Well, just because how I am wired...had to pull the Groco macerator. I was curious on several accounts. 1. What is condition of tank after 21 years? 2. Removal of pump would give me a a little more volume. 3. Is seal in good shape? 4. Are any parts of the old original Groco going to fall into...

A pic would help us understand the proposed area you need to cut to access. Can you get behind where you think and see if there are any obstacles or irregular areas that would cause you issue? If not, then I would just cut the hole and access it, the put in a new deck plate. Not sure 4" would be...

Agree Dan, I would think someone on here has already done this once and can share where to open it up.

Good to know and worth digging in for the assurance. The Kodiaks' are great if all SS. The new G5 Tie Downs are SS as well and mine are now into their 3rd year on the first axle and 2nd year on the 2nd axle and are still in great shape. Just ask them which version of brakes they will provide...

I had built some shelving in the rear area next to existing batteries to extend the shelf over the bilge area and installed larger group 29's on the port side for the starting batteries (formerly Group 24's) and then added 2 new house batteries tied together as one large house on the starboard...

Replaced all my Thru Hulls and Hoses and the 90 Degree drain fitting as well. For me, was pretty easy to get to on the older sailfish model design. Just removed the back panel that goes across the entire back and everything was accessible. The hoses were not that bad of shape for their age, but...

Assuming by your comment checking the pickup means checking the anti backflow valve in the pickup line. The fitting that screws directy into the tank has a spring and ball. I had one on my other boat that got restricted and caused the issue for me. In that case, I removed the ball and spring...

Good idea, I can pull them around to the side easily enough. So if the middle one alone is not enough, then I can try the two outside ones. I don't think I need all 3 for sure. But sea trials will tell the story. Still need to make a filler to keep them from slamming up and down when running in...

I wonder when they changed to Beckson or if they maybe used different companies. My originals were identical to the replacements from Tempress other than the popout plate was better re-inforced than the original. I looked at the Becksons and they were slightly different and dimensions were as...

Zimm, I just installed the mariners led's and they are awesome!

yeah so it seems like I came pretty close just based on my Estimations. the wait is too close for comfort so getting a bigger trailer is important..Maybe consider r a different trailer brand. Road king is popular around NC area. That is what came with mine and I am very happy with it. It is well...

Oh yeah, one other thing that was bugging me...I cut out the glassed in wooden pad that the bilge pump was mounted on. It was always oozing out a smelly black water. So figured the wood used had gotten wet and rotted. I epoxied in a new pad with PVC board, covered with 1708 Biaxial Glass and...

Figured would give a update. Finished my dual pump install. Added ProBlaster Extreme for wash down. Ran dual hoses from thru hull/seacock valve to a Groco filter then one line to ProBlaster and other one to the Shurhold Bait Master pump I was using for dual purpose before. I also connected a...

If you are talking about the flat seal that goes around the flange, just use silicone. For the ORing, you can get any size made up at a local hardware store. They size the diameter, and cut to length, then super glue it together. Will not pull apart. I replaced mine with same exact as original...

Consider the weight yourself and not by what the dealers are saying. Just a quick thought and lookup for your model with options, and I have not included electronics or any other misc. stuff you would add like life jackets, or other stuff that adds up to some pounds, I come up with the following...

Sweet! I love these models!

Dale, take the time to contact A&J Canvas. I took my boat to them last year and they redid the curtains and installed for me, but they can take any existing curtains and remake a new set. If they still have the original template from that model, they can just make them and ship them to you...

I truely think that with no bungees, even at the angle, the impact to some waves would toss them out. I have had rods come out of the rocket launchers from the hardtop before depending upon the way the boat takes the waves. The bungees literally take 1 second to remove and replace. Also, and...

gw204, that is a good point also. I considered that, but since I made the box longer (or taller) and it has more weight due to lead jigs, etc, I was afraid the PVC would not hold up well enough and did not want the box sticking out into the cabin when folded down. Would not be much, but a little...

Thanks.I have to say this was a fun project. I do like your idea on one motion to secure the Bungees. I did toy around with multiple types Of bungee cords,and found that the ball bungees seemed to secure better then a single Bungie. I have secured each ball Bungie at the bottom with stainless...
