As mentioned, the rod and bracket are part of the lifting ring gear. The forward ring (winching u-bolt) on the upper keel is not the lifting ring. That would be a round eye on the top of the forward gunnel or pulpit. If the lifting eye is not needed, the winch ring as I call it was just...

Yes, you need to loosen the cap. It may be difficult and you may need to hold the capstan. Be very careful. When the cap is loose the anchor will at some point deploy very quickly. Keep your fingers clear

If it has the 8 point socket on the cap, you should be able to loosen the capstan and it will free spin. You need a special wrench. Sometimes a square drive breaker bar (1/2 inch I think) will fit the 8 point socket.

Has this gauge always acted the same or is this something new. These gauges are notoriously inaccurate mostly due to the angle of the hull and the height of the sender off of the tank bottom. Depending on hull angle as when getting on plane to flat at sea, the number of bars displayed can differ...

To test if this is the case, next time the gauge reads full and you think it shouldn't, pop the rear access cover where the tank sender is and disconnect the pink wire. Your gauge should then read zero (after a few seconds).

Teleflex is now Seastar. The part number is the same.That said, if you have the Big-T type of helm, and you have a newer cable, there is a possibility that the existing cable won't fit the new box. I am not sure but if you just changed the cable, keeping the BigT box, you need an adapter to use...

How easy or hard it is to reterminate the cable depends to an extent on the thickness of the coax. The more common gauge can be reterminated generally but you need the appropriate connector and it should be new. Some are crimped only, some are a combo of solder and crimp and some are fully...

Got it. It looked more serious at first glance. FYI, Marinetex is tintable if you can find the tints.

Am I seeing the core or a hollow space on the right side of the gash?

Are you looking to install a bench seat that was never there or replace/repair an existing one? If you want to install a new one, contact a Grady dealer and see if it is still available or if a newer model year will fit.. Be sitting when you get a price:)

Glad I could help

I would think that as long as the MFDs and AP use the same option, things either option will work. Personally, I use my compass all the time since it helps to have the MFD set to magnetic north so that it aggress with the compass. Although my brain says it is better to use north up from a...

That meter is intended for moisture readings for porous construction materials and not for FRP (fiberglass reinforced panel) with gelcoat You will not get meaningful absolute true readings but may be able to detect differences. in general since the hull has been out of the water since last...

And you will have an extra 1 to 1/12 inches of standing water:)

That may not be just an epoxy fix. It depends on the depth and width of the damage. Anything wide than about 1/4 inch should be patched and not just filled. Since the glass fibers are exposed, the repair would normally include grinding a much wider area ( the general rule is 5-10 times the...

Thanks for the follow up. I would not have guessed premature failure on multiple coils. One to add to my debugging list:)

It would help to know what model head you have and perhaps you will be able to find it on the site. Jabsco is a division of Xylem. here is the link to their product catalog, a good place to start...

The latest issue of Boating magazine has a good summary of a few less expensive shade options.

There is something like that. Check out the Youtube channel for Born Again Boating. They do a lot of 'restorations', not total do overs, mostly just the things that are needed to make an older boat dependable and usable. That includes simple fixes all the way to transom replacements. That site...
