    head odor and potential mod

    I think you've seen the threads linked below. There is nothing more inherently awful than a toilet on a small boat. I went 24 years without one and only once had to shittinabucket. My crew now requires a functioning head. So I went for it and fixed the pump and the freshwater so they can wash...

    Adding radar to Fisherman 222

    Grady e box is usually fed with 10 awg. It runs lights/spreader lights( get LED spreaders!!!) /VHF/ maybe an MFD IMO you should run the radar power to down to the main terminal blocks with with the provided cable and inline fuse. I'm assuming your 22 has +/- terminal blocks that feed a fuse...

    Tools, what do you have on your boat

    Ya. I have way too much. I used to have a small toolbox with no trays and everything piled in it. Got aggravated with that so now I have a three drawer toolbox that has way too many tools in it . heavy as hell. Keeps accumulating more and more when I’m working on the boat over the winter I...

    Went back up to the green can at Shrewsbury rocks yesterday. We got 9 keepers between three of us. Thats a boat limit! That doesn't happen often since they upped the size to 18". Again,lost a lot of jigs and lead...painful but worth it. You don't get a limit fishing in sand .

    Slight leak lower unit seep

    It can only be water (possibly mixed with exhaust ) or gear oil. If it was gear oil I think you would know because you'd have an oil slick around the boat.

    Heavy List underway

    First, if you have a set of trim tabs, raise them up and verify they are both all up. Leave them alone while you try to troubleshoot the list. Yes, not having a trim tab anode on a single motor can cause "list" when running because you are steering to compensate for not having the tab. This is...

    Google boat tank vent fittings Get stainless steel or chrome over brass Do not buy ZAMAC or chrome/zinc. Stainless steel may run a rust line Tha Most Grady had vented fuel fills. That is probably a waste tank vent
