The rating for a particular wire is only in part based on it's size. The length of the run is also a factor. For that 2' run, 12g is totally fine. But you can double check by using a wire size calculator - Blue Seas is a reliable source. 12.2... yeah, that's low. I'm not surprised it's...

When you say you are getting "12V"... can you clarify? For example, 12.0 is a huge difference from 12.6.

Yes, it will certainly be lower. But by how much will remain to be seen as there are other variables. But, what you could do is add the extra weight on top of your existing engine and see how much it changes. However, you could always offset that by moving other weight forward or even just...

Agree... and "like" the closely-er :) I suspect you found the wrong wire... or you are suffering from a disease known as "previous owner syndrome" :)

Some Grady's did use squares of marine plywood (about 8" square).

Look around for a local upholsterer - they should be able to help you. I'm not sure what "Florida reference" means?

First thought would be to talk to your dealer about a warranty fix. Can you post a picture of what your setup is? I'm envisioning a simple black, nylon strap with a snap at either end and matching snaps on the door and somewhere on the boat. Possibly using a twist lock snap on one side (or...

In the past they did, yes. It's been a while since I talked with them. Give them your specs and wants (slightly smaller dimensions are OK but not bigger, for example) and let them work on finding something that would work. I have no idea how much more it would cost to have it made to your...

Reach out to Moeller Marine - they should be able to help.

That's good. No need to put new glass down when you don't have to.

You should post the full specs of the trailer you have along with a few pics.

Did you save the top skins to reuse them?

It wouldn't be a bad idea to take some sandpaper to the black stuff - on the off chance that it is some type of oxidation (or whatever) making it less effective. I don't see how that can hurt anything.

I've seen that black one a few times. Always wondered about it. Never noticed any corrosion issues to the surrounding metal so I never really thought more about it. I'm thinking the same as above - just some kind of initial coating. Is the picture you posted of YOUR anode? It's totally fine...

Oops. Sorry - that was Glacier. I'll take that "like" back and give it to Glacier :)

Yes, some kits are, as you wondered, "general" fit. As Skunk mentioned, look the diagrams - make sure you are looking at a diagram for YOUR serial number as sometimes there are changes made over the years.

There is no thick, plastic coating used on lower units - it's either paint or antifouling (which is also paint). I think you'll have to better explain or, ideally, post a couple of pics so we have a better idea of what you have there as it sounds like something out of the ordinary.

Gotcha. It's possible the housing is scored (it only takes a very small score to cause issues). Since it seems to be happy - and especially if it's happy out on the water, I wouldn't worry about it (although it would still "bug" me as to why :) ) But your last sentence is the most important...

"Coating"... are you talking about the paint or are you referring to antifouling?

Yup (to the above). They generally last a long time, but it's better to be proactive.
