    Special approach to cutting through the silicone holding the floor panels in place

    What I have: 1998 Voyager 248 issue: both the livewell and the washdown pumps have failed. the deck plate is a bit small to address the issue. I was looking for input from those who have pulled these panels to access the areas. Best tool? Best recaulk?... do we need to recaulk? Mitch

    Electronics: Looking to go iPad based

It is apparently the least favorite of every other previous owner - because nobody has ever used it...

    Is there an integrated hour meter in the Yamahas?

    1998 Grady White Voyager

    I'm finally joining this crowd. Long time listener, first time caller... This will be the fourth boat in my life, replacing a Marlin Sportfisher that I've had for 14 years. Looked at new Grady Whites back in the mid 90's right after the Sea V2 hull came out. They were nice and expensive. I...
