Hey, you two guys ought to shut your trap. RockLobster used the classified forum of our Great Grady forum to advertise his boat ads being for sale. He is very upfront with the work that has been done and is expecting to have a discussion about that topic with individuals interested in purchasing...

Before you buy parts with a prayer, check where the muti-wire connector plugs into the unit. I had a failure of the tiny wires where they met the plastic plug-in connector. They were broken off flush, so I had to purchase a new cable. This is the connector at the hydraulic pump. You can see the...

Time to plan a repower. Let a rebuilder do what he does and you can go your merry way. A rebuilder will give you a decent amount for your engine and put another on in one day.

I second the Rubbermaid tub.

The fuel system is one place where cost savings should not control what you install. When the day is done and it's 40 miles to the shore and the night is coming, it is a good feeling to know you have the best fuel system you could provide. IMHO

It seems that forums such as ours are gradually losing readership and membership due to the aggressiveness of the ads. Some are worse than others, but it is ultimately going to kill this form of communication. IMHO The eavesdropping going on is out of hand also. My wife and I were in our car...

I agree that the Scouts are sweet looking. I have considered them in the past. Looking at the specs, they always showed up considerably lighter than the Grady. I couldn't get over thinking they were not as robust as the Grady. That may not be true, only in my mind maybe, because I was never...

Brian, several of us have changed rides, me included, but we haven't been blacklisted yet. It would be a shame if we didn't get to see some of your handywork in your projects, so keep at it. I'm up there in years also and I do wonder a bit at times, just why the devil doesn't want us yet. Don't...

You could install a small pie plate inside the electronics box so you can reach the nuts.

Most hardware stores carry 304 stainless steel screws and bolts. I ask our local West Marine guy id their screws are 316 SS. He said..."uhhh, I don't know"....Which means no. McMaster and Carr is a good source but expensive and makes for a time lag in a project.

Just a note to everyone to check your Home Depot store, next time you're in. I was in my local HD store in SW Florida and they have a small display of some common stuff, all in 316.

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here. You say these gears are "sticking". What are they sticking to? From what I can see in the parts diagram, that is the intermediate gear reduction set. Those two gears are supposed to be locked together. The small pinion gear on the electric...

If you have a load tester, leave the battery cables connected to the new battery that reads low periodically and disconnect the cables at the other end. Connect your load tester on that end of the battery cables and apply the load there. That will test the battery cables also. You didn't say how...

JLR, If the new battery was dropping in voltage while underway, I would say that your problem is in your charging systems. The voltage should not need to drop to low values before the alternator wakes up. It should be putting out 13+ volts all the time. Even at idle on the muffs if you have it...

If you are not with a state recognized, regulated tour, it is considered harassment to mess with them. There are springs up around Crystal River that have tours I believe, and you can rent kayaks and paddle around them. Just remember that those things weigh around a thousand pounds or more when...

This is some repair and maintenance info from Richie. There are lots of different models. If your model accepts fluid replacement, you can most definitely do it yourself. It's not brain surgery. https://www.ritchienavigation.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ritchinavigation-servicemanual.pdf...

This link has a part number on it. Maybe you can find one on your part. This Fisheries supply is a good outfit to find good stuff on. https://www.fisheriessupply.com/marinco-premier-wiper-blade/33028s You can call those guys and talk to an intelligent human being.

Marinco still makes the AFI line. Is this the one you have. A phone call to Defender may answer your question. https://defender.com/en_us/marinco-afi-deluxe-windshield-wiper-blade

Looking at that skeg anode makes me think the previous owner had the boat in the water where there was some strong stray current existing. That could easily erode the anode in a short time and corrode the case of the pump motor. That is not a big deal. Just expect to have those obviously damaged...
