I found the job to be easy and the two I had to do did not take too long at all. I bought the tubes flared on one end and the tool. I got the old ones out easy with a hammer and old chisel. I thought I bought the tubes the right length and extra long ones just in case, but I ended up having...

I noticed when the fuel tank was low on my old Offshore I would get an uncomfortable lean to the starboard side. Weight was pretty even otherwise, one battery on each side, etc. When I had a bigger crowd on the boat and/or a full tank of fuel it didn't seem as bad or that noticeable. I had to...

The sides of the hull should be solid glass. If a through hull was broke and allowing water in, it should just be draining into the bilge. If the glass is solid around the damaged through hull I don't see how it could have a water intrusion issue unless there was a secondary issue with the...

I have one I got from Grady for my 1999. Below is the link to the dropbox file. I have the extended running surface on mine but I would imagine most of the systems would be the same. Section 7 is the "model specific" section. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fumgk9515n04s ... L.pdf?dl=0

I try and make this short. Last trip of the year I noticed the starboard outboard chattering some in gear, about 30min later pulling up to my mooring that motors shift cable snapped. I confirmed it was the shift cable and not the shaft also. I assumed the chattering was from the motor not...

I replaced my drain tubes, I bought the tool and made sure to bed them in real good in 5200. It was not a bad job, I was nervous but the whole process went smooth. My previous '86 Offshore I replaced the drain tubes with the GEM plastic drains in 5200 and I thought the brass tubes went much...

The Venture bunk is defiantly a "budget" trailer, but it fit my needs well. Check them out but if you plan on using the trailer a lot keep that in mind.

If you are trailer regularly I would prefer a roller trailer, depending on the ramp I think it is easier to load. Sounds like you will be using it just once or twice a year though at the beginning and end of season. This is what I do and have a bunk trailer. I do not tow very far at all and...

I figured I would post this since I have not heard of this scam before and fell for it. They didn't get me for much, but I am more frustrated and embraced I even fell for it. My father is selling his 2003 Wrangler and I am typically his "broker". I had the Jeep listed on a few sites and was...

I will look into Flickr, but since they started their new charging thing I started using PostImage.org, its another free service. Photobucket was getting ridiculous with the ads, and now with the subscription I think they made a mistake and will drive most of their users away.

I am sure this has been discussed before, but could not find anything in a search here or on THT. I have a Raymarine C80 and DSM250 on my 27' Grady with a B744V transducer. I maintain bottom lock while underway which I was happy about. Reading the manual it stats auto gain maximizes the units...

My father always says the further away something is the more of a POS it usually ends up being. This sounds like it fit that description! I always keep my eyes peeled for projects, but mostly cosmetic or maybe needing a repower with a used OX66. The deals are out there but I know at least for...

I am not an I/O guy myself, but for $6k that sounds like a pretty good price with a trailer. I would think that in good condition would be $12k+ boat. I am sure no-one is beating their doors down for it if you throw even a lower offer at them and let them sit on it for a week you might be...

As far as the size and layout I would think the bigger the better. We mainly do a lot of day trips to the beach and occasional attempts at fishing with my boat. Had the 24' Offshore before although that did 99% of what I needed, the extra room in the 27' is much appreciated. I would think the...

I think it all depends on the ramp. My Sailfish is a nightmare to load on the ramp closest to me. Since I only pull it once or twice a year I travel about 5-6 miles to a better ramp that makes loading much easier. I think a roller trailer is easier also to load the boat incase you can't get...
