each other.

    Freshwater system issue

    You don't need the new faucet to diagnose. Plumbing on boats is pretty straight forward - not too hard to figure out by yourself once you take a little time - just take some time and inspect - it'll make sense.

    Aft floor drains

    Even old flappers shouldn't stop water from draining. Look inside for a clog... or aim a hose on full blast right into the floor drain. But, yes, they are readily available for purchase and super easy to replace.

    New-to-me 2005 tournament 205 companies that made each part

    You found a company that can do all of your seats without having the boat on site? I've never heard of that. I think you found a unicorn. Skip the ski pylon - get a Turbo Swing. It's much better. Bow cover? You can source the cover the same company that made your other canvas - look at the...

    Freshwater system issue

    At least we're getting paid to help here... oh wait, that's right, we're NOT - we're giving up our valuable, free time to try and help others simply because we, for some strange reason, enjoy it..... well, most of the time, anyways.

    Freshwater system issue

    Did you answer this one? If so, then I missed it. "Does each faucet have it's own shut-off?"

    Trailering a Marlin 300

    In lieu of someone that is trailering their Marlin responding.... Personally, no - but from experience with hundreds and hundreds of boats....... In your Grady owner's manual will be dimensions/specs (avail online, too). The boat will sit roughly 2' off the ground when on a trailer. Does...

    Freshwater system issue

    Thanks - it may not seem important to you, but it helps alleviate questions we may have. Still waiting on my second question. It also helps if you fully read everything we write :) :) In lieu of a new faucet that you just ordered... can you just plug/block the line? You don't need to turn...

    trolling motor

    Personally, no. But I know I've seen previous posts about this. Try doing some searches for it. I know they're there... assuming my memory still works.

    Freshwater system issue

    Check my second question, please. Also, although you said you just bought the boat, it wasn't clear if this was a new issue for you, or not.

    How to run engine in a bucket?

    Ha! Just realized the OP was me... over a decade ago!!! That was my first go around with a large OB and trying to run in a bucket. Yes, a 55-gallon plastic drum from Craigslist (often times found for free) WILL work.

    Freshwater system issue

    On your boat, do you have a water distribution manifold or all the lines interconnected? Does each faucet have it's own shut-off? You didn't mention if this is a new issue? Assuming no WDM or shutoff and that it's a new issue... just like at home, remove the aerator and clean. That's the...

    Flag In Bow?

    Fly it where you want and go boating :) In my opinion, choosing to fly the American flag trumps location.

    S3213 fuel/water separator filter- Racor vs China noname from Amazon

    I wouldn't be surprised if there are differences on the inside, as well. I once had about 20 oil filters that were used on Mercruiser small blocks (all from recent oil changes at the shop). There were Mercruiser brand, Sierra, Fram, etc. I cut a whole bunch of them apart. Obvious...

    Grady 360 Express Sharrow props anyone tried/happy?

    This has actually been talkled about a number of times here on the forum if you wanted to search to read more info. In every post I have personally read, I haven't yet come across someone who is using them. However, don't limit yourself to just Grady's - for the sake of what we're talking...

    Head Door Gasket

    You could just call a dealer and tell them what you need - they'll do the legwork and figure it out. Otherwise, as noted, MC is a good source for lot's of these things. Look closely at the different types of foam rubber, though.

    Battery Charger to stay away from or REMOVE ASAP

    That's amazing timing - I just recently learned of this brand. I don't recall if it was on this forum or the Sea Ray forum - but someone commented that they had that charger. I had never, previously, heard of them. I thought the name sounded like Chinese junk, though turns out, they've been...

    Grady 336 Fresh Water Tank Sending Unit

    It was in the part that talked about the various components of the boat - there was a paragraph or two about it. Or, at least, the one that I looked at from GW's site had it. Maybe you have something different?
