    SE Hydrofoil on GW Adventure 208

    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...

    Wing vent window

    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/

    express 265 prop question

    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...

    NJ fishing reports

    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.

    Start/stop green LED stays illuminated

    The yamahas have nothing to do with AC amp draw. I don't have new triple yammies but I would look at "center" battery switch being on or center key on.

    2004 265 express circuit breaker replacement

    That is a 30A 125v ac breaker. You remove it from that black housing. You don't need the whole thing. Just the breaker. There is a number on it. Its a common breaker. you can find on blue seas website, WM, Amazon.. But its not your problem. It feeds everything.

    2004 265 express circuit breaker replacement

    I moved the 30A inlet and Galvanic isolator closer to the panel so I did not need a 30A breaker near the inlet. The Main Breaker on the panel is the breaker. On mine, the GFCI in the head fed the other outlets in the galley and helm. So if the gfci trips, all outlets are dead. The Charger and...
