    Wiper motors/ Marine stereos

    Bose makes a great outdoor speaker. I thingk they are called Enviromental Speakers - They sound great and takd direct spray form nature or your hose. I had them on a previous boat - and they were flawless - a bit pricey but a very good sound and durability that could not be beat

    2004 Sailfish Microwave

    Has anyone had to replace their microwave. Mine started beeping over the weekend and it would not run. I have not been able to locate one with the exact measurements. The heights are all about an inch too much. As I recall there was not a lot of extra room around the oven?

    Lobstering

    I did the same - I got sick of getting covered with muck on mh clothes too. It gets worse as the season contiues because the rope to the posts gets covered with some type of algae. Unless you are going to bait and pull daily it is not too productive - I would bait Sunday then come back the next...

    How many Grady owners carry spare props on board?

    I agree - I took one of mine off this past April in the boat yard and it was not something I could ever envision doing on the ocean. Imagine trying to get that cotter pin back in with waves breaking over your stern. The beer and waiting for a tow idea is my type of fix. Already paid Seatow for...

    Sailfish Trailer Cost

    Thanks for the tips - A few of the comments brought back memories when I had a 19 foot Mako with a trailer. Maintenance was a pain - it was pre buddy bearings and the worst was having it sit in the yard all summer. I think I will try buying the stands and having it hauled - still saves over a...

    new 4 strk 200HP on '87 23' seafarer, keeping in wet slip??

    I had an 85 Seafarer with an HPDI on it and it ran fine - the issue you may have with the 4 stroke is too much weght - I would talk to a GW dealer before proceeding. The 200 HPDI is a remarkable engine and I know you would be happy with the perfromance , reilability and gas economy. Good Luck

    Sailfish Trailer Cost

    Does anyone have an idea of how much a trailer cost that can handle a Sailfish. I pay about 1,500 a year for winter storage and was debating just bringing it to my back yard ?

    Gulfstream Electrical Question

    I had the issue with the spreader and dome and it was the swithch on the dome light. I asume you have the same setup. Pretty easy fix and the swithch is readily available at your dealer The toughest part was getting the cover off the light - if i recall is is somhow though bolted. Good luck

    Maintenance on electric head and pumpout

    I have a 2004 Sailfish and yesterday I was checking all the electrical systems prior to my launch next Saturday and luckily all went well. Does anyone do any maintenance to the head system. I have never done anything but winterize it ? Thanks

    Water lines freezing

    I think it depends on how deep a freeze you are expecting - pipes will usually not burst until the temperatures are in the low 20s for a while - Is there a way you could put an electric heater in the boat for the few days or hook your boat te electricity and run your heat if you have built in?

    Name placement

    In Massachusetts a documented boat does not carry registration numbers. The coast documented name and hailing port serve as the way to identify the vessel. Additionally there is a requirement of installing permanent documentaiton number on the hull. Sounds complicated but it is really isn't...
