The engine related items and the house related items are completely powered separately.

Look around the batteries and the battery switch for the breaker or fuse. Check the fuse panel for power with a test light or volt meter also.

Your house circuit may have a main ground unhooked or corroded. The main positive may have a fuse or a circuit breaker corroded or tripped.

I think we have all done that with the drain plug. True story. I got called out to a customers deck boat about 25 years ago to see why it wasn’t planing. (New boat). The boat was at the dock when I arrived at the house. the boat was sitting a little low in the water so I started poking around...

I don’t see why you would not install the fell if you do a lot of solo fishing. The cord attached to my body on a cabin boat is pretty much useless and I have seen the kill switches malfunction while driving and not let you restart your motor. If I have to leave the helm, I have to unhook it...

Are there any clubs in south fla?

Looking great. Yes. Acetone is one of our trade secrets in the business. Guess it is no secret no more. Lol. You are going to have a great time.

Thank you blood. I am the one in the middle with the blue fishing shirt n floppy hat. We fished in my buddy’s 2020 306 canyon. What an amazing boat. Fished 8 and nobody was in anyone’s way all day. The smallest red snapper there is 20 1/2 inches.

I’m thinking Grady and Trump all go together.

Hey KY. Is that dive platform a stock Grady item? I really like that. My 24 has the enclosed transom also. Wondering if the 24 offshore has one that would fit.

Oh wow. That makes it a little more difficult. Maybe trim up and blow air through the tube behind the gage. Should blow out the pinhole in the back of the lower. (In the pic)

Those tubes are what sends the pressure information to the gages. Do they still not work after you connected them? If so, the plastic nipple on the back of the lower might have cracked when he was putting the lower back on. Try blowing compressed air into the pinhole on the back of the lower...

Absolutely. I load my 24 offshore by myself. Sometimes I have the luxury of having my wife pull the truck up the ramp but I am the one that drives it up and hooks up the bow eye. I trained her on how to pull the truck up using two feet so the boat doesn’t go backwards before going forward up the...

That sounds great. Look for the enclosed transom. That is huge. If you are looking to do a lot of blue water, try for a 228. The extra 2 ft goes a long way offshore. If you ride in one In rough seas, you will appreciate it immensely. I have traveled about 1300 miles of open water so far this year.

If you are looking to keep the price down on getting a bigger hull, don’t be afraid to get an older hull. My 1988 is a tank. Sometimes you can score a deal on an older boat and make out well.

One thing to watch on the hard top. Be sure it is a factory installed hard top or a good custom hard top. The universals are not as strong for the blue water application.

I would probably want the 200. I like having a little extra under the hood for outrunning storms and handling through rough offshore seas. I have had no problem with swaying with my hard top. Mine is a 1988 24 offshore with a 250 4 stroke Yamaha. I have no problem fishing 25 miles offshore in...

I love my cabin boat. In rough water, rain, hot sun, etc. the hard top with enclosure is the way to go. I wash my rods down with fresh water and put them in the cabin on the way home. I live in south fla and fish the keys all year round.

The motors run to make sure they are retracted. It is normal.

Once you go 4 stroke, you will never want a 2 stroke again. Especially going from Johnson to Yamaha or Suzuki. I would expect 40% better fuel economy with a 4 stroke over your old Johnsons. Etecs have had some good reviews, but will the parts be available down the line seeing the way the company...
