Take a look at this thread for the plastic bins. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/plastic-tub-repair.34536/ If you don't have them you can make them by doing the rim as in the pictures and then form a tub with fiberglass and thin plywood or foam. I wasn't concerned with making them pretty...

Hinge is opposite. Hinge is worth its weight in gold. Can't buy one. If you have the hinge you can use the left side as a template to cut plexiglass and fix. See thread https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/vent-window-repair.30991/

I bought some canvas track and put it on my basement ceiling. I can hang my canvas up for the winter. I don't like to fold the vinyl and my front pieces are rigid polycarbonate. Looks like the price went up considerably.... I did that for two years but I got lazy and now I leave it on the boat

ya I had the bolts out of the pulpit (not easy to do....) for my first try(should've took pix) that wasn't working. I have to put them back( not easy....) to try to mount my plywood template out farther. I agree. Need to do like the others with the pulpit. But I really want to go straight back...

Ok. So I lugged it up there and dry fitted it. It won’t work straight back where I showed it. The pole is too long. Moving it forward causes issues with the vertical rail piece when the new bracket would be on top of the pulpit. It probably works if the bracket goes under the pulpit like the...

Now that’s thinking out of the box.!

Yesterday I stared at it for 3 days and I think I have a plan I will remove the capstan. Hopefully with the Kraken, I will not need to pull anchor... Unlike the other threads that are putting a mounting plate under the pulpit, I will go over the pulpit using the 4 existing bolts. The plate...

Circling back to this project as prerequisite for another project (Kraken trolling motor/36v battery/charger) Thoughts are welcome.... One sunny day I stared at shi_ for 3 days and I had an epifany. I will move the 30A AC inlet to the OUTSIDE of the boat, below the port side window, near...

I do not think that is correct.

its 25 years old. That is well into the age where tanks need replacing. It smells like gas. You should remove the deck covering the tank(s) and inspect it thoroughly. It could be the gasket on the sending unit(s). It could be the fill or vent hoses. It could be any hose, valve or connection. It...

White marlin & sailfish guys do that. Raises fish into the spread or in close to pitch a bait or a fly. You need a wide boat & a crew that knows what they are doing. Lee's with spreaders can handle some lighter dredges, in tight Not my cup of tea but I get it.

I have not been able to find the forked end cap piece.

The Tempress hatch that I used closes over the top of the flange. So it will stick up higher than the flange even if you recess it. There was another more expensive brand that closed flush inside of the flange. I don't remember the brand Having it all above deck level makes the water go...

Pieces are coming together this thing is huge! It is an 8D size. Going to have to make my own tray. I'm thinking its going under the V berth.
