you're better off waiting until you are out

What size wire was on the breaker? Where did that wire come from? What size wire was on the up/down switch? What size wire connects to the wires of the winch? My Grady had factory 10 awg marked "windlass" up in the anchor locker...not connected...no windlass. I would hope that Grady didn't run...

heheheheh running hard too many times in SW wind, 3 to 5 ft for 40...60 miles.... isn't abuse, its proper use.... ;) You'd be surprised how crazy heavy those Grady hump tops are. Good luck with the repair.

There are most likely wires in rear starboard leg and across rear horizontal if you have spreader lights. Also wires in any pipe from helm to upper ebox. ALL wires need to come out or you risk welding one or all of them to the inside of the pipes. I had one fixed on my V20 while it was on the...

There is a menu in Garmin/Sonar for Transducer Diagnostics. Usually a "GT" transducer will have XID which tells the MFD/sonar what xducer you have and it sets the parameters automatically. If they spliced or if they used an 8 pin adapter, they may not have the XID wired. There is a hidden menu...

The internal GPS should be fine. It will share with the network. To clarify though, external GPS "antenna" is a misnomer. Nowadays, the NMEA2k units are actually a complete gps receiver and antenna, powered by the n2k. Garmins latest version is GPS24xd that also has a built in heading...

Sunday,6/21, Finished out the 10/person limit seabass season with a wimper. 10 between 6 fishermen.... 40+ ling. We stopped at south end of AxelReef for a few fluke drifts. 4 throwbacks and a 23" nice fish. So luckily the fluke bite has started just in time for the end of seabass. Mid...

I don't have a good opinion of hydrofoils. Many years go I put one on a 40hp Tohatsu/16ft Sylvan tin boat. Boat was heavy because of decking and livewell,etc. Motor did not have power trim. The fin slowed the boat down. So then I changed the prop... In the end I removed the foil and got a...

Those drains were on every boat and RV built in the 80s. Can't find the exact one anymore. Used to be at all RV parts places. here is the closest I've found.

Nobody has ever found that hinge. Cutting it and using pieces is a new idea! I'll throw this link here for more info about replacing glass with plastic https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/vent-window-repair.30991/

We are all looking for that....

14.5 x 15 seems awefully small for 3 blade. Are they 4 blade? Are you testing with trim tabs up all the way and not doing anything? Best to nullify the trim tabs from the equation. Do testing without tabs. IMO, using tabs on a 265 is just asking for problems. Put them up, pull the fuse and...

Was that 2" of unreinforced filler? doomed from the beginning...

Seabass has been pretty good at Klondike rocks. If they are not biting you have to wait it out. When they do turn on it’s fast and furious. Got 42 nice keepers Thursday with 5 fishermen. Friday my sister and I got 20 on a wreck. 14 fish came between 11:45 and 12:15.
