    Replacing bilge pumps in a Tournament 225G

    What kind of pump is there? Can you just snap in a new motor, and reuse the existing base?

    Need insurance recommendations

    "......When the agent looked at my policy he told me that my Boat US/ GEICO policy has unlimited towing as part of the policy. This means I could cancel my Boat US Tow policy for like $160/year..........." That doesn't sound right for BUS/Geico. I would verify the towing with my own eyes...

    Non Ethanol fuel station

    I thought ValveTect was a fuel additive, not the fuel itself. So, It could be added to ethanol, or ethanol-free, fuel.

    Trailer question

    I don't know what the configuration is at the transom, some boats have the end of the hull, and then an extension that is a few inches higher. But, if extending those bunks would keep them in contact with the bottom, then it should be done. Looks like the engine is mounted directly to the...

    Trailer Bow Tie Down

    I looked at my boat this week-end, and have exactly the same set up as you, as far as the equipment, and my roller is in exactly the same place, but I only trailer 200 yards to the ramp. Except, my strap is over the top, and I winch on clockwise. Maybe it just depends on whether the lever is up...

    Trailer Bow Tie Down

    Yes, over the top with the strap, I did not see that. That also gives you a clockwise handle rotation, which to me is a better power stroke for winching the boat on the trailer. You could also use a longer strap, to fill up the winch drum, and raise the height of the strap another inch or so...

    Trailer Bow Tie Down

    Your winch strap is already pulling slightly down on the bow. Sliding the winch down the post far enough to tuck that bow eye under the roller would greatly increase that downward pull, and might make the last few feet a tough pull on some ramps. I would keep a level pull on the strap, and cut...

    Look what’s missing

    Good looking install! Most of the pics of your horn look like the bell is slanting upward. Make sure it is down, so that it drains.

    Remote engine flush

    You don't need a Y, because the cap that the hose screws into when not is use is just that, a dead-end cap. Although, it would offer a nice way to support that end. Just screw a 6 foot hose into the flushing hose, and secure it so that it doesn't flop around on the engine end. To cap the other...

    Bad Float Switch Positive Wire Forward Bilge Pump 330 Express

    Do you know the source of power for the bad wire, so that you can disconnect, or did you just run new power to the float switch?

    Another good trip to Santee!

    How do you keep that fish for a dockside release? Do you swim it on that stringer line?

    Thru Hull Hose Replacement

    Here is one idea to consider. The hose barb on a thru hull is smaller diameter than the threaded part. If the TH is located where you have a hard time reaching, forcing that hose on will be difficult. But, if the hose will fit thru the opening in the hull, put it on the TH first, and feed the...
