It's that time of the year and in getting my 27 year old boat ready I'm wondering what Teak Oil and or Sealer to buy this time. My biggest problem is the swim deck which takes the most abuse, saltwater and sun. In the past I've used a Teak treatment that had a varnish in it and that seemed to...

My Bennett trim tabs are not working at all. There is current to the motor because every time I push both switches to either bring both tabs up or down my battery alarm on my fish finder goes off. I also checked the fuse and replaced it to be sure too. I have been trying to find a replacement...

After my mechanic did my spring service on my 88 Seafarer he told me that I should replace my helm. There is a lot of play and a ringing noise I get when I turn from one side or to the other. There also something like a snap to the ringing when I turn too. Is there anything I can do or adjust to...

I need to replace two broken clips on my battery box lids. Does anyone know where other than a Grady White dealer I can get these?

There are a lot of bottom paints out there. I've been using almost a gallon of Interlux's Micron Extra which is a little more than one coat every year. My boat is in salt water for more than 6 months and for the most part I run it on an average of once a week. Every year I have some barnacles on...

Is there a way I can replenish the fluid inside my compass?

Obviously I need to fill in the void that the window gasket has left when it shrunk. I really don't want to use silicone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I just uncovered my boat today and thought I would ask and see if anyone has ever solved this problem. Every year while my boat is in my back yard uncovered I always have wasp or yellow jackets make their home inside my gunwales. It's usually right behind the outrigger holder. Does anyone know...

I've posted this problem earlier this season and after a quick fix for the problem I can now explain it better. This only happens when I let my boat sit for more than two weeks. As before I went to start my O/B engine, when I went to pump the primer bulb and found that it was already hard. I...

I had a problem with oil in my carbs in my 200 hp Merc OB this weekend. I hadn't run my boat for the last 2 weeks and when I went to use it this weekend I couldn't get it started. I eventually call my Merc mechanic and after making sure it wasn't related to other problems it was determined that...

I have a Garmin FishFinder240. There are times when I am moving 20 mph and faster I get readings i am in water 300 plus feet when I know I am in water between 10 to 20 feet. Most of the time when I slow down my the display will stop flashing and will stabilize to an accurate display and reading...

My wiper motor died and I need to replace it. Do I have to go through GW or is there a after market replacement?

I have some teak, such as the swim deck, rod holders and some trim that has turned grey. None of the above uses any varnish. Looking for some suggestions to bring it back to life.

I would like to install Radar on my boat this year. I don't need anything fancy just something simple to get me through Maurice river the Cove here in the Delaware bay, NJ. I also want to pass by Buoys during dark hours and fog without running them over. I don't go off shore nor do I travel...

I just finished reading some information on painting the bottom of my boat. One of the things that I learned is that there is a time span to launching the boat after the bottom has been painted. I wasn't aware of this. I am looking for some sugestions for choosing a paint due to the large amount...

First I like to say thanks to Don Battin who owns Pipe Dreams in Woodbine, NJ and Frank Verna in Elmer, NJ. Don installed my new HardTop along with Joe Priest of Cape May, NJ doing my Enclosure and Frank installed my new Bow Pulpit with a Lamar Windless. Everybody, Thank You for doing a great...

I've been out of commission for a couple of years with back problems and I'm finally getting back into the things I use to do, like fishing. For the last couple of years there seem to be a lot of new fishing lines on the market since the last time I was fishing. With choices like monofilament...
