if you have the seacock open, does it fill while you are underway without the pump running? the high speed pickup should still fill it without the pump when underway. that would prove out everything but the pump. if it fills, you know its the pump. if it doesnt fill, you know its in the plumbing

side note...how tight does everyone tighten their drain plug? do you crank down on it, or just snug it? i want to tighten it enough to not let water drip in, but i dont want to twist the fitting in the transom hole

when i bought my boat (admittedly an older vintage and a bit smaller), i was looking at the GW and WC. with the way the market was then, i could get more boat for the money with GW. also, i wanted a cc and the cat didnt have a stand up head, but thats not an issue for the DC. if you have...

wrapped up last night, i had nice strong wood for the screws to grip. on to the nex mini project...

im pretty sure i just paddled through your community marina last week. my wifes family has a place in ocean view and i paddle around to the different marinas and look at all the boats. good luck with your sale!

there may be water trapped between a stringer (think longitudinal internal frame rail) and the side of the boat that isnt draining to the center bilge. these boats are foam filled so they still float when overturned. its possible that something is leaking water in and the foam has become water...

Im resealing my drain plug fitting. The screws that were there are a bit short (maybe 3/4" at most) and i am putting new ones in that are longer at 1 1/4". There is plenty of transom thickness at around 3". Question - Should I pre drill the holes the deeper to full 1 1/4" depth, or run the...

oddly enough, between being in the shade from the top and the wind, i would often get a bit cold running the boat originally. we did have an unusually cool spring so water temps were down. also, i still get some wind from the sides. the cc setup without the wings is much narrower than the...

all the squigly line patterns remind me of hotel curtains and carpets

The old navy blue t-top on my Chase had seen better days and even though the tape keeping it together was holding strong, it was time for a new top. also, i hated the wind pattern from the factory windshield. it would go over the windshield, hit the overhead box, and come down my face in a...

pics would help. do you already have an old wire that you can use to pull thorugh?

the new style grady white looks good on the side

just do your best measuring and add several feet

the best way is to just drop you boat off at your local canvas shop. they can do a custom job exactly how you want it. they dont need to be "grady experts", just good at canvas

like said above, non-bracket gradys were the ones known for the moisture issues. the aluminum cap on the transom would deteriorate and let moisture in. i think it was1998 that grady switched greenwood xl for the transom (pretty sure the stringers, too). it is much more rot resistant. they...

a few of us have replaced tanks recently. its definitely easier on some boats than others. let us know what you find and how we can help

prioritize things that help you to keep floating. 1 deck drain hoses (if your model has them). they can dryrot, fail and allow water into the boat 2 bilge pump 3 pick up fittings and shut off valves then i would go afte things that help you to move and steer, then everything else. where are...

i dont see why you couldnt call any dealer and have them ship to you. Taylor Marine is the closest to me and they sell things on Amazon

as a last resort, you could put in polycarbonate. you might have to work with material thickness to get it dialed in right and may have to be creative in how you hold it in place while your adhesive cures. i say this because i am getting poly carbonate stitched into a piece of canvas to have a...

best advice i can give is to call ken at prop gods. beyond that, id call grady and see what they put on the boat with that motor. im guessing you will have to drop to a 13 pitch based on your current numbers, but that seems low
