    Seacock lube

    Just don't forget that whatever you put in there, your bait will be running it through their gills. Depending on what it is, it may affect their longevity. (which has a bad ending anyway):) I think just elbow grease is the best thing.

    Adding a Lewmar Profish 700 anchor winch to my 1988 Grady White 204 Fisherman (Center Console)

    If you want the anchor to self-launch and you will be using a Danforth style anchor like is depicted in your drawing, then you will need a pivoting roller. There are many anchors that are designed to self-launch from a fixed roller. So the answer is, your choice of anchor will dictate what style...

    228 livewell question

    If you run with the livewell seacock open then you need to have the drain open if you don't want to carry a well full of water. If your well water level is controlled by a standpipe and you put a plug in instead or an item stored in there plugs the hole then theoretically the well could fill...

    Rain water?

    My 205 with the SeaV 2 hull was just as Capt Tom describes. My regular trailer tongue jack would not raise high enough to drain that forward portion of the bilge.

    Grady White 36' Express repowered with Yamaha 300 CV

    That's sounds like a harmonic vibration at that very specific RPM range. First of all, that dealer that gave you that BS line about it being because of a design change is full of crap. Forget them, if they will lie about that then you will never know if you can trust them about anything. I am...

    Replacing horn on 2003 228

    Starboard engine failure

    Be aware that there will be an anti-siphon valve at the top of the fuel tank. It will be right at the elbow. They are known to create problems occasionally. Do a search of this forum, I'm sure it must have been discussed .

    Starboard engine failure

    Did you check the fuel line bulb pump to see if it was sucked flat. Next time you run it , check if the bulb goes soft or is flattened under heavy throttle. Indicates fuel starvation.
