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...

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...
