    Confusing Battery switches

    I want to thank you guys for responding and giving me your take on this even though it is not on a Grady hull. If it is not proper etiquette for me to continue this on this site that I enjoy so much, just give me a clue.

    Confusing Battery switches

    Capt Bill, Yes I get what your saying about the combine function on the mystery switch. It's the fact that I still have power to the #1/#2 switch even when the mystery switch is in the "OFF" position. Maybe this is the way it is supposed to be. I can kill all power if I turn both switches to...

    Confusing Battery switches

    You are right on Dennis. It's a '88 Sea Ray Laguna center console. I always like that hull. I like having two walk thru doors at the transom should you ever get caught in the bad and are shipping green water in the open bow. also having no below deck hoses for the stern deck drains is a plus. I...

    Confusing Battery switches

    I recently purchased a "new to me" boat. It has recently had new battery switches installed that are different than what I am used to. I bought my first boat in 1962 and have always been familiar with the... #1, #2, Both...configuration of the switches. This boat has twin engines and the one...

    Rinsing Salt Water Out on land -

    That valve is a good safety upgrade also. Should your bilge ever get seriously flooded to the point your bilge pump can't keep up or the bilge pump fails then turning that valve to suck through the winterizing hose makes it possible to pump bilge water overboard with the washdown hose with the...

    How to Ground 30 amp Downriggers

    Usually there will be a Buss Bar near your console electrical panel being fed by a heavy ground wire from your battery switch. I am not familiar with your exact boat but that's pretty standard fare. It will be something on this order...

    Holding tank keeps filling

    If you have an overboard pump-out ability, it may be backfilling when running. There should be some sort of backflow preventer like a flapper, or check valve or even a simple clamshell cover. You can tell if the tank has pure saltwater in it or the real thing by tasting it.o_O

    speed info from MFD to Yamaha command gauge

    Have you searched through the menu. I know on my SIMRAD, you could choose what info you wanted displayed and what lay-out you wanted. I think it was under "information". Not sure, it's been more than a week.

    Finally got it home

    Kudos to you ocdansar. Sometimes the stars just get aligned. It looks like a nice slip with a fairly wide main-way. How far do you have to go from the slip to get outside?

    The Official KY Smoky Keys Thread

    Ya know, Smoky, I always thought boating was expensive till I started paying for counseling due to seeing pictures of Ky Gradys' garage. I was just about healed from that and now we get hit with this bilge picture. I hope my shrink knows what a bilge is....

    1988 Seafarer 226 fuel tank access

    As old as the boat is and you have verified that there is loose gunk in the tank, I would say the only way to get a really good job of cleaning done is to remove the tank. Once it is cleaned inside and out, it can be pressure tested for leaks, inspected for corrosion and barrier coated before...

    It's so clean it makes all those new boats look untidy.

    fresh water pump

    Common culprit is a misaligned o-ring on the filter housing and the pump sucks air instead of water. What about polarity? Was that verified beyond looking at wire color?
