Let's get some competition going... Threaded plastic ferrule to tie throttle/shift cable together(old and new) to pull thru conduit. Holesaw hack to drill a smaller hole out larger.

It will break off. Talk to a welder. Replace it if he can't repair it.

On my Vetus bow thruster it is behind the prop in the lower unit. This is where it should be on all bow thrusters. Pulling the motor must be a pain.

What model SidePower thruster do you have? SidePower does not have a shear pin on the back side of the propeller. Instead it is under the electric motor and drives the lower unit.

Looking at your boat layout and where the conduit tubes are there are places where cable are going to be ties to the boat. For example the electrical panel in in the middle of the boat and forward of the conduit tubes. You are really going to need to open panels up and investigate. Understand...

So this appears to be an AI response to a GG post "Where is the ground?". Arish12: Where is the Ground? is a powerful question that resonates on multiple levels—both literal and metaphorical. On one hand, it may refer to a search for stability, a place to land, or a foundation to stand on. On...

Thanks for that insightful explanation or where the ground wires for the bilge pumps are. We are all searching for that mysterious connection point where the two ground points come together. Many of the GG members have deeply reflected on the decisions made by sadistic engineers to hide the...

I would also use a Permatex fuel safe gasket maker on both sides of the gasket. Be careful you done strip out the screw holes ovrtightening. https://www.permatex.com/products/gasketing/speciality-gasket-makers/permatex-motoseal-1-ultimate-gasket-maker-grey-2-7-oz/

There are PVC pipe chases installed in the GW boats. Download your Owners Manual from GW to see approximately where they are located. Pulling new wires thru these chases using the same wire path can be a problem. Especially with large cables or bundles. Most of the time other wires sit on top...

You need to resize photos on my MAC PC. iPhone can resize them but you have to use the iPhone to post. How about a picture of this mysterious "bubble"? How many years ago was it re-cored? Did the original have any braces (like in my photos)? If so were they installed? Everything glassed in from...

I doubt it's just a small section that delaminated. Fiberglass will flex enough if there is something underneath it. Probably didn't replace the full core when they did the work. These hatches tend to get water inside them. The perimeter screw holes are most likely suspect. Possibly the pie...

As Chris stated there is a good chance something is miswired. On my 1997 Islander all wiring was original, unhacked. What I hated most was all the miscellaneous ring-terminal wires that connected to the battery terminal. Some are not color coded (like green wires for the original Yamaha fuel...

Your going to have to live with the mystery...get over it. If it bother you that much re-run the wires - mystery solved.

Don't waste your time. All the Facebook jabber is real lightweight and not very interesting. Lots of silly repair or general questions from people that shouldn't even own a boat! Given all the FakeBook posts (giant fish, fake news political stories, etc) it's become useless to me. Facebook is a...

Where is the OP CanadaJoe? What's going on?

As SkunkBoat said - repair from the bottom. Take it all out, use a composit and epoxy to repair and be done with it. Done right done once.

I'm assuming you are talking about the interior. I don't understand why you would want to cover up a good looking floor. The F&S sportfish I fish on puts a Sunbrella like cover over the wood floor and rolls out a Costco runner over the top when we are fishing. Sunbrells wears well and can be...

The problem with these heads is using salt water for flushing. It seems to interact with the waste in the tank and sours. Fresh water systems smell much better. The answer is to empty the tank ASAP, fresh water rinse and empty again. You can do this at a pumpout station if one is convenient. I...

On my boat they are direct to the battery. Positive sides are fused. Get back there and follow the wires. Take the miscellaneous black wires off one at a time. On my boat they connect to an automotive style battery terminal. I installed them to keep the connections together when battery is...

Download the GW Owners Manual from GW site. Look at the wiring diagram. Will show how bilge pumps are wired and fused.
