    Battery Charger system

    NOCO Genius GEN2 - 20A 2 Bank. NOCO and Promariner are good products; get whatever has a better sale/deal going. Consider a “smart” charger/maintainer with individual outputs if you’re running different types of batteries for starting/house loads.

    228G Seafarer Advice on inside cushions along gunwales

    You can save yourself some cash by not buying Starboard as the backing since it won’t be exposed to sunlight. Something a little more cost effective like HDPE, ABS, etc. should be fine.

    228G Seafarer Advice on inside cushions along gunwales

    The bottom edge of the coaming pad is a mesh with grommets. The grommets line up with the screws used to secure the pad to the gunwale. Hope this helps.

    228G Seafarer Advice on inside cushions along gunwales

    The coaming pads have a solid backing board with circular holes that line up the the clips. They are they covered with foam and vinyl in front. I replaced mine with SeaDek but we’ll see how it holds up. I’ll snap a picture of the old ones in a minute

    Trailering with Eisenglass Up??

    Safe answer is NO. If you have zippered vents in your front curtains you can open them during trailering to drop the wind resistance. The absolute limit would be based on the design of your specific curtains but realistically I’d still keep the speed below 65. Road debris getting kicked up at...

    How to clean up wires

    seasick got it right. Thankfully there’s some good electrical guy on every boat forum. My vote is to coil/zip tie the vhf cable unless you’re proficient with soldering. Most of the issues I’ve heard of DIY radio installations going bad were from bad soldering; a nicely coiled and secured cable...

    LIve well and wash down

    I wouldn’t assume on the size and if it’s frozen you might want to consider replacing that with a seacock with a flanged base (bonus is you'll know the size when replacing). There are way too many boat out there where seacocks are replaced with other types of thru hull/ball valve combinations...

    Fuses are smaller?

    Disclaimer: not trying to argue or have a p!$$!ng contest but I respectfully disagree with the assertion that a circuit breaker cannot be replaced with a fuse. I assumed earlier (shame on me) that when replacing protective devices the circuit wiring is properly sized for the maximum load...

    Fuses are smaller?

    My mistake, Russ, I should’ve read your first post a little more throughly. I believe you’re referring to breakers, not fuses. I was having the same problem as you in sourcing OEM breakers (with reasonable shipping costs) and ended up converting my switch panel to fuses instead of breakers and...

    Helm Seat Height...and other seat discussions

    I had a bunch leftover scraps of surfboard/SUP traction padding that keep the wood from direct contact with the gelcoat. Could have used some type of rubber or neoprene with contact cement but I was fortunate enough to have scraps of traction pads with the adhesive backing. You can kind of see...

    Anyone know this part number?

    Not exactly on topic but related... Might be a good idea to coat the terminals/exposed metal on the back of the switch panel with No-Ox, dielectric grease, etc. my panel was original when I got the boat; nothing was used to protect the bare metal on the backside which likely led to premature...

    Helm Seat Height...and other seat discussions

    I got the info from seasick and Shane9052. Called Arrigoni and put in an order over the phone (no issues and they were fast in processing). Shipping to Hawaii was expensive but it was easier and cheaper than modifying the pedestals. Put a bit of threadlocker on the bolt used as a set screw...

    Hard Top, Soft Top or Bimini Top?

    How many boards and how long are they? For short runs/occasional use you could store them down the middle though it might make moving to/from the bow a hassle. For long runs a hardtop with custom brackets is definitely the way to go.

    Look What I Found on Craigslist

    Haha. Same thing happened a few weeks back here. The poster used a screenshot from a YouTube video and even copied the specs. Seems like these pop up every couple of months.

    Replacement passenger grab bar/rail

    I was afraid it was a Grady specific item... Nothing is wrong with it but I want to add one to the driver’s side and maybe swap for a longer one to give the passenger something to grab on to while both standing and seated. I just installed seat pedestal extenders so it’s difficult to reach from...

    Replacement passenger grab bar/rail

    Hello. Looking for a passenger grab bar/rail for my Adventure 208. It’s about 15.5” overall in length. I’ve found a lot of similar items but none are offset from vertical. Any ideas?

    Anyone know what these keys are for?

    Thanks for the quick reply! Looks like that one will be harder to hack than the smaller one. Will keep you all posted...
