The ad's are not the problem. You haven't posted since April of 2022. I m seeing a lot of "dead" GG members posting. Not sure how these accounts are being re-activated after years of inactivity. Lot's of "new" members too. Newly revived silly question one post members. The GG site has gotten...

Take a look at my thread below. My advise is to have quality tanks made at a certified tank builder. SP Tanks is too far away from you. I'm sure there are West Coast builders. Use 0.125 aluminum. Have the tank epoxy primed. Install nitril strips with 3M4000 to insulate the tank. Corrosion will...

This is sounding like an AI exercise...too many of them lately. Prove me wrong. You are planning on having the transom rebuilt aren't you? Single engine or twins? You have a speed/peformance issue driving this upgrade? What is the goal? What year is the boat? Euro transom or full transom? Put...

There are 3 thru hulls on the port side. Sink, shower sump and fwd bilge. Other side is one sink. GW used the “tiger stripe” plastic bilge hose to connect to them (since they are above the waterline). With age they become brittle. None of mine have a loop and were not supported. Make sure the...

What did you mount yours to? Nothing but air above mine. And the back of the connector is open. The mount shown above is dry behind it. Receptical has a cover.

Take the other one off carefully and go to Home Depot. They have a good selection in plumbing aisle.

That should work. Good luck!

NAPA. Search GG forums for part numbers, etc. https://www.greatgrady.com/search/2828268/?q=napa+wiper&c[users]=Hookup1&o=date

Any update?

That's good. Trailers are the most overlooked part of the purchase. I tow 1,300 each way in the Winter. I pay a marina on both ends to pull it off and put back on. My trailer has never been "splashed". I like the matching wheel rims too!

Yes. Pull the receptacle out on it's power cable to get access. I drilled a hole for the Marinco 12 volt connector next to the AC power. Wire down to battery area. Installed a small fuse block to power my kite reels. Take a look at post#3. Excuse the cable mess...this has since been cleaned up...

I'm a new 2014 307 Freedom owner that is trying to run power for my downriggers. Port side was easy. Starboard looked impossible . How did you run the power for your reels on the starboard side? Port side is easy! Starboard side I had to remove the AC power cord connector and snake a wire up to...

I hope you had the wheel bearings gone over before you started back.

I'm a Garmin guy but past experience with marine electronics would have me doing a hard reset (check manual). Re-install all software updates, maps, etc. Reconfigure unit options. Happened to my Garmin Fusion radio and SIRIUS antenna a few times. Good luck!

Upgraded a 1997 268 Islander. Repainted hardtop, tower, console bubble and hull. Kept black door on upper electronics box with Garmin 8610xsv and VHF. Flush mounted Garmin 8612xsv in lower station. Newwire gauge panel and switch panel. Width isn't usually the problem in older boats - it's the...

The long 1/2" pvc runs from fwd to aft bilge. It can be plugged as mine was to keep water (or leaking fuel) from getting to the fwd cabin. The other two circled areas are 3/4" pvc couplings that serve as limber holes. They allow whatever is in the compartment the fuel tanks are in to drain back...

There are so many places that could leak that are hidden. Could be rub rail, windows, scupper hoses, it’s a long list. There is a 1/2” pvc pipe in aft bilge that could be plugged to isolate fwd/aft bilge. May help you troubleshoot.

Both bilge pump exhausts on the Islander are mounted high off the waterline (about 18"). There are no check valves. I have broken both plastic thru hulls off at different times. You should check that as a source of your water. The aft one broke when I stored my power cord and dock lines in the...

Switched haylard locks from Rupp to GemLux. Much better locking and less wear. Same setup. Equal length long/short, cam cleat tensioner, detachable clip to stow rigger lines on hardtop when not needed.
