what does the front of the bottle say? Is it the WM brand or the Quicksilver?

I am not sure what product we are referring to. There is a West Marine branded tilt and trim fluid and there is a product stocked by WM and is a Quick Silver product. The WM product says on the label A premium trim and tilt fluid that is ideal for all modern outboards and sterndrives.. It...

I think I have to change my opinion on the fluid. Looking at the West Marine web site, I can only find one WM branded Tilt and Trim product. Nowhere does it say that is is suitable for hydraulic steering systems. There are a few other WM and non WM products listed but the one that mentions...

The one I referenced is listed as available from Boat Outfitters. The bad news is that it is $250!

It's probably OK if it says its fine for all hydraulic apps. I probably would be more concerned using it in the motor tilt system. For my motors, I use transmission fluid ATF but I wouldn't use that in my steering ( I am not certain why I wouldn't use it though)

My 2001 208 has an original 82G poly tank. Does it leak? I don't think so:) I think Grady was pretty sure that the poly would outlive the hull and to prove it, they didn't put a removable deck lid over it! Yup, if I wanted to check or pull the tank, I have to cut the deck:) I suppose there are...

I've seen similar lamps and they were LED. If yours is LED it may be a sealed (potted) enclosure and may not have any serviceable parts Is this your model...

I can't tell if it is an exact match but is should work https://www.boatersplus.com/garelick-cockpit-side-coaming-bolster-9913601.html

Outstanding installation!. Can you describe how the underside was mounted (supported, bedded etc) and what materials were used for the mounting brackets, mounting pads (thin sheets of something) and adhesives used. I am curious if there are different recommendations for mounting uncoated tanks...

Why do you think that adding a bracket will mean that tabs are required? Tell us what the original setup was, model, motor, etc. and then tell us what your repower is going to be. Also what style/model of bracket are you installing? If yu ran the boat previously, did you feel the need for tabs...

When you ran on the portable tank, did you connect through the water separator or did you bypass it? If so and you also had replaced the water separator filter, did you prime ( using the primer bulb)? If not, most likely the difficulty in starting on the main tank was just priming the system...

Open the access plate ( there may be one at each end of the tank) and smell. Do this before gassing up. If no gas smell, that's good. Next time you gas up, repeat the smell test after you gas up. Try not to fill the tank all the way. If after gassing up, you smell gas, but you didn't before you...

I don't know about the Furuno but on my other units, Lowrance and Garmin, there is an option in the head unit to select the data source. Just to check; Did you confirm that the map software is compatible with your device? Hopefully, you bought the chip from a reputable vendor.

Can't you ask whoever installed the system for instructions??

The life span can be greatly affected by the moisture content of the gas tank coffin. Some are normally very dry while others can be wet. A fresh water boat would typically have longer lasting tanks than one operated in a salt water environment. Some model years of Gradys have plastic tanks and...

If you called this week, I can understand that maybe they sort of shut down for the holidays. I know other vendors that do that. I have used PartsVu in the past (2022 if I remember correctly) and all was fine but I didn't have anything to return. Good luck, happy New Year

There seems to be a strange blip on the radar and I couldn't figure out what it was until I realized what day it is. Ho ho ho To all a wonderful holiday season.

If you want to store your anchor in the locker rather than hanging off of the bow roller, most of the examples pf anchor rollers have a loop that the rode goes through and you can't easily store the anchor in the locker. Your first question is where you want to store the anchor.

Many smaller boats have no pulpit or roller. In general, you just lift the anchor, keep it clear of the hull and feed the anchor under the rails if present. If you store your anchor in the anchor locker, having a bow roller can make it more difficult to retrieve your anchor.

Although that may apply to most recreational boats, it is very common on larger and/or commercial vessels to have non automatic bilge pumps.
