Override is easy and for "permanent" you put the cap on the connecting wire and it is all out of the loop for controlling the ignition. This is on the FELL one.

Most boys and girls find a mate and all do not like the same person...... Creature comfort is what u get with the DC, family or friends. Fishing you can do at the fish market, cheaper than running 60 miles out for usually nothing ......... I'm of course teasing but most boaters do NOT fish...

It seems the silicone is the one that creates mold spots, and the Sea Life is the one that is not. I have used the GE one in our bathrooms and maybe that is what I used under the T-Top when working on sun shade? What have u found to be easiest method to clean it all off the old caulk? Just pure...

Prices go up when cost goes up. Material cost is up, labor cost is up, finance cost is up so no wonder boat prices are up as well. But having said that there are usually hefty margins in MSRP. We have noticed here that automotive dealers lots are full but no one is discounting yet, RV lots are...

I guess it all depends on 1/how old the boat is 2) how has it been stored 3) how has it been cared for. Most of the boat here in my area are pretty well maintained and stored in racks either outdoor or indoor (hurricane 5 in my case) of course many sit on lifts but very few after all in water...

Obviously boat stayed on trailer in spite of not being tied down. I don't understand how there is no paperwork to be signed when they take the boat and assume liability for it. An untied boat is actually not only a road hazard but totally unprofessional and that carrier should be removed from a...

As hookup says, at pump out station also flush by pushing water in through pump out opening, fresh water hose in to add some water then sucki tall out again a few times to get bottom stale stuff to move and out. That's how they did at our marina suction hose in one hand and fresh water hose on...

I get RV water treatment from Walmart and use that in Fresh water tank. I do run it "dry" once in 2 months and tend to keep it on the full side in normal use. For the Vacuflush system I also use camper RV, stuff from Walmart and add some through the toilet flush. The entire head is as far as...

From Wikipedia Marine grade stainless alloys typically contain molybdenum to resist the corrosive effects of NaCl or salt in seawater. Concentrations of salt in seawater can vary, and splash zones can cause concentrations to increase dramatically from the spray and evaporation. SAE 316...

I need to recaulk several areas but worst is the cockpit deck over the fuel tank. Discolored and cracking. Gunnel areas are somewhat discolored but not cracked. No leaks so far anyway so I can take my time but for looks I need to take care of it.

I kind of remember that I had to register with GW as a new owner, not sure if it would have been for motors but I thought I did that with YAmaha separately. Reading the manual: Five Year Hull Transferable Warranty, One Year Material and Workmanship Warranty (Original owner only). So based on...

Are there any signs of scratches/damage to the HW? Always contact GW (not dealer unless u bought from aGW one) and see what they say. Otherwise use some rust removers and polish well with a steel polish. I have no corrosion on any of the HW (2019) but I do have some reoccurring rust stains from...

How did you mix them? In what form did you get them, cartridge?

I guess the daily updates would have to be downloaded daily to your SD card. I don't have active captain and I don't have Garmin, just plain axiom pro Raymarin........ but same cartography I assume from Navionics (now GArmin owned) My understanding of all the update stuff is that people who...

All good comments which I agree with. the push ins I've seen used in telecom small wire applications. They are specified for solid 20-12 AWG and stranded 16-12 <=19 str (18 for 7 strand) stranded tinned 18-14 AWG. Needed magnifying glass to read that on bag. The marine environment in S FL is...

Ok went and looked at some other splicers/connectors and found some I thought would work. Like the ones in picture below. When I got home I did my diligence test to make sure they would not be magnetic, well they are. So the conductor material is magnetic and that is no good so no use for this...

Car key trick might work, I've gone back for them a few times when put in drawer and I use them to remember to take other things with me..... MOB is another idea but the ignition is off already then so it would not work anymore, I do have one available though. I guess best bet is to get burned...

Not really since when I am done, I walk away and the marina crew comes with forklift and takes it in. I do however bicycle by the boat every morning on my 6 mile exercise trip and I should go closer cause then I could see if the rear camera is on, a red light would be visible in the dim light...

Yes that's what I used...... the new ones would have been better, I can still replace them. The challenge was as always access to it all and starting to peel the wires didn't appeal to me in the limited space. It would probably have been a little safer but this is not a deal breaker right now...

Good idea in general but I just have a fob and it stays on the boat (rack stored). The best probably still is to just have radio on higher volume and not try to spare batteries while washing and prepping boat for rack where it cannot stay on charger all the time. Another thought I've had is to...
