    Replacement Live Bait Pump

    Could the extra wire be to power a light for the baitwell? Seems like there should be some paperwork with the new pump explaining the wiring.

    WTB rocket launcher bar for hardtop

    I went with the 6 rod model. They space the launchers 9.5 in apart so the outside holders will be 47.5 in C to C. Puts the outside ones just about over the spreader lights. They are supposed to be here next Monday.

    WTB rocket launcher bar for hardtop

    I looked at those. The cheap price caught my eye but they just use a piece of straight pipe for the rod holders instead of the tulip style. If figured that lack of style and quality would follow through-out, so I went with GW.

    WTB rocket launcher bar for hardtop

    Well, B-Shell, I ordered a set of those after you said how well things fit up, so when the Admiral sees the charges on our PayPal account, I'm gonna have to throw you under the bus. If you hadn't encouraged me I could have resisted the urge but you touting the usefulness of them was just too...

    WTB rocket launcher bar for hardtop

    Perfect, Thanks a lot B-Shell. That eases my main concern. I think I will get one coming. I see you have one that holds 7 rods. I have a smaller boat so I think 6 is probably all I can fit. John

    WTB rocket launcher bar for hardtop

    Thanks B-shell, I was concerned about the fit because the factory hardtop has a bit of a crown to the edge where is bolted on. I guess GW Performance has considered that. If that is who you mean by "GE"??? I did check with one of the good fabricators near me here in SW Florida and they are...

    You should have a heavy circuit breaker back near your batteries. It may be tripped.

    Compass location revisited.

    ...and no previous owner installed some neodymium magnets somewhere to hold a door or drawer closed?....just trying to imagine what it could be. Is there a magnet in a VHF mic hanging nearby? Did someone install an aftermarket steering wheel? ......this is a WTF moment for sure.

    Electrical Mystery

    Is there power to the switch and power out of the switch when it is turned on? If there is power leaving the switch when turned on and there is no power at the pump then the wire run is compromised. Check to see if the wire color you see leaving the switch is the same color you see arriving at...

    Short radar dome

    It's fairly common to have the mount hinged at the forward edge and a pin is pulled at the rear allowing the dome to tip forward and down in front of the hardtop. The cord has to be positioned to allow this...

    Seastar hydraulic tilt steering replacement for GW 91 ( Atlantic )

    The cylinder on the motor will move farther with each turn of the steering wheel. In essence you have less power to the motor cylinder for a given force applied to the wheel rim. If it was hard to turn the motor before, it will be harder with the 2.0 helm but it will take fewer turns to go lock...

    Transom drain tube replacement on 2006 265 Express

    In my opinion,using 5200 for that job would be a mistake.

    1998 Grady White 228 live well

    Once you get all the oily residue gone with a good detergent, then you can get some of the black stains out using that stuff called "30 Second" . You get it at Home Depot. Scrub with that and let it sit in the bilge, scrubbing occasionally to keep all the surfaces wet for 15 minutes or so.

    33 Express Water Pressure

    Make sure there is not a flow reducing washer in the plumbing directly after the pump. Sometimes in an effort to reduce water usage a flow restricter is put in the system causing the pump to create max pressure quickly then as the restricter bleeds off the pump kicks back on replicating the...

    1998 Grady White 228 live well

    Well thank you Don, but I have to tell you that my bilge is not the cleanest. There is a character on here that's called KY Grady and he has been brow beating me for a few years now with pictures of his bilge. Thank goodness I had a therapist that helped me through my shame for my dirty bilge...

    I'd like to replace original Helm Steering to a Tilt Unit

    This outfit is about 5 miles from my house. Give them a call and tell them you need some advice about your needs, and they will get you a guy to talk to. They have reconditioned stuff that you can't tell from new but with considerable dollar savings. They have very knowledgeable people there, I...
