    Bow Light mounted under pulpit?

    Takes about 30 seconds to find it on Amazon for less than a third of the price. Another 30 seconds and you can probably find white, if not from the same vendor. https://www.amazon.com/HERO-LED-WL-SQ-1 ... +led+white

    Thru hull sizes on a 90 226 seafarer

    Look at the hoses connected to them, and see if you can get a size off the hose. Actual hole size might be a quarter inch larger than inside diameter of the fitting, not the hose. If some are cracked, just give a jerk on the hose, and you will know the hole size right quick.

    205 & 225 Freedom no longer on Grady site

    Did the hulls actually change, or just the numbers. Boats always grow, they never shrink.

    There are plenty of other plastics that will serve the same purpose, and have better gluing properties.

    Cockpit Self Bailing Drain Replacement - for 228G

    And, on second look, this is the only one of the 105 that has what appears to be a threaded hose connection, instead of barbed. For whatever reason?

    Cockpit Self Bailing Drain Replacement - for 228G

    Just a suggestion, I have not used. Had not noticed the top mount screws, but after an ebay search, of 105 stainless deck drains, none had the threaded ring on the bottom. Here is a very low profile Gemlux: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gemlux-89522-Lo ... Ls&vxp=mtr

    Fixing rusty balljoint on end of seacock pushrod

    While you're down there attaching new ends to those handles, I recommend replacing the drain plug in your seacocks with a grease fitting, to keep those moving easily. Pump the grease in with the valve closed, or it will go into your system.

    Need help with handling a Grady White 265

    If you don't run it over 16mph, it must be a new to you boat. Are you sure you know what the tabs are doing? It sounds like you may be running with one down, either operator error, or malfunction. Visually inspect them on the trailer, or at the dock, while someone else operates the switches to...

    help with docking my 208

    If you have a stern piling, run a line from it to a point on the dock in front of your boat, so that you have a foot or so of clearance at the nearest point of the bow and the line. That gives you a Vee shaped slip to practice in, and takes the neighbors boat out of play. Also with a stern...

    help with docking my 208

    Picture of your slip? Floating docks, or fixed docks? Piling or no piling between the stern of your boat and your neighbor? Tide swing in feet?

    Working in a tight spot, I find it simpler to use a pump with a built in float or sensor than trying to do separate.

    Floor panels on Tournament 22

    Yeah, GW told me the original ply was in little pieces, which doesn't make sense to me. It's not like they were using slices of end grain wood.

    2WD or AWD for tow vehicle

    I am on my third Suburban, with over 200K on each in NC. I bet that I don't have 10 miles total in 4wd, and I have never used it on a boat ramp, lake or coastal, and I have owned boats for 30 years.

    Floor panels on Tournament 22

    Thanks for the reply. Do you know what thickness plywood was used for the core on the rebuild? GW told me that marine plywood was not produced until 1997, which surprised me, and all their boats after 1997 had it. Mine is a '93.
