    what would you do?

    I'd get it fixed and put a double coat of ceramic sealer/wax on it and see how that holds up. Paying particular attention to the waterline area. You might have to do it yearly, but it's not that hard or expensive. Good Luck!

    2006 Yamaha F250 4 Stroke 6 Cylinder

    I have two of the same 2006 engines. The oil in the transom well could have come from a recent filter change, but if it came from a leak in the engine case or oil pan then that is a corrosion problem that ring free won't help. The intake plenum must be removed to get to the VST so there could...

    2000 EVINRUDE 225HP WITH 3 ERROR LIGHTS ON GAUGE

    First, need to see active faults and historic faults. The last two stored codes occurred at the same time. How many hours are on the engine now? These could be very old codes. Air temp below range is unlikely unless you are boating in the Arctic. I'd suspect an air temp sensor failure or a bad...

    First time Grady owner

    In my opinion, the engine rebuild will be the very least of your challenges. The structural/cosmetic issues can be very challenging if done properly.

    Trim motors for Yamaha 350’s

    I'm surprised, given the relatively young age of the 350s, that they need to be fully replaced. Normally a rebuild would be feasible if they were not too corroded.

    150 hp Yamaha has miss. Fuel filter or plugs?

    Need more info. Year of engine? # hours? Runs OK at higher RPM? If really a miss, is it consistent? Fuel problems typically reveal themselves at higher RPMs. Check plugs for fouling. Clogged or bad injector could cause a "miss," but would most likely be there at all RPM ranges. Ignition...

    Electrical changes needed to go from a single to twins?

    Be careful not to confuse AC house power with DC house power. Your shore power Is AC and just runs the battery charger and any other AC only loads.

    330 Express Forward Bilge Pump Fuse Location

    I believe it is a circuit breaker on the battery switch panel since they are always hot.

    Teak wood

    If it is solid, you can't really reface, but you can refinish. I'd try scrubbing with a strong teak cleaner and then finish with teak oil. I did it on an old Mako and it came out pretty nice.

    hour meter ?

    If the engine is YDIS compatible, the engine hours will be readable from the ECM.

    Guest Battery Switch Question

    I don't have a good understanding of your overall circuit design without a circuit diagram, but make sure you can't power your gauges when all the switches off.

    Helm seats for 2011 306 canyon

    Just check the width and depth of the seat and the pedestal diameter. Pedestal can be changed, but not easy. Anything is possible - only takes money!

    2008 33 express starboard seat backrest bracket any one here know where I can find this

    Not sure what I'm looking at. I know what it is on my 2007, but can't picture it from your pic. I think it may be the piece that slides down into a fitting in the fiberglass. You should be able to take it out and have a duplicate made out of stainless by any good machine/welding shop. I have...

    Helm seats for 2011 306 canyon

    Pompanette and Stidd make several different models that are pretty nice depending on your desires. Expensive as well!

    Frozen zipper’s on canvas

    I bought new plastic zippers from SailRite and replace the old ones frozen ones. Then I keep them lubed with silicon grease.

    Generator Ffuel Tank Gauge

    Liquid quantity gauges work by measuring the resistance at the sender installed in the tank. So seeing a voltage at the gauge isn't necessarily indicative of a gauge failure. I my experience, failure at the sender is more likely and a ground wiring problem is probably most common. There are a...

    228 Windlass install completed.

    Agree with KY. But, unless you have a huge heavy duty switch (not circuit breaker) at the helm, you also have a contactor (relay) very near the windlass to handle the high current load. The switch at the helm simply activates the contactor to provide high amperage power to the windlass. Most...

    Hardtop tower mountin

    I wouldn't do it. Grady has previously indicated that the hardtops are not meant for mounting anything very heavy. Even rafts have been discouraged, mostly due to the structure working. I think the raised center of gravity can't be too big of an issue as we don't hear a lot of complaints from...

    Fuel system in a 1987 232 gulfstream.

    Don’t know the boat, but on my 330 the one on the Stern is for the generator and mine happens to be diesel. His may be gas.
