    Windless Issues

    Since you cleat off the rode at anchor, the only way it chews through is if it is slipping in the gypsy. Are you getting over the anchor, breaking it loose, and retrieving vertically, or is the windlass pulling the boat to the anchor? How far does the damage extend on each side of the actual...

    Nice looking Revenge, too.

    Best way to repair this?

    That Seafood Starboard really hits the spot! ;)

    Uscg

    Boat rolled 360*, then another 90*, then popped upright. I wonder how much damage it did, other than canvas. I'm sure it took on a lot of water.

    Screw length mounting bilge pump

    Lowes and HD sell the flat aluminum stock, so you don't have to ruin a good yard stick. Mine had already had a run in with a circular saw down one edge. I tried to make one sharp bend in a vice, but the Al cracked. I ended up scoring it in 2 or 3 places with a cold chisel, and making several...

    Screw length mounting bilge pump

    Your old pump is the new and improved model, introduced in 2010, so the base may be alright. That red button under the wiring connector is a test button. If you replace the base, just put the screws in place, and then a big glob of caulk on the threads underneath, to prevent them falling out...

    Screw length mounting bilge pump

    Mine is attached to the partition behind the livewell, not to the transom.

    2006 225 Tournament 225 Yamaha OB - Outdrive in Water

    Don't move weight forward! I tried to correct the same problem on my previous '93 Tournament 22 by leaving my large cooler in the bow, full of water. The deck is close to level at rest, with a slight angle to the rear. The cooler tipped the deck to the bow, where there are NO DRAINS. It rained...

    Express 330 Rocket Launchers

    Put as many as will fit, with good spacing. Never heard anyone say, I wish I had fewer, and nothing screams 'waste of space', like 4 on a big boat.

    Mold normal inside console? 2021 GW Freedom 235.

    Gradys are notorious for trapping water midships, even when the trailer jack is as high as it will go. Mine stays jacked up, with the plug out, but the bilge pump almost always comes on when I back down the ramp to launch. First metal decking that I have seen in a Grady, or any fiberglass boat...

    WTB Bennett trim tab switch

    That switch does not stay in the up, or down, position when you remove your finger, if that is what you are saying. It always returns to the neutral position, like the power window button on a car.

    Replacement of bolster cushions

    Use something flat, like a putty knife, and slide it along under the bottom edge. That should locate the screws, if they are there. Mine were short enough that they did not go through the panel behind them. I just sliced the mesh on the bottom, because I knew it was not going back on. Your side...

    WTB Bennett trim tab switch

    Switch has a short wiring harness, should be a plug a few inches behind it, disconnect. Pull the switch out, and check for a loose connection that allowed two connectors to touch...

    Replacement of bolster cushions

    This is how mine were attached on a Seafarer. Three small screws along the bottom of the long side, and two on the short side.

    Good to hear, I am in the second hole on 225 OX66. Moving up one is on my list.
