That's what I do....

I regret not having a maintenance log. Most of my work winds up on GG but not all of it. It would be handy to know when I replaced a pump, part number, where I bought it, etc. Photo log is good and searchable to some extent. I'm not keen on typing a lot in. I have a paper log book but that...

Most of the flush water will go out the exhaust. If you have the motor trimmed up you should see it. Sometimes the tel-tale is blocked or you don't have enough hose water pressure. Take the engine cover off. Look for the fuel cooler where the tel-tale out come out. Snake the tel-tale with...

I installed a convertible helm seat a few years back. The front to the seat can flip up and convert to a leaning post or high seat with foot rest. The seat back is reversible so you can flip forward and look back while fishing. Really works week to keep the load off your legs and back. Quite...

On an aluminum tanks the pickup tube is threaded in. Probably the same on a poly tank. Look at Moler plastic tanks. maybe you can get an answer.

I have no experience with poly. Try to keep it from moving. I'm not sure if they are molded in or threaded in.

Work on the cube first. If you break it off go with the hex socket!

Hose it down with PB Blaster a few times. Put a large socket or correct sized wrench and possible a pipe extension and try to get it loose. If you spin it you will destroy the fitting and the tank. No pressure...don't screw up!

I replaced my tanks a few years ago. The anti-siphon screws into the pickup tube. You should not need to take the pickup tube out.

What are you using for a pump? When you pump out thru the fuel line (with the bow elevated) you can get most of the water out of the tank. The pickup can only get so close to the bottom of the tank so there will be some still left. I got it out by running the boat and shaking the fuel up in the...

I'm sorry but so many of the recent posts are looking phony. AI is invading this site. AI is training off GW.

Which bilge? Aft or are you pulling fuel tank cover plate? Start with the owners manual. Available on GW site. If the 2018 manual doesn't have one go back a few years and check. Not likely it changed much. Could be one of the hoses. Fuel fill or vent. Wrap some paper towels around them and...

My experience has been that nothing got clogged up. Use your spare tank and run the boat. I would expect it to be fine. Important to get clean fuel in water separator and filter on engine. Drop them both, dump out and fill with clean fuel. When I’m cleaning the main tank up I bring a small fuel...

You didn't get your answer the last time? If I re-power it will be with 200 hp 4-cylinder engines. I don't need the HP but it can't hurt. The obvious question is “What do you hope to accomplish?". More top end speed? Better mid-range? Better hole shot? Improved sea keeping? What are your...

www.SailRite.com Offered several manufacturers of ribbed/flat fabric. Morbern Seabrook is one of them. Not an easy cushion to replicate for DIY person. Any canvas shop would have this material.

The windlass bolt holes won't line up. You will have to re-drill them. Look at install template. Wiring the same for the Lewmar 700 and 1000. Both require a home run of heavy gauge wire from relay next to windlass to battery. Lewmar Profish 700: Normal Current Draw: 35 Amps Circuit Breaker...

These guys are one of the original windshield makes. Mostly Water Bonnet guys. They are old timers. Your looking at new-old-stock (NOS) from 20 or 30 years ago. They may have what you need but there are a lot of materials they just don't have. Yes I have used them but that was 10 years ago. I...

The ethanol will strip varnish off tanks and break down old non-ethanol hoses. Color may not be related to that. Doubt it's oil - should have been oil injection before). Sometimes it's the red fuel stabilizer. 40 gallons of the fuel is 36 gallons of gasoline and 4 gallons of ethanol. All it...

Nope! Motor is on opposite side. I re-glassed and made new holes. The ProFish 800 is very particular about feeding the rope/chain splice. Needs drop room in anchor locker which limits how much you can carry. I re-splices my original a dozen times to get it to work. Went to Lewmar anchor line...
