    What's black and blue and READ all over?

    LOL, you are on here often enough that there are not going to be that many to sift through. Each new thread tells which forum it is in, so just open the ones that you want to read. Right now I am showing seven out of the last eight are from the discussion forum, however, this thread is not...

    Sealing Deck Hatches

    If you remove the seal that often, bury a piece of hundred pound braid around the bottom of the joint, and fill on top of it. Remember which corner the ends are at(tie them together), and when you remove, dig up an end and pull, and you will at least cut the seal all the way around, and maybe...

    Tournament 307 - proper engine height?

    Old school method was to run straight down a smooth body of water at speed, and have a second person disconnect the motor that was not tied directly to the steering cable, or cylinder. The free motor would find its own track of least resistance, and you would adjust the linkage to that position...

    Tournament 307 - proper engine height?

    Doesn’t look like any wear marks on the adjacent holes. I think that historically, most manufacturers mount the engine as low as it will go, and it’s in the ballpark, even if it’s not a homerun. Maybe there’s a safety issue or a liability issue. Next time you’re at a boat show, look to see...

    192 Tournament Bilge access

    While my 22 has the same, I don't think any kind of hatch in the splash well is a good idea, if it can be avoided. If putting in a larger, rectangular hatch, I would be looking to put it in the removable center deck section in front of the wave gate.

    Help with AC

    Was that a one-time event, or does it repeat? That click sounds like a possible circuit breaker.

    Battery Charging

    My fridge was always AC/DC, and ran on shore power at the dock. Are GW DC only?

    fuel management gauge

    If you have 2 engines, and only one gauge, then you also have a toggle switch to select between the engines. The needle on the gauge reads the gallons per hour of the engine selected, and the numbers in the window are total gallons burned for both engines. Easy to see which engine is being...

    Toe Rail Removal on 208 Adventure?

    What's the brown strip? First guess is that they are hidden behind that.

    Windlass- Need Help

    Or just give it a foot of slack as you approach the drop spot, and let the boat's motion get it started. Not enough slack to swing down and chip the bow.

    Windlass- Need Help

    My anchor drops on its own, but it is rarely used, so I keep a snubber on it. Someone has to go release it anyway.
