No prob..Good luck

The seacock also must be open in addition to the Y valve. It is also possible that the valve is open, your seacock is open, but your macerator impeller is shot, a common maintenance item

First thing is to listen for 'traffic' on the channel that recreational boaters use in your area. In my area, we use 68. Assuming you hear traffic, try requesting a radio check. It helps to state what channel you are on since folks may be ( and should be) monitoring multiple channels. e.g. May...

Don't say I didn't try;) Click on image.

OK, the switch is a SPDT. Lets number the spade lugs on the back of the switch. I will call the three on the left side, lugs 1,2,3 and the three on the right side 4,5,6. In that case, lugs 2 and 5 are the middle two lugs. The actuator leads go to 2 and 5. Ground goes to lug 1 with a jumper to...

You may not have the overboard discharge option. If you do have it, there will be a separate seacock for that function and it will connect to a larger diameter hose than typical for the seacocks for raw water. livewell, head flush water etc.. If you find a msd discharge seacock follow the fatter...

As a general rule, the tank most likely is close to where the pump out fitting is mounted. The vent won't be too far away either. Had you been using the head? If so and the tank was open, I would expect you to have a pretty crappy odor in the boat.

Just to be sure, are you looking to possible change seats and sliders, or pedestals and pedestal bases? If the pedestal and slider is in good shape, you can usually just replace the seat (assuming those bolts come off and that is not a given) If the seats are bad, I recommend changing the seat...

A few questions first: Is there a power relay that the switch connects to or did it connect directly to the actuator motor? How many wires connect to the actuator motor, 2 or more? Is the switch illuminated? Does the console stop automatically when it is fully clossed or fully open ( in other...

The rusty bolts, leaf springs and hangers don't bother me nearly as much as the rust under the center cross member and the rear center light fixture. Galvanized trailers rust from the inside out in many cases and both those low spots are prime areas for rusting since they often pool water...

I am not sure what the Pompanette helm seats runs, maybe $2000? The Todd signature is about $1200. Pompanette seats in general are top notch but there have been issues with armrest coverings. The fold up arms are what limit your choices. Maybe there are other choices but I didn't find many doing...

If the tank is original and you are going to go through all the work to 'clean' it, you should just install a new tank. I am not familiar with that specific hull but some models require the main tank to be removed to allow the aux tank to be removed. If the tank is OK and not leaking, why...

Although not a 100% true comparison, the Tacoma measurement would lead me to suspect that the trailer sat lower in the front and therefore higher in the rear. If that is so, you need rise, not drop on the hitch. The 4+ inch difference between all trucks is a lot.

search for Todd Jupiter Helm Seat. Close to the original seat. Also note that since new model 208 have essentially the same helm dimensions, I would expect that whatever seat Grady uses lately for the 208 would fit older hulls

Does it have to be a ramp? Why not look at a marina with a travel lift and short term slip rental. You could negotiate a deal for both lift/launch and slip.

I would guess that the height of the ball is lower on the new truck when loaded and on flat ground. Just measuring the hitch height without a load isn't accurate since the loaded height will vary based on the spring rating of the tow vehicle and of course the hitch height unloaded. It ma be that...

I would rather say "less expensive" than "cheaper":) There are cheap paints but the quality is suspect. One factor I didn't mention and should have is that some paints when left out of the water for extended periods, my need to be reactivated by hard scrubbing or light sanding. Also some paints...

Service manual or owners manual? What info are you looking to get?

No perfect answer. To an extent, the actual water characteristics ( high growth, barnacles, slime etc) affect choice. So does you boating habits, like frequency of use. Is the boat slipped all year? What kind of paint is on it now. Ask your boating friends who boat where you do, what they have...

You should try to determine what is not working. For example, you could have something as simple as a blown fuse. Perhaps its more than that but check the following. Number 1, when you press the switches for the tabs, do you hear the pump running? Have yo checked that the pump has oil? Is the...
