That would be a shame to cover that beautiful wood. Usually that enhanced veneer is thick enough for at least a couple of judicious sandings.

If it were me, I would stay with the blocks. They do the job of displacing water but yet can be removed if you ever need to weld on the bracket or bolt on something in the future. What's that old saying, "If it ain't broke....." You can still put evacuation tubes in if you want but for my money...

...and big wire and heavy fuses.

This is the business card of the guy that surveyed my previous boat before it was shipped to Perth. The boat you are looking at is on Pine Island only about 40 miles south of me. Brent, the surveyor, lives very near Pine Island so travel time will be small. I just talked to Brent and he is on...

Simon, Glad to here you were able to become the proud owner of one of the few GW boats on your side of the pond. It would be very interesting to see pictures of her in your local boat harbor. I have been watching the news about Brexit and I have to admit I don't fully understand all of it's...

On 4 stroke Yamahas there is a plastic intake air box/silencer on the front of the engine with a crankcase vent hose connected to it. It is part of the emission system. After running for a few hours a bit of oil can build up in that silencer due to a slight oil mist in the recycled crankcase...

It would be my advice to not use a third party outfit to do that work. There should be contact info on the unit itself to lead you to the genuine refurbisher. If you have first hand knowledge of a third party outfit that is legitimate then that's fine but the fact that you have posed the...

He was a class act for sure. R.I.P. Tom

This may fit your interest a little better...…………………….

Seasick is right on with this advice. In many instances for critical installations such as navigation lights the Coast Guard does not approve of substituting LED bulbs in fixtures designed for incandescent ones.

Trapper, I just saw this thread. Don't know how I missed it when it was current. Spectrum color is right here in Florida where I live. You probably have already solved your problem but I can sure have some sent to me and then forward it on to you if it would make it more reasonable cost-wise...

Looks like you did a fine job of prepping and installing your new tank. About your final question about the ASV. I removed mine and installed a standard barb fitting. Outboards are not required to have the ASV.

If the water in the forward portion of the hull is of concern and you don't want to mess with having to elevate the trailer tongue enough to get it to limber aft, then while you have the cockpit sole open you can install a piece of hose, even garden hose will work. Just make sure that one end...

It has been persisting this time for 13 months. Since Oct. 2017 We used to run 1/4 mile outside the Venice jetty and catch enough pinfish for the day in 20 minutes. Catching 2 to 5 at a time on a sabiki rig. Now you can spend an hour and catch maybe a half dozen. I don't waste my time on...

Red Tide got better for awhile here on the West coast of FL. It's back to making one cough when near the beach. Some dead fish rolling in but nothing like the big die off a few months ago. Charter guys and bait fishers are having a tough time.

X2....I agree fully. All good sensible choices on the equipment. I agree with Parthery about location. I have the same antenna mounted on the strbd side and I can lay it down from the captains station while standing. However if there are reasons for doing otherwise, any location will work. When...

Gee...thanks for including me in your thoughts fellas. I have had my credit card used by the nefarious lately....seems I bought a little over 400 bucks worth of video games. I guess a few boat parts wouldn't hurt.:rolleyes:

I believe that type of valve has replaceable seals. If it is leaking excessively you can probably get a kit for it.
