Got it. In seems like you are correct, the switch is bad.

Now we let mother nature plug them up for us :)

I am not a fan of sharing discharge ports. A check valve should be added to both drain hoses to prevent back flow. Even then, the check valve will be prone to getting stuck open due to the crud that is often found in below deck storage lockers. Many below deck box designs use a macerator pump...

Could be the switch but also could be one of the relays. As suggested, disconnect the switch wires ( or harness) and then power up and see if the trim pump is running.

it may have a manufacturer's (not Grady) part number on it. Try looking. If you are referring to a gas shock strut device, the important specs to match a new one are the force in pounds (usually part of the part number), the open length and the fully retracted length. Be careful if you are...

You didn't say what transducer you have. Is it a thru or a transom mount? If the later, sometimes the angle of the transducer changes from either bumbling something or the swivel mount loosening. If you notice that the screen dat goes buggy at a certain hull angle , check the mount is transom...

Mold needs two things to grow; moisture and temperature above a certain level. In addition poor air flow can contribute to the growth. I think the question is more of "where is the moisture coming from: than "where did the mold come from" If you store things like wet lines, fenders, cushions...

The helm /dash area is not that big and up top is where Grady decided to put the switches. I can understand that since the upper panel can be removed to get to the back wiring. A MFD could be mounted on the top of the console but that will block a lot your line of sight, especially if you are...

Geez.. Are those things really $680 each???? In any case, Boats.net when checked for availability says they can ship in 2 to 3 days. I would call them to be sure. You might also try Partsvu if you haven't already Did both go bad at the same time? That would lead me to suspect something else maybe

Some of the flaps have a crease molded in where they flex. If you can flip those they may stay shut and not open to let water out.

Measure the old ones accurately. I find that the TH kits, although they have 3 different sizes, none are the exact fit. It depends on which scuppers you are replacing. just 1/16 of an inch can be the difference between a nicely operating flap and a binding/leaking one. Exact fits are available...

I based my opinion on the roughness of the drilled hole. It is poorly finished. In addition the screws seem a tad less tarnished tan than the other screws. As mentioned the lack of a label is odd. If it is a breaker for the shore power, that is easy to check assuming you can connect to shore...

It doesn't look factory. I think it was added later and could be anything

The more I think about it, the less convinced I am that I am correct about sealed coffins. For example, Grady recommends that you rinse the tank off every now and then and I have (albeit more 'then' than 'now') and the water apparently went somewhere:) Is it possible that the design is for...

The tank coffin is sealed by design. The theory is that if the tank leaks, the fuel should not leak into the bilge. There should be a tube that runs from the foward bilge area to the aft bilge. That drain tube often will run under the tank area. Inspecting/repairing all the stringers is hard...

That probably eliminates the batteries as the cause. ( but not the battery switch) I don't know if the following was asked . To eliminate another possible source, can you start the motor on either battery? If so does it crank over normally on either battery? I had another thought just to add to...

What are your goals for an additional battery? How many motors does your boat have? Haw many battery switches does it have? Do you want to power a lot of loads when the motors are not running? Do you want to dedicate a third battery to something specific?

My Garmins are voltage sensitive and will reboot if the voltage drops below a certain value. To fix, that I turned off the low voltage alarm and the unit stopped rebooting.Note that 8 volts will probably cause most MFDs to shut down. In my case voltage when cranking the motor was about 10 and a...

Having experienced repairing model 2000 208 sliders which worked for a while but are again wobbly, i would look into replacing the slider itself. The old seats may be Todd but the sliders apparently aren't. There are no manufacturer's markings on the original sliders anywhere. I did find out...

What a lot of folks miss is the test of the voltage drop on the negative feed conductor. It is as important as the +12v feed. You might think that if you connect a voltmeter to a negative battery terminal and the negative bus bar lug at the helm, you would read 0 volts. If there is any current...
