    Advice on raising scuppers?

    It is done, that's the white sanitary hose in the second pic. For anyone doing this, after doing 4 of these, I found the easiest way is to loosen the white flange nut under the deck, and unscrew the topside drain from the elbow. I used a large file in the 2 grooves on top, and once it started...

    Livewell/ Fish boxes re Rubber Seal

    https://www.maxumhardware.com/catalog/index.php Am I blind, or do they not have a 'search' on their website? I even created an account, still no luck.

    Aloha

    Enjoy! I have the same boat for sale, after 10 trouble free years. Bought a 2000 Seafarer this fall.

    I did call them today, and Fishtales was correct, it was the Wise facility in SC. Have not called Wise yet, as I am not sure which filler cushion was damaged.

    trailer springs

    Never seen the eye of a spring wear out, but the grease might keep them from squeaking as much. I have replaced the complete running gear a few times, and I wouldn't even start it without a 1/2" impact, and an angle grinder with some thin cut off discs. I bought an electric Chicago impact at...

    trailer springs

    Trailer brand is not important, especially that old. Measure eye to eye, count the number of leaves, and start looking. Lots of online trailer parts. Tractor Supply, Agri Supply may be local sources.

    Peter Jenkins -- Along The Edge Of America

    Mine has my name and address in the front, but please don't mail it back to me, yet. Send it to someone else. I have already paid to send it out several times. There should be a companion photo book that goes with my copy.

    Ski/Tow bar Removal

    Is the white piece in the 3rd pic the bottom of the actual pylon, or is the pylon inside of that?

    Advice on raising scuppers?

    You might think that hose is about to fall apart, until you try to wrestle it off.

    Macerator/Waste holding tank

    When I saw your picture, I thought about a threaded coupling on top of the pickup, and just screwing the macerator into it. It really would eliminate a lot of fittings. From the pic, I couldn't tell if the bulkhead in the background was overhanging the pickup.

    Advice on raising scuppers?

    You can buy a clamshell that turns a regular thru hull into a scoop. Mount it backwards over the thru hull drain on the hull side. Be ready for the questions it will bring.

    Hard Top, Soft Top or Bimini Top?

    I would be thinking of some type of brackets, like a slingshot with tall uprights, to go in the gunnel rod holders for the boards.

    Advice on raising scuppers?

    Lee, a wave on the deck of a center console, or a bowrider, is not as bad because the deck is flat all the way forward. But dumping all that water into the cabin of a walkaround is another story. I could plug that one cabin drain with my finger, and it goes into the bilge anyway. Those 2 forward...

    Advice on raising scuppers?

    I seriously doubt that 400 lbs of weight = 1 inch of displacement is a linear equation. My guess is that every inch of displacement would require a progressively higher weight. Most of us have seen the chart on how much water would flow through a one inch hole in your hull, and how dramatically...

    OX66 fuel leak?

    I can answer the first part. If you zoom in, you can see that there is an identical hose barb on the left end of the tube. What it does is beyond my pay grade. This engine has a whole external network of these little tubes, some have a blue stripe, and some have a red stripe.

    OX66 fuel leak?

    Thanks, I found it this morning, and just got everything back together. It was a short tube that was caught behind the fly wheel cover bracket. It has obviously been removed and not reattached at some point in the past, Because it was over the top of the bracket rather than under it, and those...
