Are you still using the boat, or are you finding the leak first?

Thanks!

I wouldn't mount one as close as that grey Garmin for two reasons. One, it is right in front of the prop, and two, it is right behind where the thru hull scoop is on my boat.

I would do whatever is best for my kid, as I am sure you have been doing for at least 22 years, and boat depreciation would be a distant second concern. I think there are options, other than painting the bottom black, or some other traditional bottom paint color. I have seen boats with the...

Anyone know what pump was used on a 2000 Seafarer? Mine starts off sounding strong, but within 5 seconds the rpms are way down, and a low voltage warning starts flashing on my GPS. I will try it with a jump box next to the pump, to rule out wiring, but I want to be prepared when I go down Thursday.

Is there a flat round plate that will replace the bow lifting eye? I installed a windlass on top of the hatch last week, and although the chain is above it under tension, it rubs with any slack. As to the anchor itself, on my NTM Seafarer, an 11 pound Danforth style sticks out so far that I had...

The Keder rail, or awning track, comes in several sizes, as does the piping that slides into it. 5/16 of an inch, four, six, 7 mm, etc. if AJ did your canvas, you would expect them to get it right on a Grady, but I would double check and ask what size they used.

CHAIN: The continuous piece that is formed when both halves of a zipper are meshed together. CHAIN SIZE: Refers to the specific gauge of the chain, i.e., size of the teeth. TEETH: The individual elements that make up the chain. SLIDER: The device that moves up and down the chain to...

Along side the teeth, not above or below. You only need to cut one side of each zipper to separate it. The zipper should extend several inches above the track, rather than being in it at the top. Once you separate the pieces, they should slide out of the track. You can take a pair of snips, and...

Cut the fabric zipper tape, right along side the zipper teeth. Do not cut the canvas. Another option is to just wedge an awl into the large end of the zipper slide, and force it open enough to remove it from the teeth. Then you should be able to pull the teeth apart.Don't stab yourself!

While you're down there, check the clevis yoke that connects the rod to the handle of the ball valve. My boat is the same year, and had a steel yoke that had disintegrated at some point before I bought it. TH Marine doesn't sell the yoke separately, (although they sent me one :)), but...

If you don't have a heat gun, borrow your wife's hair dryer, when she's not looking. Or maybe you have your own.

Thanks for the pictures and the explanation. My windlass is a 10-year-old Simpson Lawrence Horizon, And did not come with a contactor. Everything runs through the switch.

KY, can you explain the wiring in your original post? I read it as the black and red runs from the battery in the rear, to the windlass in the front, with the two lugs in the red cable being at the helm, to accommodate the circuit breaker and up-and-down switch. I am moving my windless from my...

My first thought was a maintenance charge going to your batteries. Try turning the charger off and see if it affects the light.

This flat starter cable has three wires. Looks like it goes to the helm, but it is just tucked out of the way there and doubles back on itself just out of sight. One large lead connects to the negative on battery one. The other large lead is the square looking cable with the red sleeve, on...

Thanks.

2000 Seafarer. What are the three fuses off the battery switch for?

On the Seafarer, how did you run the wire from the helm to the anchor locker?
