    306 canyon - do engines touch water when raised?

    Didn't solve yet to my knowledge. Going to the boat show this weekend and will check.. Just a bigger stainless bang plate to sell it. As we used to say in the electronics biz, sell your issues as a feature..... If I ever buy a new one, I will require the factory to do it correctly before the...

    Sound System Install 1994 232 Gulfstream

    Sounds ok from here. I did the same with a Fusion Head to a pairs of 8" speakers in the helm, a smaller pair in the cabin (can't remember size) and the the Fusion 2 channel amp (just using 1 channel) for two additional 8" speakers that I cut in to the cockpit. Was going to do a sub but don't...

    306 canyon - do engines touch water when raised?

    Both are design defects. Crappy hull to liner joint (then cover it up) is clearly #1. Not having your engines being able to get out of the water 100% #2.

    Auxiliary Berth Cushions --- Need your Help

    I'd take measurements and make some brown bag or cardboard templates. If you are not comfortable, have a marine upholstery shop stop by and do it fo you.

    Larger beam GWs were cored with balsa at one time. Not sure about today with the no wood claim.

    Canvas cost for a 33 Express

    Check A&J Canvas in Vanceboro NC. They made if for GW. Send them your original, they copy it and send a new one out. Same material as OEM. Your price seems reasonable to me if for the same grade material.

    180 Glove Box Door Panels

    I'd template them with brown paper and cardboard. Once you get the first template done, transfer to a sturdy material and either have fabricated or do it yourself with starboard.

    Hit dock a little hard

    I'd inspect the inside of what I could in the area and also the gelcoat side again. If both have no damage, you are very likely ok.

    Grady 330 Express vs 300 Marlin

    The walk allows rapid and safe access to the bow which in my opinion a big factor. You give up room, but if you need to get to the windlass or assist in docking the WA offers it. The 30'er will be fine for two. Walking around a boat on the hard or at a show is not representative of doing the...

    Macerator location on 01 sailfish 282

    Macerator location on 01 sailfish 282

    Under the mid birth. Remove the cover. Locate the holding tank. It's the black soup sized motor. Can't miss it.

    Flush mount rod holders on bow for shade poles?

    They are out there. They key is to know what is behind/below where you plan to drill. It is a water intrusion opportunity.

    Tricycle of choice?

    Check amazon and search for "tricycle with push handle". I like these for the parental control.

    Anyone fish out of Morro Bay

    I'd check the regional forums below on the main page. Might get more action there.

    I don't know. The center helm was quite tight for a boat that size. To each his own, but I'd never go for a center helm in anything smaller than a 45'er.

    Anybody Using MarCell?

    I've been using a remote temp water sensor at the 2nd house for years now. Recently changed to Verizon and their router is not reliable at 2.4G. Seems that most of the network temp sensors run at 2.4G. I see this company offers water bugs as well as temp/humidity. Units run $100 to $300...

    Agree. Fix the transom and you have a winner.
