The pump that runs continuously and doesn’t draw water up is bad - probably diaphragm. Check that everything is tight. They can be rebuilt but I usually replace with exact same pump so mounting and hoses are in same place.

The older boats used something like this: https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/table-attachement.36202/#post-256435

A few years. Had trouble getting rope/chain splice to feed but solved it. The Lewmar 700 is good choice for a 268/270 for line capacity. You could go bigger but I'm pleased with mine. 250' of anchor rode and 20' of 1/4" chain...

Frequency of the two transducers don't overlap. Should be ok there. Use Active Captain to update the plotter software. Probably won't help though. Go into the Garmin settings for the sounders and look for the transducer diagnostics. Give that a try to see if it picks anything up. You can also...

I have a Lewmar ProFish 700 Horizontal with a Five Oceans pivoting bow roller. Search GG Hookup1 Lewmar.

Replacing connectors on my fuel tank sending unit. Factory wiring not tinned copper - raw copper. Keep stripping back and all I get is black wire. Common problem on the GW's. I was able to use a Dremel wire wheel and a block of wood to clean the wire. Strip wire back and use wheel to work away...

Depends on why you are anchoring. If you were doing serious wreck fishing or anchoring in a few hundred feet of water you wouldn't be using a windlass. Most boaters don't need anything crazy. 20' of chain and 150' to 200' of rode would be fine.

Even the paint finish started to fail over time. You can see where the neoprene strip were that also failed to adhere and compromised the paint and tank. Interesting that the tank did not corrode where there was no support underneath it (1/4 the way down). Not sure there is a cost effective...

Look at the wires coming from the battery charger.Typically they are wired direct to the battery lugs. So no -switches are not involved. Bilge pumps too-via fuses.

Can't tell exactly where this is on the boat but it looks like a grab rail. You need to remove it and re-caulk with 3m 4000uv. Make sure you use 316 stainless bolts to put it back on. The rust stains can be removed with a spray rust remover but if you don't fix the problem they will come back.

If not done right you will bust the hardtop up, You could install a plate on top of aluminum frame.Or reinforce and weld in a backing plate. Or both! Ky Grady has a no-weld solution. GemLux Deluxe rigger bases and Rupp 15' telescoping riggers.

Start with the outrigger mounts, reinforcement and backing. The rigger poles are the easy. part

Lots of conflicting info on Google but this site was helpful. https://www.pure-gas.org/ Clicked on DE and found 3. Call the closest one and they have it - $4.15 at the street.

Can anyone confirm REC 90 non-ethanol fuel is available in Delaware. When my fuel tank project is finished I was thinking of taking the ferry from Cape May over to fuel up. Airports in NJ are not allowed to put aviation gas in anything but an airplane.

For me it's going to be a new 134 gallon forward tank and preparing to a new 72 gallon aft tank that I may or may not install (I don't need the capacity). Take a close look at the old aft tank. Tank was not leaking. Along the bottom were two self adhesive neoprene strips that came loose over...

Start with the "experienced boat builder gave me that advice". This a typical internet example of someone making an anonymous statement with no credentials or experience to back it up. It may work and it may not. Doubtful it has been time tested. When buying new tanks for my boat I talked to two...

I have a real problem with this kind of advice.

Placed new tank, completed the new bulkhead installation, installed tank spacers, cleaned up and placed floor over fuel tank. Some fiberglass work and cleanup next.

If i had your use case I would and knowing what I know now I would first - not fill the tanks in the fall. Install a set of Sierra clear bowl fuel filters. Make sure you replace fuel fill o-rings. Run the boat with forward tank only. I do this all the time with my NJ/FL seasons. Fuel leak will...

A center console is easier to fish off of but there is no place to store anything. I seriously fish my walk-around. It has the advantage of being able to store equipment. It's my tackle box!
