    Transom Cap replacement

    That transom cap is pretty good shape from other that have been posted here. Considering the potential expense that could be incurred from a wet transom , it is is better to be safe than sorry!

    Snap Unfastener

    Not sure if it actually stretched - its possible it just allowed pulling the panel along the track for a better alignment with the snap.

    Snap Unfastener

    I had my side curtains remade this past summer and when the person that made the curtains came to install them, she had a tool that would grab the snap from the outside and allow her to pull the sunbrella fabric until it was able to be snapped. After a few hours the sunberella stretched and they...

    aGrady has been out of the inboard market for quite some time. Good overall boat for your needs and family size would be a 22 for Seafarer. The Seafarer has a cuddy cabin and walk around and a few different transoms. I believe a swim platform was available on all mode;;s. It is a good all-around...

Many boats in the marina with thrusters have tough times docking. A few years ago I notice the police boats and Sea Tow boats were all docking...

    Time for an electronic upgrade

    Hook up - thanks for the info - I suspect the size is similar between the two boats. I like the flush mount you did on lower helm . Does the 8612xsv flush mount you have installed just two pieces of starboard. That set up allows for much larger screen that the units that fit entirely in the...

    Winterizing a 232 Gulfstream

    Some people will use a plunger cup aattached to anti freeze jug and run the pump to suck anti freeze through it. Some say they just run the pump with the seacocks once the boat is out of the water. that clears water from the pump and anything before pump will drain out. The head I just add a...
