    90" Garmin Kraken on 228

    I found some options on Amazon for a Li Time battery and charger combo that would be a 36v 100ah battery for a reasonable price. I found some other youtube videos where they did a full test on them and they use grade A batteries according to the testing. Probably would start off with 1 battery...

    90" Garmin Kraken on 228

    Thanks for the links, looks good. I assume those are 1" rails on the Grady's.

    89 25.5 Sailfish repower weight question

    For the HPDI's the 200's are awesome in how they start/run and do very well on fuel. However, there is a lot of reading in how to keep them going without causing downstream issues. For me, what I have learned: 1. I run 2 micron fuel filters that are Racor S3220SUL. These must be changed every...

    90" Garmin Kraken on 228

    Hard to tell in the pics, but does the prop on the TM get in the way of an anchor or pulpit? Also, any info about source and parts used to fix the rail would be appreciated!

    Water in Sailfish

    My experiences over time with the same issue: 1. Rub rail not sealed allowing spray to run into the liner and down to the bilge. Had to pull rub rail out and reseal and run another bead of clear silicone on the bottom edge once screwed back in. 2. Rain into the anchor locker in the hole where...

    89 25.5 Sailfish repower weight question

    The older 200hp Yamaha Carbureted motors weigh about 400lbs. The OX66 250's about 525lbs according to Google. Can that hull handle the total HP? My 25 is only rated to 400hp max. Thus twin 200's is the configuration I have and it is very quick to plane and hits 49mph top end. To repower, the...

    Seakeeper Ride on Grady 235

    I think in my case with the 252G, it rides exceptionally well with normal hydraulic tabs. I start my trip heading for the inlet and set the tabs and might have to adjust once out the inlet depending on the direction of the seas, ect. They pretty much go untouched for the next 50 or so miles...

    HPDI 200 - how smooth should it run at low RPM?

    Seems that Pennzoil no longer makes the full synthetic as I could not find any reference to it anywhere. I used to use their semi synthetic as well.

    HPDI 200 - how smooth should it run at low RPM?

    Ok, I went back to Project Farm and also some other references. I feel like I have been reschooled. Pretty sure I have watched these videos before, but didn't catch on about the corrosion protection differences between different additives. The only one he tested that did absolutely no corrosion...

    HPDI 200 - how smooth should it run at low RPM?

    Hi Dennis, yeah, I had mentioned I was switching over to the Techron Marine, but it is still sitting on the shelf since I have not run out of the Startron and Ring Free+ yet. Maybe I will switch over during upcoming season just to see if it helps or not. The hesitation there would be the...

    HPDI 200 - how smooth should it run at low RPM?

    Hi Dennis, sorry to resurrect this old thread, but doing so as at the time of the conversation, I was convinced to move over to Yamalube 2m oil and see if their claimed lower ash content would resolve my carbon buildup issue especially in the O2 sensors. Well, it didn't help and might have been...

    Replacing Faux Wood Cockpit Trim

    Yeah, no worries...nothing meant to be cross in any way. Sometimes posts and words are impersonable and are mis-interpreted. I have tried PVC...it does not do well at all. I currently have starboard as the trim replacement in cockpit area and even with screw holes enlarged, oblong and loose...

    Replacing Faux Wood Cockpit Trim

    Hi Dennis, I assumed Johnyrude was responding to you based on the sequence of the string. I was agreeing with you about the PVC and responding to Johnyrude's comments. I am not agitated. He is saying drive to Home Depot. ;)

    Replacing Faux Wood Cockpit Trim

    So I think Dennis and I are asking specifically about this more in detail. Is it PVC or not? We know PVC is too soft and not a good alternative. Unfortunately, getting in the car and driving to the nearest Home Depot is over an hour drive for me, so if I knew more about what it was, I will check...

    Simrad Nss 12 evo3 ISSUES!

    In some cases it works, but not when they have a software bug. Hard reset did not work.

    Simrad Nss 12 evo3 ISSUES!

    I have had the Lowrance HDS's for years and gone through several models. I now have the HDS 12 Live units and they have been great overall and satisfactory performance. However, just this year the last update screwed up the Sirius Weather and Fish mapping to a point where it was useless and...

    Replacing Faux Wood Cockpit Trim

    I replaced my cockpit trim with Starboard several years ago. Not happy with it, but no other options other than teak or would maybe get some IPE wood and paint it as I think it is water resistant and will hold paint better than a synthetic. For my helm area, still has the duratrim. Used the...
