    Propeller question

    You can easily have the hub replaced, much cheaper. Unless you are looking for a different prop and if so, your old prop still has value to someone.

    Good luck Doc!! You’ll be in great hands. My daughter works at Mayo in Jacksonville and I’m always amazed at their skill at solving problems like yours. You will be back on the water in no time and feeling great! Best wishes and fair winds and following seas from your neighbor up here in Inglis!

    GW Fuel tanks

    Most of these tanks are 0.125" thickness 5000 series aluminum. If your problem is corrosion and not simply cracks it may be difficult to repair/weld. Since water is normally on the bottom, most tanks corrode there as well as on top. I'm sure you know you can't weld oxidized aluminum and it is...

    Long Term Refrigerator Use

    At Anchor, I run my refrigerator all night on a bank of two group 31 dual purpose batteries and can still start the engines the next morning. Could run the generator but wife likes it quieter. It may vary a bit depending on ambient temperature, but the specs on the refrigerator can provide the...

    Antenna wire

    Sea Tow used to have automated radio check equipment in some locations, (CH24-28) but they stopped providing it last year. You can do a DSC check, which checks transmissions to the USCG's Rescue 21 system: To perform a DSC Test Call, enter the U.S. Coast Guard’s coast station group identity...

    Long Term Refrigerator Use

    Most of the newer refrigerators are AC and DC capable and they use AC if both are available. My 2007 330 has one and there is a switch/breaker on the AC panel and I run the refrigerator off AC power when it is available. Are you sure yours is DC only? DC power should be fine if you have a...

    2008 Express head

    Probably dometic vacu-flush. Lots of sources online. Your head owners manual will have a parts list. I have used "marine parts source" in the past. Good service!

    Here are a few pics of mine. Hard to tell from your picture. I don’t see a ground connection that connects both of the banks via black cable. My generator positive and ground both are hardwired to the port battery bank. My windlass is hardwired to the starboard bank through the big circuit...

    REMOVING GAS GENERATOR FROM MARLIN

    One thing to consider is dismantling it in place. Not too hard to remove pieces, such as the head, etc. until it is light enough for a couple people to wiggle it out via ramps etc.

    Gasoline gauge

    Most modern senders tend not to stick, but an open or shorted wire to the sender is more likely and can cause the gauge to peg either full or empty.

    Set HDG Mag or True?

    I like to use head up with a projected GPS course over ground (COG) line that indicates two minutes, one mark for each minute. I find it real valuable for zooming in to hit a fishing Mark with high degree of accuracy. We have quite a bit of current offshore at times and heading is not as...

    WTB - Rear folding bench seat - 2007 Gulfstream

    Look on ebay. I found one for my 330 for $250. Kept my old one as a fishing one that is a bit worn and torn.

    Set HDG Mag or True?

    First, make sure you understand the difference between variation and deviation. What you are talking about is variation not deviation. Variation is a function of where you are on the earth and changes over time. Your compass deviation is the difference between magnetic and the compass reading...
