4/8/24 Relative to my 1992 GW Explorer Walk Around 24', thinking I might reduce bow rails to say 4" to 6 " in height? My thinking is this will eliminate or help eliminate rails hitting while docking as well as provide for no need to provide a gate at the bow sprit given I am mounting a trolling...

Never fished for an entire day, Old Dude! Use it in the Pamlico Sound and near shore in ocean. With 3' plus waves, I would question effectiveness on my 24'. I did not do the set up, had it done. I can send you pictures of the parts in that I just took it off one GW moving it to another. You...

I have upfitted a 24' GW Explorer with a trolling motor. Enclosed are pictures. Sent from my iPhone

pt&t switch at motor NOT helm has not worked for several months. I use the helm switch. The pt&t switch at the motor is and has been unhooked for several months. APPARENTLY MY MECHANIC LEFT IT "NOT HOOKED UP" WHEN HE DECISIONED NOT TO REPAIR IT. THE SWITCH AT THE MOTOR (HOUSING) IS IN...

Pt&t has not been working for several months. Mechanic recommended not to replace, to costly given labor to remove. He left it unhooked. That I found out today. I have taken the cowl off, letting the motor dry out (switch areas). I am spraying both ends of the switches with moisture...

2/28/24 took cowl off. Pt&t switch unhooked. Question: could moisture still be the problem? Note 2 switch ends were laying in the bottom of the motor. One had salt corrosion on a terminal. Thinking, clean them up, then tape them up. It appears from U Tube and my mechanic that replacing...

Great. I will try it today.

2/27/24 Thanks a bunch. It appears I need to disconnect the pt&t switch that is on the starboard side of the motor? If this is the problem switch, not at the throttle; perhaps the issue will be resolved? I note that the switch on the motor has not been operable for several months. I elected...

2/25/24 Thanks to all! My mechanical skills are limited. Locating the various wires, relays, trim motor and cowl/throttle switches maybe difficult? I will take a look however. Went back to the boat yesterday. Same problem. Turned battery switch on, pt&t started operating immediately with...

sounds right. my switch at the motor does not work. where is the switch at the helm, in the throttle handle? Do I just remove the cover and spray wd in it?

2009 Yamaha F-250 with say 700 hours. Serviced annually. Thinking of greasing the rods on motor as well as putting electronic lubricant in throttle handle. Concerning in that "if it ain't broke, it is hard to fix"!!!!

2/22/24 Went to boat. Cut battery switch on. When I hit PT&T switch to lower motor, motor would not go down even though PT&T motor was running. PT&T motor ran continuously until I cut battery switch off. Tried operation several times, same result. Lowered motor manually. When I cut battery...

I also note that the cabin faucet works irrespective of which pump is primed? Also either pump will prime while the other runs continuously. I am thinking there must be a suction leak in the out going or incoming line that feeds the gunwal faucet and shower? I am somewhat perplexed!

Thanks, I will check the things you site. Feel like it is a suction problem given one of the two pumps in the system runs continuously while the other works properly?

Will check. Thanks. Where are the aerators?

1994 Explorer 245 Plan to work on line issues tomorrow. Both pumps work. What is interesting is, having not changed out any water lines, the pumps both have reached prime individually and run continuously individually on different occasions. Makes me think there is a water line problem in the...

Can the pump run with a bad impeller? Can you replace the impeller?

9/8/23 I have 2 model# 850-204-133 Shurflo Diaphragm Pumps on my 1994 Grady White Explorer 245 boat. One pump serves an in cabin, sink faucet. The other a cock pit, gunwal shower and hand washing faucet. They both work off the same switch. There are two distinct water lines running from the...

9/2/23 As to my Mercrusier 350 Bravo Engine flushing socket and garden hose fitting , There appears to be nothing wrong with my existing parts. i just can not get the "garden hose fitting" to seat with tthe socket fitting. I got it to seat one time. Any suggestions as to getting it to seat?
