    Raymarine C120 DSM30 Location

    I'm going to guess it is a 15"X8"X 3" or so box. Clearly labeled on the outside. No serviceable parts. You can lose the DSM if you 12V droops. Check your batteries and also if you are running anything at the same time. I can loose mine for a minute or so when using the anchor windlass when...

    Generator for A/C

    Agree, just place as far away from the cabin as you can. I see the Honda on a lot of boats these days.

    Freedom 255 Delta anchor?

    Go stainless you cheapskate!! Just kidding. I had a galvy for years. Was trolling the Amazon Warehouse Deals and came upon a SS Delta that was missing original packaging but priced as a quick sale as a galvy. The price was 1/3 the equivalent galvy which was great. When it came it was indeed...

    Aft floor drains

    Use the hose and blast them out. Then stick your finger in the flap and push it inside the thru hill so your finger can get under it, pull it out and up. The crap usually collects behind the flap. Once you have it cleared, blast it again. Prob a collection of leaves, twigs and other stuff...

    Trailering a Marlin 300

    Do what you can to minimize weight (fuel, water, waste levels). It's a beast to trailer and in some states you'll need a special permit. The 2' seems about right but should be easy to measure if you have a trailer. Could also shoot GW Cust Service via the web a question. They trailer them to...

    Freshwater system issue

    I changed my pump last fall. It's just one big radial feed system, each exit point should be independent off the main feed. The pump can be accessed by removing the tackle draw enclosure under the rigging station sink. Plumbing is straightforward (wasn't too impressed to be honest) but a lot...

    Grady vs Scout in the 27-28' range

    I think you have to go in with an open mind, inspect thoroughly and ride both in various conditions. A heavy boat is good for sure but don't let the GW bias get in the way.

    Boat looks nice. The enclosure glass looks great. Nice pre work.

    Hardtop Mounted Outriggers

    I agree, installing them yourself isn't that difficult or time heavy. The biggest thing is measure 3X and drill once. Once you drill the first hole, you're committed, so get at it. On another note, I'm painting the top side of the hardtop this year. Last year I was getting chalk residue on...

    Hardtop Mounted Outriggers

    Tube spacers are plastic pieces of plastic pipe that the ID is just larger than the bolt you are planning to use. You drill the hardtop to the OD of the tube spacer so it fits inside the hole you drilled in the hardtop. After drilling all 4 test fit everything. If it fits, then glue or life...

    Replacing the transom on my 275 Freedom: a photo story

    I like the SS two piece ones but having them in glass is the key.
