what will you get on Axiom that you don't already get on 9" garmin and 9" Raymarine? You can connect zuke to N2k but you need an N2k power isolator. The zuke gauges get power from "their" N2k bus. If you connect that bus to your "Boat" N2k you need the isolator which (internally) only has...

So I can't find the threads were we lamented 265 express trim tabs. Must have been someone elses thread. I would have tagged it 265 express and Trim Tabs. The jist of it is that they will yank the boat over when you turn a few degrees. If you had indicators it might help. There was a kit that...

265s have special short actuators. The sensor in the new kit won't work on the existing pistons. the shaft is short. I looked into it in the past. I'll try to find that thread. Also, tabs on 265x suck and hurt more than they help. Put em up, pull the fuse. :) ____________

Ok if we’re going to figure out what is specific to your boat, we need more information. Which one of those crusty green switches in the picture is your bilge auto manual switch? Which wires on which switches are you saying are the manual wire and the auto wire? Show us the top of the switch...

Yeh....Thats obvious.... But you don't need a switch position for auto

I agree I would not burn bad gas in my car. He said the boat ran fine. I'm going under the assumption that the gas is usable. It has year old gas and he's worried about it going bad. Cleaning it won't make it new gas. I would not add new gas to 100 gallons of year old gas unless I was going to...

Was the original switch an Auto/manual? My Grady and many others only had a Manual switch. The "auto" float switch was fed from a battery. It may have connected at the battery switch COM terminal so it would not get shut off when the battery switch was off. There was a blade fuse holder...

Maybe you can get someone to take the gas?

3M Finesse It 2 works pretty good for what you describe. Then needs wax... Oh....not done by hand.... forget my recommendation...I didn't read..... You would need a buffer.

If you have ~200 gals of 1 year old (or older?) gas you are better off removing it and burning it in cars & lawn mowers(assuming it is not garbage). Then clean the tanks and start fresh with only what you might burn in a season. If thats what you mean by Polish, then yes do that. Don't just...

Think about using a better hose. I used 1.5" Series 148 PVC hose. There is no metal in them. Not rubber. Smooth surface inside & out. Great for clamps. Series 149 is black. There are others that will work well also

Start it on an angle to start slotting the hole. Then turn straight tofinish the hole. Not just widening the hole. Works on metal too. Ask me how I know....

step drill bit on an angle... I remember when I replaced my helm, I had to buy the complete helm & tilt combo because you cant buy just the helm (a helm without tilt has a different shaft. The helms and tilts were redesigned at some point. You can't mix & match. New Helms got ORB fittings. Tilt...

I put three of these LOXX pull-it-up fasteners on the center helm piece. I have rigid ploycarbonate "glass" that folds inward and up to the E-box. got them on Sailrite.com Get "The Tool"! The old outside "DOT" snaps on the windshield frame always came loose and were hard to snap from...

I added (half-assed) bracing because it seemed to me that I could flex the 3/8" plate when the motor was down. Thats 8' of leverage and a heavy & powerfull motor. The brace needs improvement but works much better than nothing. The folded corner has too much play. If I was a welder this would be...

Launched Thursday. Friday opening day of seabass. Sucked. One keeper 4 tiny ones. Where are they ? I did, however, have my best blackfishing day in years although they’re out of season. Five between 15 and18”. And got to try out my new toy….. Kraken . Absolutely a game changer. I...

Nice catch. Don't blame the circle hooks. They work much better than J hooks when freespooling live bunker. Dont set the hook, just let it run a few seconds and then reel. I have best success hooking bunker in nose, not the back. In the back they get plucked off.

another season, another trouble. So, last year I ended up with a Racor filter&bowl on one side and Sierra filter&bowl on the other side. This year I bought two Racor filters. The Sierra Bowl really just doesn't work right on the Racor filter. The O-ring is different. I put one racor filter on...

I have a center rigger that clamps to the rod rack on the hardtop. The telescoping pole is removable from the mount. Slightly off center due to a rodholder in center. Don't remember where I got it. Halyard is 400# mono thru a glass ring (old school) bungee'd to the crossmember of the hardtop...
