Not to nit pick,but octane hydrocarbon fuel is hydrophobic and alcohols are hydrophilic. I do not know what this hydroscopic thing you speak of..lol. The hydroxy molecule, OH, on alcohols will bind with water. I minored in chemistry and we studied the properties of various carbon groups...

Nice pics.

Hey Guys: This is the season and year for me to get boat stuff fixed up. A couple years ago, humble brag lol, I was in Bimini and bent my anchor . We have not been to paradise since that trip and anchoring in the lake with a bent anchor has been doable because we are near the boat. If the Covid...

Before COVID happened, I started doing some remodeling and expansion at one of my stores. Initially, I was going to hire a lot of it out, but we have been shut down for 7 weeks now and I decided to keep going doing a lot of the work ourselves. The last 3 weekends we have been doing boat work...

I have been doing boat work the last few weekends. One thing I did was replace my fill and vent hoses. The fill hose I discovered at the end of the boating season would weep gas as you filled it. My boat is a cared for 08 and I am willing to be you a steak dinner that the hose is weeping fuel.

Actually, KY is a huge fisherman. It's mostly freshwater but I suspect he wets a line more than I do!

I just took delivery of the 942xsplus. It has all those sonar and radar options. I don't do a ton of bottom fishing , so for me sticking with my 1kw shoot through the hull airmar on 50/200khz is enough. If you bottom fish a lot all those ducers I suppose are worth every penny. The panoptix...

So, I call GW and ask them their opinion. They say while they still proudly make the 228 , they don't guarantee fit on models older than 10 years from the current year. My boat is now 12. They said I could my dealer and order them and they would gladly sell them to me new. So, then called my...

Nope. It is not. We have a covered boat shed. It's like a metal she shed but open on both ends. Maybe Sheryl is doing something in my she shed.

I have a friend here who we will call KY to protect his guilt. He has a 228 that is 4 years older than mine and significantly more abused . I bought my boat new in 2009. John, I mean KY got his a couple years ago. I am getting my bolsters redone and the seat back bolsters on the stern...

I was about to put either hot sauce or Lysol in there KY. Good thing I phoned a friend and you saved me from myself. Lol

Wow! I just replaced my helm and my son and I bled the system at the ram. It's a good thing I didn't put my grease gun on that ! On one hand grease is a petrol based thing and so is steering fluid. I suspect the steering fluid would act as a solvent and thin the grease out . On the other...

Wise won't do jack for you . I called yesterday and need seats and bolsters done or new. They politely said they don't sell to the public regarding Grady. Grady told me to to go to my dealer. Then Grady told me because my boat is now older than decade they can't guarantee new cushions for a 2020...

So, condensation is when warm moist air meets cold air or a cold surface and the moisture from the warm air turns to liquid when it hits the cool tank. Question, where do you live? Here in the Smokies one day it could be 72 daytime temps and a few days later it could be 34 at night. You could...

I love Grady and all, but it seems they have not learned their lesson . Their design of capping off the transoms is their Achilles heel. Even with their all composite boats after 2015 you would figure they would do something different. I would do the small pilot hole test and get a surveyor...

Well, if for instance the sea clutter mode is off and his range is close in ,then the screen could fill up with the noise from the wave action and the jetties and maybe adjacent condos and such. Where as if the range is 2 mile plus radius the clutter will be near the center and less as you got...

That's clutter. I don't have that brand. Some may have an auto declutter or sea clutter mode . You can manually drop out the clutter by reducing the gain (power) and you can manually adjust it until it goes away, then you can see real boats, the jetties and buoys. My Garmin has a sea...

Cole assembled the trim on the helm and helped me bleed the system. I asked if he wanted to put the wheel on and he was hesitant, yet it was actually the easiest job , lol. Here is a side story. Cole has epilepsy . It developed at 13. He was on various drugs including Depikote. It caused...

You see maybe 3/4 inch topside and it rolls down the edge. I will take a picture tomorrow. It's raining and grey. My son and I installed a new hydraulic helm today and bled the lines. I need to go fix supper . I have the GPS to do and fix the tank lid . Wait, I am replacing my scupper...

I just ,like 15 minutes ago, took off my seat backs of my 228. There is a funky bracket and in my boat they used two stainless steel screws they use to catch the bottom and hold tension with the bracket .
