I'm not sure what you are talking about. After this I started wearing a sock. Painting was messy. Glass work wasn't too bad.

Let's see what to owner comes back with. I'm confused too what is happening when he is filling the tank. Slow down and backup.

If it were mine I would stay with the existing plastic tank. Check exiting vent hose setup. If nothing fixes it install a forward vent. Call Moeller and see what they recommend to install a forward vent in an existing tank. You could also pull the sending unit, make a hole up front, snake back...

Looking at your GW print I see a vent at the forward end of the tank.

I'm not convinced changing the tank out will fix anything. I'm going with vent hose being the cause. Did you have this problem before the re-power and transom work? A long run with a belly close to the tank would cause burping problems but not a 1/2 tank fill. I would remove the existing vent...

That is probably right for nav/anchor light... Nav light are a little different in that they use two wire and reverse polarity to switch both or anchor light (diode in light). Although on small boats I'm not sure it matters. For wipers it's different. One double pole powers the starboard wiper...

No.

There is nothing easy about finding a replacement vent window. If you can find someone with one it's your best bet. Marine Glass Specialties in FL bought all the Water Bonnet inventory. They have some materials but no glass. If you have the aluminum hinge you can substitute acrylic or...

The wiper swipe switch should be a double pole double throw switch with center position "off". The center terminals are common and wired to a "hot" 12 volts. Two wire comes back to the panel - one for each wiper motor. Both go to "switched" side of the wiper switch. One side has a jumper to the...

What zinc's are you talking about? Trim tabs? If your layout is anything like mine there is a small aft deck hatch that can be removed. Removing this gives me better access to to saltwater washdown and aft bilge pump. Your boat may not be setup that way. You need good access to swap that pump...

I would try SIM Marine or one of the other engine/parts sponsors. Not that you won't get an answer here but it's kinda like open heart surgery - go to a specialist.

The Marlin. owner's manual I looked at had a fresh water breaker on the DC panel. On I my slander there is a switch on the helm panel. I wonder if GW had it wired to a switch as well if the customer wanted it that way.

I would make up a jumper from the battery and test each pump directly. Check bilge fuses, pump and switches. Then test each from the switch panel the same way - apply power to the connector and bypass switch. Fishtails point about replacing pumps is a good one. Is the boat down in Cape May yet...

You will never be able to follow the wire. If it goes back into the harness it's gone! Your best bet is the wiring diagram in the owners manual. Look for the orange/blue. Only one I could find.

Download the owner's manual from the Grady White site. Usually there is a wire color code table. It may be an Accessory switch. Could be wired to anything! Can't really see all the wires in the photo. Ignore the common wires between switches. When does the active wire go? Back into the harness...

Obviously the hardtop will have to come off the boat to work on it. I used threaded eyebolts with a strap to lift off and on with the help of a friend's forklift. All the old caulk has to be cleaned off. Nothing will stick to the old silicone. That was an aggressive sanding operation. Then you...

You can add that to your profile. GW Cust Service may be able to provide a drawing of the tank. Check it though. I got my tanks from SP Tanks. Certified tank builder. Competitive pricing. Smaller tank like yours may not be too bad to ship. https://www.sptanks.com/

Has anyone looked at repairing the old valve? May be a o-ring replacement job. Interesting note: I ordered o-rings from McMaster-Carr for deck plates. Took several orders to get them sized right. I paid return shipping back. McMaster credited the product and shipping of the original orders back...

There a lot of factors to consider and I'm fine helping you navigate. First two questions - 1.) What level of finish do you want? 2.) Are you doing the work yourself. I started out trying to find someone to refinish the hardtop. No one wanted a "small" job. Others told me to just replace it -...
