The fun thing about trying to change something (in this circumstance wheelchair access to my boat), you start learning all the issues related to the subject. I really appreciate all the comments and suggestions. I started thinking about this when I volunteered to take veterans out salmon...

I am considering making my boat wheelchair accessible. I love taking people out fishing who don't have access to a boat. Does anyone have experience with modifying a boat to be able to lift and secure a person in a wheelchair? Myself at 5'2" and an artificial hip, lifting someone is not an...

The boat is getting closer to what I envisioned when I purchased it. Removed the decals and all the thru hull fittings and sanded and painted the above water part of the boat. Ended up plugging the thru hull fittings that went to the live wells. Rewiring is almost done. Very excited about...

Thank you for all the good information. I will try and get down to the boat this week and try fixing the anode. The steering is mechanical but I do not know about the NFB or not. Not familiar with that system so I will Google it and get back to you. Thanks Russ

I will try playing with that this next week

Went fishing out in Puget sound and the repair weld on the cavitation plate failed. Yeah

I am doing a complete rewire right now. Going through the boat and deciding what is required and what is not necessary for this boat. In my past life (now retired) I designed and built machines for a living so running wires is not a problem. Accessing them on a boat is another issue. Don't...

I am designing a new wiring harness and had some questions about: 1. What alarms people think are necessary. 2. What type of spotlights they find helpful. 3. Good preventive maintenance on 1998 Yamaha 200hp Saltwater 2 stroke motor. Just about to pull all the wires out and rewire. I am...

This Grady White is my second boat. My first was a 17ft Bayliner Capri. That boat I cut all the seats off to have more deck fishing space. The boat looked like floating crap but as an engineer I made it strong. But the transom was rotting and I wanted a bigger boat that was for fishing...
