If you haven’t spent some time running around in the Keys you should. Especially running the Bay side from Miami down. Great experience that will help with your Bahama’s trip.

It’s all a function of where the manufacturer sets the deck.

Common problem. Especially if fuel tanks are full. Get skinnier friends of have them stay up front!

Do you mean cockpit or cabin? I get a little water in my cockpit.

I had replaced the school bus style with black ones from Amazon. They pop on the sprocket. Last year I eliminated wipers while updating the look of the boat and re-painting.

Where are you based out of? Year of boat and what motors? Condition of the boat and all systems? All safety gear? I did the Bahama's trip several time with my family. That was in the late 90's and on larger boats. My kids still talk out their Bimini trips! I would recommend teaming up with...

Ditto. Make sure stuff is moving under the hood. Sometimes the cable clip comes of and the cable has nothing to push against.

That transducer is available in three different "tilt" degrees - 0, 12 and 20 degrees. It does not have to be centerline mounted. Some GW models (like mine) have transducer mounting pads on port and starboard side. They are blocked on both sides of the hull to provide a zero degree mounting...

They are going to be plastic unless they are below the waterline. Hard to take out with adhesive caulk on them. Best to drill them out with a hole saw or better yet a stepped bit and throw them away. I replaced mine with the GemLux stainless. They look awesome and I think you saw them (I think...

Before epoxy fairing is applied AwlFair recommends epoxy priming the old gelcoat and exposed polyester. When dry a light sanding and wipe down before applying fairing. I'm not an expert but I have heard Holokai's comment about gelcoat over epoxy. If that is what you want to do you need to...

If they are the old “school bus” style blades Napa carries them. Only place I found. Windshield wiper blades. NAPA 60-1870 arm and blade. $9.99. Blade only 60-1805 $5.99. Trico 70-180 may work as well.

It’s generous offer to rewire your boat but not an electricians job. More of an electronic technician job. Are you pulling individual wires or building a harness and pulling it? I would recommend pulling some different color wire so you can document what connects to what. Also a labeling...

I installed a Lewmar ProFish 700 on my 268 Islander. It's installed on top of the anchor rode locker. It works well but you have to be careful not to snug the chain up too tight. I hit the switch the wrong way and busted the hatch up! But besides that warning it works just fine. Other will tell...

Seat came in today. A little later than expected but it's fine. Purchased from Arrigoni Designs in CT. Arrigoni claims upgraded materials and Includes a sturdy slide base - vs West and Fisheries Supply. First pass tried with seat all the way back on original short seat base. The seat has more...

I have the mold too. I'm not a fan of using a bleach smelling product. Anyone find something that works and doesn't have that bleach smell?

AwlGrip has a AwlFair epoxy faring compound that is a 1:1 pre-thickened in both a regular and slow set. Easy to mix and use with a putty knife on a board. I used it for all my hardtop edge repairs and other fill areas. Cures overnight into a sandable surface. SkunkBoat's recommendation above is...

I posted this for someone looking for a hardtop but it applies to your hatches too. A old hardtop may not be bargain. My hardtop had to be totally refinished last year. 25 years old. I did it myself but if I had to pay someone it would have been cheaper to have a new one built. All my...

Same here. But didn't come off easy, hacked the gel coat up and had to be repaired. People swear by that wheel. I was repainting and left stripe off. I like it much better.

I guess at that age rewiring is necessary. It's 15 years older than mine which is 25 years old now. I was fortunate that the previous owners did not hack the wiring or drill holes everywhere. Use quality composers, lots of shrink tubing and good wire. Sherico is where I buy most of my...
