I used our big front loading washer. Tumbled on low,took out still a little damp. One zipper didn't make it

Yes probably ground for SSB

see this post. You would have room for bigger batteries. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/new-battery-config-for-265.25744/ This is my new setup. Four batteries. One 24M starting battery for each motor and a parallel pair of 24DC as the house. The House charges from the AUX charging cables...

get the ones with the clear bowls. Racor 3213 or 3214 or equivalent. Be careful. There are two sizes of thread out there. I think Mercs oem bracket was different than Yammie,Zuke,Honda. Thing is..is doesn't matter what engines, someone may have replaced the bracket (aka manifold aka housing)...

OH! you have the old Euro Oval switches. YES. join the 21st century and get etched illuminated Contura switches FYI, the euro switches were slightly narrower that the Contura. You may not fit 6 across on the same size panel and into the same cutout in your dash. Measure 5 times, use their...

As I said before , been decades since I re-pinned molex connectors. In my early life I have done it quite often. You really need the stripping and crimping tools..and eyes...and patience. As you say, they crimp the wire and they crimp the insulation. The stripping has to be exact. You cannot...

I’m using the original Lee Jrs with 18ish foot aluminum poles. I added rollers I use 400#mono. I think if you go with longer aluminum poles you’re gonna need to put at least a single spreader kit on each. I don’t know how the carbon fiber ones stack up. I don’t have that much money ha ha We run...

fantastic.

Yep that bottom picture is grady tapping grounds off the larger black wires. The black wires on the switches have nothing to do with the circuits. They are only for the illumination of the switches. So the + wires of the circuits come from the switches and the grounds are "out there somewhere"...

So the bundle of red wires has a molex? or are they bare ends? You took the old panel out with molex plugs, not just take terminals off the switches? When I got my panel from New Wire I only had them pre-wire all of the jumpers. I used the online tool to layout the panel. So I just had to...

The time to get the hardtop is when the boat is brand new. get a Grady OEM hardtop. It is THE single best option on a boat. Don't even think about cheaping out with a bimini. The only legit reason to get a bimini is if you have to go under very low bridges to get out. In that case though I...

Yes the 10 awg red & black are the power feed to the switches. Hard to tell from your picture. Are the ones that say BATT a heavier gauge than the rest? If I were you I would take that right to the terminal blocks under the dash (if you have them) and bypass the molex plug and harness. I...

Just don't get it backwards. The switches are sending the power out the wires. Your new red wires get the female ends. ...except the power feed red and black. that is coming in.

If I were you I would use disconnects over butt connectors. You just put properly sized females on all of your new red wire. Properly sized males on the colored wires. Then you sit there and figure out where to plug them. Use females on the panel wires that will be the signal source(hot)...

I suggest NOT going to the molex plugs. They are a failure point. Pinning a molex plug is tedious. You need proper pin and crimp tools. You can't wing it. I haven't done it in this century. If you want to be able to disconnect the panel , use individual disconnect terminals. They are easier...

Thats a big wire bundle. Those are labeled and you are going to hardwire to them? That should be nice. Mine just plugged the old wires to the new switches. I just spent all day today rerouting all the wires out of the OEM grady bundles to make it easier to look at back of the panel. Hope...

If it has a seastar HC5345 it will work for both. Dunno what tie bar you have but that probably works too. Go to the seastar DOMETIC website and look at their chart for yammie motors by year. https://documents.dometic.com/media/download/97737?templateId=0&previewPdf=1

I usually have a couple gallons of bottled water onboard. I don't even understand why there are 3 sinks on my boat...stupid. "Galley", Head and "bait sink". I could wash one hand in the galley and one in the head at the same time. If I ever replace the tank it will be sized to drop in. I'm...

Here are some pics of the process Not possible!!!!! port side behind drawers The brackets in the rear had to be bent backwards out-of-the-way I got them from the Portside drawers. They are in the way of pushing the tank backwards, so there’s no way to tilt it enough to get it up and out.

I will not repin any of these connectors. They have not been apart in 24 years. They only exist to make building the boat easier. When I find another problem it will get hardwired around the plug.
