So how did you confuse varnish with water? If the tank is half full of water, I suggest you pull the sender and use a hand pump to siphon/pump out the water on the bottom of the tank. You should be able to tell by color and smell when you got most of the water and when yu are pumping gas. The...

It is very important to inspect the rods for scratches, corrosion, damage etc. The smallest imperfection can result in a leak. If you can feel it, it may leak with new seals.

Did you add a treatment for the winter layup? If so did you happen to use a separate bottle for each tank:) Sometimes captains unknowingly leave the cap seal on the fuel treatment bottle and if flows down the fill line and clogs the flow. I highly doubt you would do that to both tanks. It is...

Some of the newer vapor canister systems are a bit complex and difficult to troubleshoot, especially the gurgling gas during filling issue,

What exactly are you looking for? The outriggers them selves or a gunnel mount for the outrigger pole. Here is a pole in 1 1/8 or 1 1/2...

Get the make and model number of the trailer you are looking at. Go to the manufacturers web page and you will probably find the stern to bow eye spec but more importantly the spec will give a range of adjustment for fine tuning the winch stand location. That range is usually 2 maybe 3 feet. The...

That stuff looks awful. Regarding the tank in general, that model should have a plastic tank. At least 2001s and newer did. The best approach would be to drain the tank through the sender hole. Add some new fuel (E10 preferably) and hit the seas and doing what you can to stir up the tank. Carry...

Was the gas you out in ethanol? I think there may be water in the tank since your motor died when getting on plane. In that case the bow is angled up and the gas and water move aft in the tank in effect making the water level deeper. Now the motor may be sucking mostly water. To check, dump...

Agreed:)

If you have three hydraulic cylinders and you probably do, are all leaking or just the trim (outer) cylinders? The center (tilt) cylinder is a bit more difficult to replace seals and would require another size pin wrench Inspect the tilt ram rods for any corrosion or gauges, etc. If they are...

are your trim/tilt pumps not working or leaking? If leaking, where are they leaking.

What are you looking for? Here is a link to a Groco bronze fitting...

My new to me 2020 non grady boat has only Forespar Marelon composite thru hull seacocks.

this might be a fit;not sure https://www.go2marine.com/Plastic-Steering-Wheel-Center-Cap-For-150-and-170-Series_2

That makes sense.

You dealer's statement about the 232 being a best seller is pure bull. Grady has discontinued the 232 due to poor sales. I have spoken multiple times over the last several years to Grady reps about the 232. By a large margin the best selling models have been mid size bow riders.

Most likely all is OK. It's important to make sure the line did not get wrapped around the prop shaft, in the space between the hub of the gear carrier housing ( like fishing line can do) On another subject, there was a post a while ago about an audible alarm when a motor stalled. In your case...

The drain fitting would most likely be bronze or maybe stainless. The screws should be stainless and bedded with 4200 or something like Life Seal

Agreed, but I believe the number is not the figure needed for classification. The displacement number you calculated changes depending on what is loaded in the vessel. The displacement classification doesn't change. Here is some info from the Yachting and Booting forum. As already put...

The weight of the loaded vessel is not the same as displacement. In simple terms, displacement is how much weight can be added to the hull without the boat taking on water and sinking . The displacement may be greater than the loaded weight calculation you mentioned. The displacement figure for...
