Did you already have a price for your old trailer before going there? Seems like they would have you over a barrel otherwise.

Am I the oldest one here? Navy '68-'71 Charleston USS Glennon DD840

Until someone hits your engines! How will you, and the missus, board? If you have a transom door and a swim platform, make sure it is inside the end of the dock.

Russ, there is a screen for your hatch, if you know the manufacturer, and size. Or, just call the Grady help desk, and they can tell you while on the phone. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=hatch+screen&_sacat=26443 I have seen some universal screens, which are...

I wouldn't think that anyone would mount outriggers, without mounting them through either a dedicated, reinforced spot on the top, or a substantial metal plate welded into the frame underneath, or both. That's a lot of leverage. SeanC, is this such a spot, or are you just picking one, and...

Do we know that the core is wood, not foam? I think there are 2 different approaches, one is to drill the appropriate hole, and soak the exposed core with resin. The other is to drill an oversized hole, and create a puck, which becomes structural, and then drill through the center of that. The...

You're going to need a bigger gate!

The have a 3 or 4 inch pin at the top. Put your 2 corneer grommets over the pins, and use some light line with a small loop over the pin, and tied as far aft on the transom an possible, to the lifting eyes usually. That holds the poles in the rod holders, and stretches the canvas back. Similar...

Good luck, ENJOY! I will be so bold as to suggest that you will benefit from a pressure washer...

Moth balls seem to keep most rodents away..

Maybe not in 86/87, but more recently most have the numbers within 3 feet of the end of the cable jacket. I couldn't see them on my '93 Tournament, called the factory, and the help desk gave me an answer in less than a minute.

You need the strainer basket submerged to pump water, not air, that's about 3/4 to 1 inch. Mounted on a block, that's another 3/4 to 1 inch. That's no longer the lowest point in the bilge, if that is really your goal. There are one or more blocks glassed into the bilge , from the factory, for...

LOL, that what I meant to ask, windlass don't handle swivels too well.

Some anchors spin all the way up, once they lift off the bottom. Do you have a good swivel between the chain and the rode?

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=running+an+io+out+of+the+water Most likely the water pump is in the out drive, with that size motor, and on a trailer, but check for a through hull fitting that connects to the cooling system. Didn't really look at these videos, just a sample of...

It all depends on whether you are buying for your home dock, where every time is the same, or whether you will be covering the bases for cruising, waterside restaurants, etc. There have been plenty of times when I threw a line to a dock hand from more than 15 feet away on a windy day, or a...

Time flies, doesn't it? I was surprised how affordable that radio is that I linked above, plus it has a $30 rebate through June 30.

The most debated points in all these back-up bilge pump threads is, should the second pump be mounted higher, or just the second float switch is higher, and should it be switched. Personally, I say mount them all as low as possible, it is not just a high water back up, it is also to back up a...
