GW used a PVC plastic drawer system on my boat. It was a clever system. I used it on another boat I had as well. Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere. You would buy a length of drawer material about 6' long and cut to length for drawer sides. There was a tool to cut oval notches in the ends...

Big controversy brewing at WMO. A 247.5 lb big eye tuna was weighed in Wednesday. It's now in first place for tuna. If no billfish qualify the money goes to the tuna and could be a $7,000,000 fish. But the crew was sloppy, posted a video of the catch on social media and someone said they were...

My 1997 Islander was re-powered with F150's in 2006. The old wiring harness and fuel flow meters were there. Eventually I disconnected and removed both and connected hoses directly from fuel valves to the filters. Both sending units were bad. Replaced them with WEMA style (you need to know tank...

Just do a search on GG for "vent window". It's not as straightforward as ordering one!

White Marlin Open going on this week. Cape May and Ocean City ports. $10.5 million purse. Challenging weather conditions and slow fishing. Day 2 - So far no qualifying blue or white marlin. 199 lb tuna in the lead - estimated $1,000,000. https://whitemarlinopen.com/

This is factory wiring for my boat. The bilge pump fuse in attached to the bottom edge of that switch board. It's a waterproof holder that snaps together. This is wired to the battery side of the switch so it's always on. The other wire goes into the harness. At the bilge pump you have 3 wires...

Ouch! Not quite as easy to push the circle hooks thru.

My fiberglass guy told me not to do a transom repair prematurely. Look for evidence of movement and more importantly cracks in the well and transom. Unfortunately it looks like you have movement. As others have said shake it up and get a experienced shop that can do transom work to look at it...

Fuel tank was ready yesterday. Picked up today. SP Sheet Metal in Clermont, NJ turned it around in less than two weeks! Had all the nitrile strips, fittings, hoses, sealant, etc. 134 gallon original GW tank size. About $10 a gallon plus $150 to paint. Lots to do to prep bulkhead repair, step...

Wasn't trying to be a smart aleck. These manufacturers think nothing of changing opening size. Just the way I work on projects - don't make more work for yourself!

Find refrigerators that fit your opening. Go from there.

Baitwell fill hose and washdown hose replaced. Four new Duracell AGM's. Bilge scrubbed. Some re-wiring to finish. Next: Prepare for new bulkhead and glass work. Setup new fuel hoses. Tank should be ready next week.

Hose replacement complete. The baitwell fill hose comes out of the aft bilge, passes thru a bulkhead, turns forward (completely covered) enters a PVC tube thru the foam and pops up next to the fill fitting underneath the helm deck next to the water tank. It's possible to replace this hose...

Green/black hose up top is saltwater washdown. Secured with ty--wrap. Green/black hose underneath turn to the left and runs to the livewell fill. Hose on the left is the cockpit scupper. Of course all this is underneath and inaccessible from above. ev Hopefully this livewell hose runs thru...

With the fuel tanks out I can see the cooler hose. Need to look for the baitwell hose. Both on the Port side. What I can see looks like crap. Access port on Port side has a seacock that I don't understand this 2-hose seacock? One side to baitwell the other to cooler? Need to deal with fill hose...

The reply’s are right - the hard work part is striping and prepping the bottom. And if it’s not properly prepped you should not barrier coat and paint. My advice would be to power wash, sand, do minor repairs, barrier cost the repairs and bottom paint. See how it goes for a few years. Then...

Where are you? How long is the boat in the water through the year? "New" gelcoat is more resistant to water absorption. Dealers typically don't Interprotect before painting. GW seems to have avoided the problem that other manufacturers (Ocean Yachts, Post, others) had with gelcoat popping...

Rotary power wash and apply another coat of same paint. I use Pettit Hydrocoat. 1 I repaint the complete bottom every 2 years. Every year I do a “Carolina Smile” - waterline, bow and sides. Leave bottom alone. Bottom definitely should be blasted and painted. Probably best to have Marina pull...
