Try not to get your knickers in a wad before you talk to the dealer. There is not a builder around that can prevent crevice corrosion. Component design and mounting practices can reduce the number of crevices on a boat but any crevices with metal as one or both mating surfaces will generate...

How wide is the spool on your winch? Is it a two speed?

Capt Al, Whatever is causing the Bennets to fail you, I think going to Bennett with pictures and descriptions is going to get things resolved in a more timely matter. Too bad the Tab Man is not here, as he would have something in the works for you already. I think the Bennett engineers would...

Well, obviously the beer fridge hasn't been delivered yet, judging from your picture. Just don't forget to mark off the outline of the fridge with tape on the floor so it doesn't lose it's place of prominence as you organize.

I would say that if you are putting those engines through their paces on a 33 footer, then using recreational tabs may be unrealistic. At the very least you should have dual cylinders and plate stiffeners. The real deal is replace the recreational ones with some like the offshore racing boys use.

I agree 100% with SeanC. Once you get on plane , trim out till you get blow-out, then trim in just till it hooks up. In that configuration your bow should be high enough to avoid serious bow steer. The Suzukis usually run a larger diameter prop due to a higher numerical gear ratio in the leg...

You can learn a lot about what causes that type of corrosion by reading about "crevice corrosion". https://www.corrosionclinic.com/types_of_corrosion/crevice_corrosion.htm

The screws on my 205 Tournament don't go through either. If your screws are missing and not broken off in the fiberglass, just go up one size and replace all the screws. If the screws broke off in the fiberglass, just move over 1/2 inch and drill new holes in the frame and fiberglass.

I agree with Dennis 100%. Connectors are the first suspects to investigate. Just like if you have teenagers at home and the donuts come up missing. You pretty well know where the problem happened. I had a Seaswirl Striper a few years ago and I had the "low voltage" shutdown on my Garmin stuff...

I have a 2004 Tournament 205 and it had "D" shaped bases also. When I was searching, I had the same luck you did. One fellow I talked to said that he thought that the manufacturers don't put the D bases out on the aftermarket but only provide them to boat builders. Sounded kinda lame to me but I...

That's quite a project. Is the new tank the same dimensions as the old one so your old sender will work? By the way, I have had that refusal to load pictures and restarting the computer fixed it.

Oklahoma passport......AKA...siphon hose.

Russ, be aware that those little "push to reset" breakers for your individual circuits come in two different styles. Spade push-on connectors and screw-type connectors. Make sure to order what matches up with your panel. Just FYI.

Russ, Forget all that mumbo-jumbo about making your own reverse mold. Listen to what seasick said years ago. I did some repairs using those patterns and it work out great. When you contact them they will send you some small samples first so you can try them on your boat to see for sure which...

Jpod, The Tabman is gone. No one from Bennet has attempted to replace his invaluable service to all us boaters.

Right here on the Great Grady, for sale forum is just what you need....if you can slide the winch stand forward a bit. Most trailers have a "range" of boat lengths they will carry. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/2016-21-000-lb-real-xtreme-trailer-for-sale-perfect-for-300-marlin-or-306.27821/

If you are sure the vent line has no droops in it and is routed so it has a steady up-grade to its route so there can be no puddles, then my next guess would be that the fill hose either has a droop to cause a puddle or the hose is kinked. Not uncommon for riggers in a hurry to not take time to...

The top pair of pins are for adjusting swivel resistance. The allen with the spring sets a constant pressure on a friction pad so the seat will swivel smoothly when you loosen the long bolt that should have a black plastic knob on it. This is the one you tighten to lock your seat in any given...

Next time you are out, try trimming your engines down while planing to force the bow down more than usual and see if that puts water to the genny. If it does then moving the pickup aft is necessary. Before you go to that extreme, make sure though that there is nothing forward of the existing...
