My crew struggles with the forward hatch. Constantly pushing it to far and popping out the rubber stoppers. The braces come out of the track. It is a nightmare to get both of them back in. I added some screws behind the rubber stoppers. Should have used a bigger drillbit, but it still works.

OK, so after many different tests of mounting, over pulpit, then under, then under with a wedge, then maybe remove pulpit, I finally just kept it simple stupid and went over the top. To clarify things; Normal mounting has you angle the motor toward the gunnel. On a CC that keeps it out of...

Look at pix in this thread. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/3-way-fuel-selector-moeller-033302-10.39055/ There was an orange placard for valve position. Not all models have the valves in the same place but I think the placards were all the same. I have since used green and red tape on the...

So I found an easier way that didn’t involve drilling a hole. Used the port side, top gunnel rod grommet to mount the new 30A shore power inlet Installed new Fs30 galvanic isolator near the AC panel l

absolutely ditch the glass fuses. get this.... but you'll have to replace all wire ends with ring terminals. Its getting increasingly hard to find the old style with the 1/4" spade terminals but they are out there It simplifies your project a little.

NICE! Glad you got the right props first try. One thing to be careful of is the ease of shifting and the detent position between Neutral out of gear and "IN gear at idle". I back into my slip in a strong current. When backing you tend to not look at the F-N-R on the gauges. Very easy to...

I think he wants to lessen the load on the motor. That can be done either way, lower dia or lower pitch. or in some cases lowering one and raising the other. I'm not an expert on these things There are reasons and trade offs for everything. I know the "Offshore" props tend to lower diameter...

the smaller diameter 13.75 vs 15.5 comes into play also Dennis. You can go down in diameter and up in pitch... or vice versa.... or just do one....

What I can say is that 1/4" spade connecter looks original and it has a loop off of it that probably also had a 1/4" spade connector on it. That would mean it very probably went to a switch. Very much like the original Fuel sender wire to the Main/Aux readout switch. I can also say that on my...

sounds like a lot of trouble finding struts with the right force to hold it up but also allow it to be lowered fully. Let us know what you find.

If you have your owner's manual, there is usually a listing of all fixtures and bulbs.

hehehehe.... Just passing along some hard won wisdom. when your fishing buddy says "my line is under the motor.. " and your other buddy is gonna help... Shit happens. The bungees are forgiving. You'll hear it and stop. They keep the gate in place when you back into the wrong wave. And...

Here is video of tailgate

NO NO NO!!!! Do not dead bolt it! When you do something dumb like raise your motors (and you will!!!) something is going to break. That is the reason they put those ball bearing catches on there. I don't trust them so I use bungee cord to an eye bolt. The bungee gives way if you raise...

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...
