Aren’t all those locks keyed alike?

Yamaha debuted electronic shift in 2007 on the V8 F350, I believe. I’m not sure when that migrated down in to the lesser HP models.

Can you reach the area from the anchor locker?

If it makes you feel better, Grady still uses those in brand new boats.

Check out Dometic’s website. They own SeaStar. Don’t think they allow diy for their electric steering system, if that’s what you’re interested in.

I went to EW’s site and looked that model over. It does have an unusual layout relative to most DC’s, but looks to be functional and spacious. On my 248, and it looks similar on the 262, that when you lower the port and stern benches they form a continuous “L” shaped seating area. Also, when you...

Two boats ago I had an EdgeWater 248CX. It was an excellent boat. For its size handled seas solidl. No creaks or rattles. Only reason I sold it was it appreciated significantly. Great choice :thumbs up:

I used G2 for T-top replacement for a previous boat. Removed the old canvas, sent it to them and they turned it around in a few days. Upgraded to the Sunbrella that has a rubber layer underneath which makes it completely waterproof and stopped the water intrusion into the electronics box. They...

Go for it! Life is too short to wish you’d bought a boat. As to the financial side of things, purchase of deprecating assets covers most luxury items bought to entertain ourselves. I never looked at it that way. I looked at it from the cost of ownership view and can I own and have fun with it...

No, just going from experience with adding fire suppression systems to machine tools that use cutting oils for coolant. Our business was supplying machine tools to manufacturers and if they planned to use flammable oil in the machine we would purchase fire suppression systems for the machines...

Just guessing, but usually fire suppression systems are purchased from an outside vendor, installed and interfaced to whatever it’s protecting. I don’t know what type it is but if there is a discharge canister it may have the vendors name on it you could use to get more information on...

I like that your guy controlled the dust. I had bottom paint removed off an Edgewater and they used orbital sanders with 150 grit. I didn’t notice it when I picked the boat up, but when I put a removable cushion back in the boat it was plain to see that sanding dust had stained all the...

Take it to your dealer and trade it:cool:

I think the keys to those are generic and not specific to your boat. Perhaps call a dealer and see if you can borrow one. As long as it’s for that brand lock it should open it.

Instead of adding the hydraulic steering boost pump the dealer quoted initially, I opted to upgrade the engine to digital electronic steering, so no hydraulic steering. Hard to steer both directions indicates a different problem than prop torque in only one direction. Perhaps unhook the motor...

I had a Sea Hunt with F250 and regular Sea Star hydraulic steering that over 4,000 rpm took some effort to steer to port and would easily steer to starboard. I chalked it up to prop steer and lived with it. I did try moving the lower unit anode fin around and it helped a bit, but it still took...

Smaller diameter wheels for the trailer.

The FP genny I had on a Back Cove had an underwater exhaust. Not sure if that system was standard or optional, but it cut the noise and smell quite effectively. Perhaps research to see if your genny has it and/or add it.

In the photo of your boat there are 3 SS screws that are in the underside of the cross bar, facing up. Perhaps those were for the female portion of the slider. Just guessing.…

Looks like that may be the type that the curtain has a male “slider” that slides in to female slots that are attached to your hard top.
