    What Size Stern Anchor for Sandbar?

    No, I’m the one who should’ve kept my advice to myself. I’ve only stopped at one sandbar party in my life, and that was at least 30 years ago. Holds no interest to me whatsoever. I just assumed most would anchor stern in, because it is easier, and shallower, to get off and on anything other than...

    What Size Stern Anchor for Sandbar?

    I assume that the stern anchor will be on the sand, and set by hand, in which case you don’t need chain. I would leave the anchor in the bucket, use the other end of the rode to a screw in sand spike on the beach. You will end up with less dings on the boat, and on yourself.

    off season repairs planning.

    Skunk, what five through hulls are always underwater? You must have through hull transducers. The only one I can think of on my seafarer, that is underwater on plane, is my macerator discharge. My transom scuppers, and my Garboard drain, are under water in the slip. I don’t worry as much about...

    interior rod holders

    Even without CNC, having a good part like yours, you could screw it to a rough out, and knock them out on a table router with a flush trim bit.

    off season repairs planning.

    Why would water pour in through the side of a boat any faster than it would pour in through the transom, if the drains are at the same height, relative to the waterline, and it could possibly even be higher. I wasn’t suggesting that he cut a deck level hole through the side of a liner boat...

    Grady 208 Adventure ???

    To me, nothing cheapens a boat like having the seat backs form the transom wall.

    Trailer capacity

    I didn’t say build it bigger. There are other considerations: springs versus torsion, box beam versus I-beam, size of the beams, number of crossmembers, beefiness of the winch stand, tire size, etc.

    Trailer capacity

    On a tandem trailer, you are starting out with at least 6000 or 7000 pounds of axle capacity. Might as well build to that capacity.

    Even so, if I were redoing my transom, I would rather have two holes through the solid glass hull side, than through my new 2 inch thick transom. On a Seafarer, the cockpit deck is several inches higher than the bilge deck under the jump seats, so you might be able to get a nice drop in your...

    Side Curtains

    I think most people store the rear drop curtains during the summer, I know I do. If your side curtain is like the one in the link, you unzip both ends, and roll it up to the track at the top. Hopefully, it has the two straps shown in the picture, and they snap around the roll to hold it in...

    Side Curtains

    How many pieces on each side, and do they not also roll up?

    off season repairs planning.

    As slowly as my scuppers drain standing water, even sitting on the trailer, I would hate to think how long it would take to clear a wave, with back pressure on the scupper flaps underwater. I have also thought about different ways to clear the deck, especially when I was in the process of...

    Fix Ladder Bracket 282 Sailfish

    I would surely try to remove them, before drilling the heads off. I doubt that they are going to pop right out, even if you do. I would assume, or at least hope, that it is a snug fit in the hole, and that it is well sealed, going through the transom. 5200 is not out of the question, then you’re...

    Slide snaps.

    https://www.sailrite.com/Windshield-Clip-7-8-Key-K They come in one piece. Look at the last photo to see how they are shaped, one end fits into the groove, and the other snaps in place. Use a plastic putty knife, or something that won't scratch your ws frame to pop that end up. Grady help desk...
