Thanks Dennis, exactly the area of thought I was looking for, it maybe fabricate a wood piece to fill in the majority instead of so much filler. Maybe a good piece of dry oak will expand/contract less and near same as the bondo glass filler. Once I get into the project, I will see what I have...

Hi Dennis, agree with what you are saying and yes, it is wider to accommodate the different type anchor and will need to sit on the top of the pulpit. If I don't fill it in, then the mounting bolts will be exposed. I also don't think it would be good to have the open gap underneath, so ok with...

Hey folks, we have been talking about our pulpits and anchor retrieval issues over time in many posts. I think I am ready to make an upgrade to my fitup. As we know/have learned, the original pulpit anchor roller is very narrow and was suited perfectly for the Danforth type anchors. However...

Best way to figure out the angle is when boat is sitting in the water, check the level on the radar dome and then decide if you need to change the pitch. In my case, my hardtop curves downward going forward and I just put a couple of washers on the front and it came out perfect. Keep in mind...

To date, all the laminated sheets on my model Grady do not peel. I re-laminated my transom bulkhead years ago and it is still great. Laminate plastic is really tough stuff and holds up great to the weather. Just use plenty of glue on both surfaces, allow tackup and apply correctly. Videos on...

Consider the weight of the Starboard. It is very heavy. I would go with Marine Ply 3/4" and soak the edges with the CPES resin. It will never rot at the edges where of the wood soaks up the water. Cover it with plastic laminate and don't look back. There is a reason the boat manufacturer's...

Curious, why did it throw a rod?

Just finished trying some zip ties and made sure the anchor chain was on the bottom side of the shank. It works great coming over the roller! However, my zip ties were just too weak. As the anchor came over the roller, it pulled the zip ties, without breaking. I went to the hardware store and...

Agree Halfhitch, that would be the right solution and ingenious design. I too have visited and reviewed over and over again over the years. Problem for me has been none of that hardware will come up easily through my very narrow 1-3/4" with roller. After doing some research, and some...

New trailer looks great and I am sure you are happy with the peace of mind! I was hoping to get mine this week, but they said nope, maybe next week! Bummer! Would have been the perfect weekend to swap it out since fishing is out due to the weather. Interesting on the fitup you had to do with...

Since it is not going to be a fishing weekend due to the high winds/seas....AGAIN, I was thinking if I could rig the chain to be on the underside of the anchor shank, it might allow the anchor to come on up and over the roller. The problem I was having was as the chain came up with the zip...

My understanding a while back reading about the exhaust rot was somewhere early to mid year 2006ish is when they started production with the new alloy's.

I have been watching the zuki's also and really like them. Glad to hear they are doing well. Only concern I have so far is the weight. They seem to be much heavier than the new Merc's in case that might be a factor on the repower. If the weight is no issue, then is a no brainer. For me, I would...

Like Dennis said, mine had the phillips screws in the slots. Use a very bright LED spotlight while you spread them apart and look for that little slit, then use a new/good phillips head to find the bite into the head of the screw and back them out.

I tried to rig mine breakaway style, but when I do that, I can't retrieve the anchor without it getting hung up at the roller. Sometimes it is very tough to go up and walk the plank in rough seas trying to pull on the chain to finagle the anchor to come up over the roller and hold it, then try...

Best price and great quality rode came from Cableloft. I got 600' 1/2" 8 plait with 30' of 1/4" G4 chain several years ago at a great price. Best price I could find anywhere and you can custom build your own rode on their site with what you want it to be. Worth taking a look...

Easy there halfhitch! :eek:

Old gas usually has a sour smell to it.

I found some offwhite laminate and used it on my transom board and it nearly matched the gelcoat. Easy to use and trim and very durable.

Mine is bolted directly to top. My model hardtop has a slight slope down going forward, so with radar mounted at front edge, it is perfect.
