So that wasn't real? Damn, went out and bought some new jorts.

Just find a local tank fabricator and speak with them. Usually, you would remove the tank and they will build it off the previous one. Most people opt for an upgrade on thicker aluminum and a Wema sender. I luck out and have a great guy local. The shipping would probably kill you, but they...

I went through the same debate a couple years ago but threw the Merc out right away. I would have had the first model year of a crazy light weight v8---nah. I haven't really had much exposure in my area as it's dominated by Yami/Zuke. I liked the idea of the offset drive and being able to...

You should have a good 3 layers of 1708/1808 with some tabbing on the inside.

What was your layup schedule for the inside of the transom?

These systems are fairly simple and can be repaired usually for very little. https://www.bennetttrimtabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/trimtab_troubleshooting.pdf Lenco and Bennett have electric versions.

I would check the specs on the amp for the proper breaker/wire size. Wire direct to battery with a breaker close to the battery. The remote wire on the amp will go to the radio so it turns on and off with the radio. I flip the breaker off for the amp when my boat is in storage.

Here is the factory upgraded setup for a '93 Explorer.

Yes, many Grady's came with a bracket. I have something like that on mine. It wasn't recommended to add a heavy 4-stroke to the pod style bracket when I called Grady. This was for the older models that came with 2-strokes. I was told the weight and force should be spread out over a larger area...

It was always iCom for anyone that made a living on the water for years. I think there are tons of good choices out there now from several manufactures. I would look at "last years" model from your choice. Get the integrated GPS---I ended up getting a Standard Horizon for the Grady.

It's really just the labor. There is probably only $50 in materials to make a lid with polyester. I see guys selling the hatch and receiver for $250-$350. Just the lid I would think around $150. Popped the receiver out and made another lid yesterday. I'll try to take some pics.

Got the receiver all prepped and glassed. A little trick I learned from an old timer is to cover your part with a little plastic instead of using wax or PVA for a full tack free cure. It also helps that you can work the corners with your fingers once the plastic is down. Pop it out tomorrow and...

lol - doesn't have the spring head. It actually did work on a commercial fishing boat. They have been known to get a bird or twenty.

They are recutting the part above the GPS. Need to paint my trim and create a storage area for the old gauge spot.
