If you are insistent on removing the anti-foul paint to the point a barrier coat can successfully be applied, I predict that when you are finished and are looking back, you will regret not hiring it out. Having said that, I wish you Gods speed. Take pictures and give us a blow-by-blow account.

I finished the project awhile back and the boat is back in business. Searching for the extent of the rot... This is what I wound up removing...... Finished....

Mmmmmm.......nothing like the smell of rotten fish blood in the morning!

If you have interest in learning about cavitation, this is good reading. https://www.theshipyardblog.com/propeller-cavitation-explained/

I would think this is the cable you will need. Be sure to start a NMEA2000 backbone back near your transom so any future additions to the system that originates in the aft section of your boat only has to connect to that backbone. That eliminates having to fish a wire or cable the full length of...

I don't know the layout of your battery bank but if the engine cranks and starts you have proper power. The override switch must be continued to be held in until the oil pressure builds up after start-up or the engine will die. If you release it at the same time you release the "crank" switch...

I was suspicious of this stuff, but I tried it and was impressed. It works...

Sounds like the pump is sucking air. I would suspicion a split in the filter housing or the hose from the tank to the filter/pump. There is a possibility the pump head itself could be split due to freezing. Did you run the pump after putting antifreeze in the tank until you saw pink coming out...

I have seen that tutorial before on refitting the transom on that Grady. That guy is a genius with fiberglass. He is also, obviously directly related to the Energizer Bunny, because he relentlessly pursues his objective. Quite the project. The "bow catcher he designed and built on the trailer...

That measurement is center-line of one engine to centerline of the other engine. For laying out the pattern on your transom you can measure from any hole on the transom bracket of one engine to the same corresponding hole on the other engine and you should get the same thing. Get a large piece...

Excuse me, I thought we were talking about the Yamaha tilt/trim bracket. I will shut up.

Like seasick said, before mounting an anode onto the bracket, any coating must be removed down to the bare metal so there is perfect continuity between the anode and the object it is protecting. The fact that there was no continuity between the anode and the bracket is why you see deterioration...

Always look a gift horse in the mouth.

This is dated 2020 but I don't know how many earlier models are the same.

The Lewmars I have owned all had an obvious brand name and model number on the outside case. If yours is nameless it may be a china knock off. There could be some models I am not familiar with but be cautious when ordering parts if Lewmar numbers are nowhere to be found. The gypsy itself will...

You do have a reason to believe there is rot in the transom.......That boat is a quarter of a century old. The transom was cored with wood and the Grady White methods of construction did not include isolating the core from the penetrations for hardware attachments. When you remove your engines...

I owned a 205, the little brother of the 225 but the same configuration. I found that the boat is a "sit down" boat for the driver. You can run it standing up but the throttle and wheel position is more suited to the sitting position. The head is in the dog-house just forward of the port...

The 228 calls for a 25 inch leg.

You have just been initiated into a large club. Welcome. There are a lot of us here. There are others here that can advise you better than I about which GPS antenna is best. If you have a newer MFD, I would guess it has a built in GPS unit but listen to others that will be wiser about this.

First off, you should not turn on the switch to run the pump before you put water in the tank. With water in the tank, I would start out by opening the sink faucet fully. Then, turn on the switch for the freshwater pump. Listen and make sure it is running steadily. If it does not run, reset the...
