    bottles of water, sunscreen, some power bars. I like the idea of premaid caribeaners and rope. I have hand held vhf, plb, flare kit and such. plus water bottles and some power bars. Last year I bought a Garmin In Reach . That too is on the boat or attached to my belt loop. Also, when...

    Best boat trailering stories

    I trailer my boat practically everywhere. I live in the mountains of North Carolina and I frequent Florida with the boat. I have had the worse trailer luck of anybody I know. Turns out luck is like not fully appreciating things like stuck calipers or not fully realizing water intrusion in...

    Spring projects...

    You know , I kind of like the yellow. I read once some survival ideas if you're lost at sea on your boat and it turtles upside down. The article said paint a big orange diamond on your bottom side of the hull. Why? because a turtled boat is white and white hulls look like white caps from a...

    Spring projects...

    Just for kicks and giggles...don't forget your trailer bearings, hubs and tires. that's a long trip to the Keys. Make sure your brakes are not hung up either adding extra friction and heat to your hubs. Ask me how I know ...lol.

    Group 31 Batteries in a Seafarer 228?

    in short I don't think 2 group 31s will fit. as it is the two group 27s are a tight fit.

    Scupper and Scupper Hose Replacement

    I replaced my deck drains with OEM Grady stuff. I ordered them through the dealer . I bought the hose through Great Lakes Marine, I think, as I used the same hoses Grady uses, MPI is the brand. My scuppers are factory chrome over bronze. Good luck .

    232 TANK REPLACEMENT: deck flange trimming & cross bracing

    It should . They put the PVC in there to get water from the bow to the stern for drainage. now, with that said , sometimes those tubes can get clogged, especially with chunks of fiberglass from the build. I washed my tank last year and rinsed the compartment with fresh waters and soap. it...

    Transom bang cap: replace with ss, vinyl or glass it over?

    I love Grady and all. They pride themselves on listening to their customers to make improvements in their boats. I guess new boats having composite transoms and stringers is listening to their customers but why is it Grady seems to be , I say seems to be, the only ones with this cap issue? It...

    Distance calculator

    KY is correct . Many new plotters have APs where you can see your charts and fiddle around with distances, waypoints and such. Though if your plotter isn't AP friendly you can always do it on the boat by setting one way point at your starting spot and and another at the ending spot and use...
