    2006 Gulfstream 232 Spreader Lights

    For sure, white if I was working, blue for at the dock, hook or cruising.

    Added Deck Drain to Rear Cup Holders on Sailfish 282

    Agree but you could just plug the drain line. It would probably never fill to the cup holder unless you were in monsoon season somewhere.

    2006 Gulfstream 232 Spreader Lights

    I tried the inexpensive string with adhesive on the back. Ok for a year or so but then the LEDs started dropping out a few each time. The lumitec bars are pricey but really are the best for the marine environment.

    2006 Gulfstream 232 Spreader Lights

    The Lumetec bar lights and bulbs in the cockpit lights work the same way. I tied the bar lights into the cockpit light conductors and the switch at the helm powers all 4. The Lumitec bar lights operate the same way. One press they are white, second press they are blue.

    Headliner repair

    I used the more costly JB Weld Plastic glue bonder. 2 part mix and then used a large tong depresser to apply it to the crack. Worked it in and smoothed it out. It sanded ok but not the best. Make sure you smooth it out as best as you can and don't touch it once it starts to set. Then sand...

    Here is the post from the past... The Wave One spreader lights are holding up great. Jan 19, 2025 Add bookmark #4 My boat came with the larger Hella halogen lights that I swapped out with LED about 10 years ago. They work great, but the cases are starting to flake. Santa brought me a...

    2006 Gulfstream 232 Spreader Lights

    I changed mine with the blue/white combo a few years ago. They mount the same way under the hardtop. 2 wire feed to each light. Press the switch button once the light is white, press it 2X it is blue. I also changed the cockpit light bulbs to blue and added the under gunnel led lights. I...

    2006 marlin 300 led panel

    It's really a meter board, there is no enclosure around the meter itself. The company redesigned the product with an enclosure. It's bigger. It may fit, but you have to cut the panel and maybe figure a way to mount it. It's pretty tight behind the breaker panel.

    Journey 258 Rigging Compartment

    I have a 2KW shoot thru transducer inside the hull. I think it is the way to go.

    Yamaha 250 Block Corrosion

    If you can step up, look at the Marlin. I found the 282 very tight in the helm area.

    2023 Dockage Rates

    Still $37 a foot where I am in the yacht club. Safe Harbors got bought out so you know the marinas are going up up up. For me the yacht club was the ticket.

    Drink Holder-2002 330 Express

    It's a custom GW part. Likely not going to get it unless you find a scap boat. I'd go the starboard route and have a cabinet guy make one up.

    These guys did mine. They did an excellent job but they are expensive.

    2002 Marlin 300 - looking for advice, tips, things to avoid?

    1,) Chair. Check out the Llebroc line of chairs for the helm chair. They build them for GW. Won't sell you the exact chair, but they sell the same model without the GW do-dads. Taller, seat folds as a bolster, high back and excellent arms. The GW chairs prior to the new ones by Pompanette...

    Engine Tilt Switch

    First thing I'd do it hit them with WD40. When mine sticks or is intermittent I do this and they pop back to life. Happens about every other year. Now as part of my pre-storage items I hit the one on the binnacle and the two individual ones.

    305 awkward helm

    It's 10lbs in a 5lb bag, I'd look elsewhere unless you keep the boat. Otherwise you'll give $ up on the resale.
