    How much bottom paint......

    Like I said, it's a starting point, and I will have the work done by an experienced shop. I may end up with a different paint, but I figured $33 was low risk, and I can re-sell if it's not what I need. The status is now back-ordered at West, so I may never see it anyway.

    How much bottom paint......

    I'm not sure what the process is. I just ordered a gallon of paint, because West had it on clearance for $33. That's my starting point, never had a painted bottom, but hope to be in the slip more this year...

    Looking for Anchor Windlass suggestions

    KA IV had the rode that was getting chewed in two. BTW, I doubt that Lewmar, or any of the windlass manufacturers, make their own rode, but I doubt they will tell you who they source it from, either.

    Battery switch issue

    Disconnect the + cable from each battery, and see if the lights go out. Which battery? If not, you have another battery. If so, disconnecting will save your battery until you have time to work on finding the problem. If your boat is in the water, that won't be a good idea, since normally that...

    Position on trailer

    I want my bunks an inch or two beyond the transom, and missing the tabs, in case I forget to put them up. Have always had transom mounted tabs, unlike your situation. Position on the trailer, and tongue weight, are another issue.

    You said that you worked hard in order to be able to fish, so go ahead and put a good trolling motor on that boat, and use it to leave and approach the dock when the water is low.

    A Grady White freedom is not a center console. On any craigslist page, click the CL in the little circle in the upper left-hand corner, to go to the homepage. There you can search by state and city in the right hand column. Or, once you are on the boats for sale page, you can select search...

    Scupper drain

    Check to see that your drain hose is all downhill, from the scupper to the through hull. You may have a belly in the hose, which fills up with standing water, and slows the drain.

    Trim Tabs

    Maybe you could run that auto-retract wire through an on/off toggle next to the ignition, and turn it off before turning the key off. Turn it back on after you crank up. Does the HPU run for a few seconds to retract the tabs, after you turn the key off? edit: I think wspitler answered the...

    What is this 3” square piece under gunnel?

    Yours, unfortunately, shows the lack of attention to detail that we see all too often below the shiny surface. How many of us would have mounted that block on top of the aluminum bracket, leaving a gap, and a less solid mount than a flush fit would have been?

    Trim Tabs

    R.I.P. Tabman, this ones on Yamaha. One reason I like the old tabs, with none of the bells and whistles. Did you check Bennetts web site? They used to have good trouble shooting videos and tutorials.

    GW 330 Fuse location

    Can you see any connections in the wires going to the pump, where you can test with a volt meter? If there is power, even low power, the fuse is not blown, although you still want to locate it.

    What is this 3” square piece under gunnel?

    My first thought was a re-enforcement for a 90* rod holder, but it is not strong enough, and would not require the 4 screw holes.
