    Need to Troubleshoot Front Bilge

    Your fuse for the forward bildge is transom mounted to the right of the perko switch. You’ll be able to pick it out by the red and brown wires

    2015 Seafarer 226 - Thoughts???

    You’ll love the 226. Handles very well in a heavy chop especially at slower speeds and docking is much easier with a transom mounted engine. I’ve never had any water issues with the open transom. That will be a 45 to 50 mph with a 300. Go for it except you should definitely have a mechanic do a...

    Dock line question

    Glacierbaze has a good point about pulling up to a dock and dine or transient slip. Go long but stay with NYLON

    Dock line question

    First start with buying nylon only. They are the strongest and have great elasticity which is extremely important. As for length , absolutely go by boat length for the spring lines. You can get away with shorter for the bow and stern lines.

    Bildge pump fuse

    Guys, can you be more specific about location. I do know there is a reset mounted on the transom. And yes it has to be a direct hookup to battery so float switch operates on auto. If you can take a picture toothpick I would really appr crate your help. This forum is awesome.

    Bildge pump fuse

    I’ve determined that my forward bilge pump needs replacing. Problem is that I need to increase from a 5 amp fuse to a 7.5 amp fuse. I can’t locate an inline fuse. Does Grady use the breaker/reset as the fuse? Thanks

    Transducer Mounting

    So... I’m installing a new garmin transducer next weekend and LOVE this idea with plastic block. Why not make it easy and use 3M 4200? I doubt it would ever break loose unless intended.

    Two things.

    Coastalbend, yes. I agree with you. I took a razor as always and added my own vent to prevent gas build up. I think I’m going to do the safe thing and pull the batteries
