    Fuel Tank, Deck Plate & Moisture

    That used to drive me nuts. I recored the wood under the deck hatch and had a new gas tank that was sweating with condensate and the bottom of the deck was soaking wet and the tank was too every morning. So I made this out of an old deck plate. Then snapped in the regular one when I would use...

    Transom cap (bang plate) replacement

    Yeah I cleaned all the salt crystals out and cleaned it with acetone. Then did west system to fill deeper areas. Then after that dried did 5200 twice. Went with 5200 because it has some flex and was worried about fiberglass getting cracks in it. Especially when tightening the motor back on. The...

    Windlass on tournament 225

    You know I just bought a 226 with a windlass. After pulling it all out to clean the anchor locker spoiling it back in was a PITA. Didn’t spool right. Hoping older stiffer rope was the issue and that when it gets wet it will be ok. Mine is factory mounted on the pulpit.

    1997 GW 248 What?

    If this was me. I would look for any paper work of the exhaust being done. If no paper work then just factor that having to be done into the price. Nobody going to pay for a “looks good” exhaust. List the boat online for sale in Florida and VA. Take a lot of detailed pics for if anyone serious...

    Drilling a drain in a compartment

    Had the exact same year boat and model. Mine had a drain but was essentially a hole to the bilge. There is nothing under it but the v of the boat about 5” below it. Go to your local marina and pick up a plastic drain and get a hole saw to match. This the only pic I have but mine was the 206...

    Transom cap (bang plate) replacement

    Got it all finished. Starboard 1/4” is perfect amount to keep motor from crushing the new thicker vinyl plate. I know I gotta put the second locking nuts on the mounting bolts.

    g2 250 on a seavee2 223 tournament?

    Whoah lol I wasn’t comparing to driving my family thru a desert with no cell service lol. The original poster said he was fine with his power but economically if it could turn a 19 pitch wheel it may be worth it. and tbh I would much rather drive a 25 year old carbed omc then a three year old...

    How to repair this??

    Same thing happened to me on my 87 206g. Got an automatic rule pump that required no float. Let bilge dry with the plug out. Then caulked down the blue base. Let it cure then clicked in pump. All done

    265 Express/Suzuki DF200APXW2

    Yeah I see it. It’s flipped so it sits on top of the tiller arm. Yeah idk, I would still call and get a person and a name to tell you what you need and if it’s not right call them and tell them you are sending it back. I had problems before with a wobble tilt wheel and they were great. Like I...

    265 Express/Suzuki DF200APXW2

    O man that’s gotta drive you nuts. One motor out and the other in. There has to be a solution. Other then 30” shaft motors......... only thing I can think of why they call it a bang plate is when they used to put outboards on and off back in the day before outboards were over 50 hp. Yeah I was...

    265 mods

    I wanna do that too. Take all the screws out the deck and recaulk them down. Deck still firm and wanna keep it that way. I see the jersey plates I’m out of LE inlet. Maybe I’ll see you out there this season! Just got about a day or two left of waxing and some other things before hopefully going...

    265 Express/Suzuki DF200APXW2

    Oh that bang plate makes me cringe. Motor bolted tight to it make it warp and twist and allowing water right into your transom. I would call sea star and tell them what you got going on. They make different brackets and arms to accommodate most setups. I’m sure your not the only boat with a...
