Small side note - appears it's not a "huge" deal based on the pics, but reroute that ?drain line? so it's not dripping right on that power bar.

Good - it seems like you have a knowledgeable dealer to work with. Good luck!

Thanks, JJF. I work in the industry and one of my boat lines has been using SeaDek for about 6 or 7 years and I see these boats every Spring and Fall. It's been holding up very well. However, as I noted above, it depends on how the boat is going to be used. If it's being used for lot's of...

Did you try a known-good USB accessory to make sure the issue is actually the outlets? Did you try with the engines on? What about the question that was asked regarding whether or not there is a dash (or cabin) switch to turn on that circuit?

Any newer half ton truck will stop (you're right, that is a better question to ask than power) a small boat just fine, even if the trailer only has surge brakes (as opposed to EOH). Do you have brakes on both axles (you should)? I've never towed with the Ecodiesel Ram, but I've towed with...

1) Not admitting anything. I think it looks great! 2) I have experience with it. Does your "doubt" come from experience or just an opiniated guess? 3) Agree 4) Opinion-based - nothing wrong with that 5) Who are you referring to? I'm the only one that mentioned that before your post. Did you...

There's actually a number of posts on this forum (and literally, TONS, on the web) about this and you can search and get lot's of info to read. Don't get caught up in whether or not the info you find is on a Grady, or not. The boat doesn't matter. It all depends on how YOU boat and what you...

Re-read what I wrote. But you won't know till you do what I suggested.

When they glued the transom skin back on, they didn't grind the seam a few inches on eash side and lay in glass to bridge the repair gap. In other words, the repair seam was a weak point. I think you'd be fine (assuming no core damage, of course) with doing just that - grind, lay in new glass...

On a boat, that's actually pretty much par for the course! :) I'm going to assume that on a newer, larger boat the access has been made better? I hope.......

Good question. I don't know, but... start by comparing all the specs and pictures of both models side by side. Windshield changes, for example? But... that's a big gamble you're taking. If one little thing is different, you're relegated to paying someone to alter it since you won't be able...

If there's no on/off switch... I'd start by checking your fuse panel(s). I imagine you can find the fuse panel faster than I can from where I am :) I think if you just start poking around, you'll find the fuse panel - it's always somewhere that's accessible. It might even tell you where it is...

So you made it back from your initial trip and all was good so it's not like it's going to magically explode... sometimes issues take a bit to build up (like bearing overheating). SOMETIMES things happen quickly... sometimes they take a little more time. At this point, you're probably on...

Sounds more like you have chromed bronze. Chrome breaks down pretty easily in marine environments. The bronze, however, is extremely durable (better than SS, too!). The green patina you see is not a problem from a functional standpoint - a small amount is totally fine - it's actually the...

Ha! :) No, that was early Decemeber a few years ago. Mid coast Maine. It was just the first pic I could find with the header in view. BUT... it was AWFUL darn peaceful!!!!

15 years ago I nailed those two little sticks onto the top of the header and tied a piece of scrap string between them. Haven't had a bird since. The neighbors, though... always seem to have a nice-sized splotch of white paint directly under their header. I've often thought of fashioning...

Yup, good things to think about/discuss. The amount of pressure needed (well, vacuum, actually) to open the AS valve (compress the spring) is greater than what a siphon can create. Meaning, a break in the fuel line will not create enough vacuum to open the AS valve. The intent of the AS valve...

Yes and no. In reality, all that matters is the level of the fuel. But because the level COULD be at the top of the tank, that's why the regulation is "higher than the top of the tank".

The idea of the AS device is to prevent draining (obviously). So actually, regardless of OB/inboard, if the fuel line drops below the top of the tank at any spot, then it's needed. This is just my opinion, of course, but I still like the idea since if a hose would rupture, the end may fall...

1/4" pipe is usually about 1/2" OD... If I remember correctly, 3/8" pipe is a bit over 5/8". Best thing, though, is probably just to measure it. Since it sounds like you've had it in your hands already (the debris comment), just take it to HD and match up the pipe thread part in their plumbing...
