    BAD GAS

    You said your tried disconnecting the fuel line from where it enters the water separator filter (before it enters the motor) and "sucking it out", but that didn't work. Try just connecting a long section of hose to that disconnected fuel line with a fuel primer bulb to SIPHON all the gas out...

    1983 Grady -White modifications ...... from a while back... still going strong as of 7-15- 2023

    I never saw a GW transom set up like that before with those motors set so far apart....she must spin on a dime when throttles are opposed!

    trim tabs

    Yeah saw that, puzzled me too...might have something to do with the 265 hull I guess....seems like that heavy girl has her own peculiarities. But I ALWAYS use the tabs on my 259G Trophy Pro....Can't imagine not using them, they are indispensable! For example, even if the weight in your boat...

    Low battery voltage

    I had a similar issue with my 1988 Trophy Pro....stated getting codes on my 7" Evinrude screen telling me that the port Etec motor lost communication with the control head (electronic binnacle). After chasing down all the wrong possible causes it turned out to be my circa 1988 original battery...

    Trolling for stripers

    As already mentioned, Boat type makes no difference to the fish. But here is a deadly combo I'd suggest: Stretch 25 or Nomad 220 on a 20 foot long 60 lb mono leader, tied to a 8 oz trolling drail, connected to 60 lb BRAID. (you need the braid to allow the rig to cut down into the water and run...

    Sea Deck

    My SeaDek has been holding up great so far in the FlaDa sun (installed 12/1/2020). Fish blood or bait does not make any stains as long as you clean up the mess and hit it with the salt water wash-down....which you would do anyway even it there was no deck covering. The only issue is it's...

    Quick question: Wireless phone charger - will it interfere with magnetic compass if mounted too close?

    Thanks guys, you saved me some work. Based on your comments I did a quick search and it seems that leaving the iPhone on the charger for an extended period after it has reached 100% does no harm. :)

    Quick question: Wireless phone charger - will it interfere with magnetic compass if mounted too close?

    Update: no interference with the Compass at all even though it’s mounted within 8” or so of it. The Scanscrut ROKK recharger works great with my iPhone SE, fast recharging, with great spring loaded “arms” on the mount that hold the phone securely in place even in rough seas. This is the one...

    Engine Trim not working?

    Doesn’t make sense. Your video proves that the trim motor WAS working and the ram didnt move in either direction. (I assume you were trying both the UP and DOWN buttons) So, a defective relay would have nothing to do with the ram moving or not, since it is an electrical component effecting...

    Quick question: Wireless phone charger - will it interfere with magnetic compass if mounted too close?

    Thanks guys, great answers! Amazon will be delivering my new Sanscrut ROKK charger in a couple of days, I will let you know if it affects my compass when it’s mounted on that console “shelf” on the port side of the steering wheel.

    Quick question: Wireless phone charger - will it interfere with magnetic compass if mounted too close?

    if so, how far away does it need to be? Thanks for your input!

    NJ fishing reports

    We were at Barcardi area on Friday 7/15, left dock at 2 AM, trolled in the area from false light to 2 PM. Whales, dolphin, tuna chicks, shearwaters, lotsa life in the area...but only 2 knockdowns for us, 1 of which was lost (along with a $120 wide tracker and 100 yds of line) immediately due to...

    NJ fishing reports

    YFT are close at Little Italy and vicinity right now. Try trolling with wide trackers or jigging if the marks are deep. 50 pound class fish were caught yesterday by my buddies who left on another boat. I was on the way out at 4 AM yesterday (7/17) on a friend's boat and had a motor quit on us at...
