I don’t but can use my friends. Per the test, it’s reading 12.6v but 643CCA for a 550CCA rating

Thanks...Definitely not making any sense. Tested today as a good battery. Think this test result can be trusted? Was looking to buy another interstate but can’t find them nearby...Dicks doesn’t allow online purchase, Costco’s stock is 2yrs old...

All - I am trying to figure out if I have a short or a bad battery. My 2nd battery was dead when I received the boat in the fall. I charged it up, got it tested and the store said it was a good battery. Fast forward to this week and using it for the first time, it won’t start or even turn...

Thanks...Going to do some this weekend. There are a few spots right below the throttle that I always see water coming from after I wash the floor and think the sealant just broke down over time. As for the fuel tanks, debating on just caulking over what is there now as it’s about a half inch...

With regards to the GE silicone 2, is there a preference for the bathroom/ kitchen or door/ window version? About to purchase it but not sure what the difference is.... thanks!

You beat me to the post. The same thing is on my mind and I know going through the livewell is the answer, but I am not looking forward to working upside down to get it done. Interested in the feedback....

Thanks for the quick responses. I went ahead and bought a couple on “subscribe and save”...Hopefully, they eventually come!

Does anybody use STA-BIL Marine Ethanol Treatment and Fuel Stabilizer? Or is Yamalube (incl Ring Free) the preferred fuel stabilizer/ additive? Reason I ask is that Amazon has the 32 oz marine version currently on sale for $6.80. Below is the link. Believe Walmart matched it at $8. Debating...

Good Evening All - After becoming a boat owner again in late October, it's been nearly 15-20 years since my family last had a boat in Bayville NJ. With Spring right around the corner, I would like some recommendations on a reputable and trustworthy service/ repair shop. I am looking for the...

Confirmed in NJ as well

I recently purchased a 2000 Seafarer 228 and was aware of this damage on the hull. My plan is to repair it prior to having the bottom painted in the Spring. Hull Repair (pics 391, 399, 402) 1. What is everyone's thoughts on this scrape of the hull? 2. How should it be repaired? Should I...

With a new to me 228, I decided the canvas would pay for itself over the timeframe I expect to have the boat. After calling multiple businesses in NJ, I landed on PM Winter Boat Covers. Darren was very helpful along with Fred at Fisher Canvas. There are multiple vents, 2x4 sleeves, and an...

Take a look at this post. I bookmarked as I plan to replace the trim/ molding at some point. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/gunnell-molding-replacement.20847/

If you go with that charger, West Marine has them on discount for Black Friday (50%off, I believe).

After working on my boat this weekend, I learned that the Seacocks actually move easily and freely. I have no clue why they wouldn't budge the last time I tried in what was 70 degree temperature, but they worked great in the low 30s. I took the 2nd battery out and have it charging now...

So, having just gone through my experience, you seem to be taking a similar approach. I started looking at various makes and models in the 22ft range before eventually landing on the Seafarer based on all of the reviews on the internet and feedback. You would think it would get easy once you...

Loved this. My dad being around cars in various aspects his whole life (now 80) makes me raise all batteries including chargers off the ground. Then puts a barrier between the battery and anything touching concrete. Guess he isn’t the only one that thinks this...

Thanks everyone for all of the feedback and advice. I plan to tackle it this weekend and will let you know how it goes

Thanks for the pics. I totally overlooked removing the live well for a better access point. From other posts, I heard it’s a bit of a pain but will go down that path. Has anyone had those valves replaced? Some articles mentioned that Grady offered replacements as there were known issues...
