    Anchor Line Capacity

    What model did you order, vertical or horizontal. The horizontal might but you a bit more space for line. The issue is not how much line the locker can store but rather how much line can the set up handle without jamming. As the line piles up the distance from the pile to the capstan gets...

    Express 330 with 300s?

    It was a few years back that Yamaha stopped putting manufacture dates on the model info decals. Did they change that policy?.

    1989 Tournament 19 Gas tank part number

    First time I've heard of that request before. Do you at least know the capacity? I am curious, how will your fabricator know the dimensions based on part number only? Who's part number are you asking for, Grady's or the original supplier of the tank? I might try a few marine tank fabricators...

    Gas tank

    You have to experiment to see if the boat handles as you want it to. Sometimes the extra weight forward improves the ride and handling by lowering the bow. It may turn out that having half a tank main and half a tank aux offers better handling in your typical seas. There is no issue leaving a...

    Vinyl for windows

    What model boat? It looks like there is more going on than just shrunk plastic trim. Is water getting into the cabin?

    I would like to know how the tongue weight was measured and what that figure was.

    Express 330 with 300s?

    How do you know what version a F350 is? Does the serial number range tell you?

    Express 330 with 300s?

    When the 425s were offered as an option, the transom was modified to add strength due to the weight and thrust of the motors. I don't know what year that change was made but it shouldn't be hard to determine I suppose.

    Towing Grady with Jeep

    Here is a display I found a few minutes ago. It is the only one so far that mentions Jeeps and I don't know it it is compatible with your vehicle. It is interesting though. https://aeroforcetech.com/collections/gauges/products/interceptor-obd2-single-gauge-jeep-wrangler-jk-2007-2017

    Towing Grady with Jeep

    There are aftermarket transmission temperature displays that are very helpful when towing. The issue with overloading is overheating the transmission ( well, overstressing the brakes too I suppose). Tranny temps may be fine until you have an incline to climb. With the monitor, you take a break...

    Bimini 306 Fuel tanks and fills

    Your tanks have vents but probably integrated into the fill fixture (what we call a combo fill, the thing you put the gas nozzle into). Yes the fill fixtures are usually on the gunnel but that is not what I was talking about. On the deck of your boat (floor) there will be various round pop out...

    Sailfish scupper hoses

    Do not use stainless for below the water line applications. It will rust. That includes most really close to the water line thrus that may at times be submerged. Use bronze , chrome plated bronze, or Marelon composite ( How did I do Dennis?)

    Bimini 306 Fuel tanks and fills

    Usually the larger capacity is the main. If you pull the deck inspection plates over the tank senders, you may be able to see a spec decal on the tank. It may be covered in dirt. If you don't see the capacity decals, pull the deck plate over the fill and vent tank connections. The forward most...

    cleaning cabin ceiling in a 228

    If the material is carpet like, you can try an aerosol spray carpet cleaner. Some you vacuumed off when dry . Its worth a try. As they always say "try it in a non conspicuous spot first. There are also liquid carpe cleaners that you can mix with water, wet the material, scrub with a soft brush...

    Marlin stove top replacement

    There are several choices but to make things easier for the install, you need to know your current size, both outside and insert cutout. The depth is important also to accommodate the enclosure and connections. I assume your current stove is 120v. I am not recommending any models, just...

    Suzuki Props For Marlin

    Be careful making comparison. That zuke has a different LU gear ratio than you would see on a Yami. The gearing in general on the zuke is very different in that there are two sets of reduction gears rather than one. I would see how the dealer installed props perform before looking at...

    Prop size ?

    I can't remember what I did 15 minutes ago. Am I supposed to remember 2 1/2 years ago? :) I should look back and see if I said the same thing.

    New 1996 Grady White Islander 268 with twin 200 V6 Mercs

    Alcohol will dissolve the varnish. That is what when Ethanol fuel was introduced, many folks had issues with the fuel components getting gummed up. On a different note, using a shop vac in a gas tank is a terrible idea. You are lucky the vac it didn't blow up. Seriously, gas fumes will linger...
