Brian, just bumped into this thread. Looks good and love the access plate idea! Much better than cutting the hatch! Couple of questions..... Did you use any type of backing plate for the hatch under the windlass? How did you screw down the hatch? Are those through bolted with nylon locknuts...

My GPS is short mounted on I think a 2 or 3" lift and radar is flush mounted and no issues so far. Rule of thumb is VHF's should be min, 3' from any other type antennae. Board Quota reached for posting pic, so here is a link on same subject on THT where I posted some pics...

Fishman, I use oversized 1/4" Alum. Backing Plates for almost everything where possible. Will be ordering a large piece for the windlass after I take some measurements. ocnslr, thanks for the links! I think the 1000 model will pull too many amps for existing wiring that Grady installed so...

Thanks BobP! With all the reading and discussing over the last year on this subject, many have convinced me the right anchor to use is the Lewmar 22# delta for the type of fishing I will be doing. I Was hoping to find out more info from anyone with experience on 22# delta and how it works with...

Good point, so you were able to find just a larger roller and change out existing one? How hard to find a roller with same width but larger diameter? I was thinking that the weight/stress of heavy 22# anchor might be too much for the single roller or bolt that is holding the roller, but maybe...

Hey folks, been a while and been very busy working or fishing, so getting near time to look at the windlass project maybe next month for sure. One open question I have left as I have been studying all the variables is about if the existing pulpit roller...original one from Grady pulpit can...

Hi NikM820, been a while now, how do you like the 4 blades? I am thinking that I might get same results as you in regards to keeping on plane at lower rpm/speed on a rough day and also maybe improving that jump on plane transition during a high speed trolling effort where it goes from 10 to...

Great to hear it worked! On that leak, how can water leak into the tank? I have to pump water into head manually with open seacock valve. Is your setup different? I can assume though, if the head valve is faulty, it could allow water to come into toilet, but even then, you have to pump from...

Grab a hammer and tap on the 1/4-20 nuts on top of the pump cover plate. I tapped on each one several times, not too hard, but firm enough to give it a slight jolt. Then tried the button and it worked. I keep pushing the motor button each time on board and it is still free and working....so far...

Was just wondering if replacement was easy enough or complicated. I dont like the permanent spots, but likely would get spots on new glass after a few years. Mine has tempered glass on sides and front.

I had front bunks off for carpet repair so opened all valves. When I pump water from head, it would build pressure and not exit through the large thru hull. Scratching my head on this fitting@!?

Watching results here. If frames are good, is glass replacement hard?

Should be very nice. They just keep getting better.

Ok, got it now. I was thinking wrong here. Was thinking the new pump was going to pull from the 3/4" output from old pump. That one gets plugged off and the external pump will go to pumpout fitting with valve. Makes sense. Dunno what I was thinking here. Thanks for the pics. Make good sense...

Great! Thanks guys! Smaller pump than what I imagined. Why I was not picking it up in the pics. So it does pull stuff through ok with existing internal pump? Will take a look at the jabsco's.

Just call a and J they will tell you what they use. I just had mine done with sunbrella and strataglass. It turned around out great.

I see a valve but where is the external pump? What type of pumps are there?

Old as dirt post, but see no one ever posted any pics of the external pumps? Had mine for just over a year and never an issue until last weekend when it blew fuse. Got new fuse, then push button and no motor noise, so it is jambed I think. Pulled floor panel over tank/pump and tapped on the...

I replaced my original filter heads with SS and the racor 2 microns and change every 50 hours. Check out SIM YAMAHA's site for the setup. He has the whole package and they turned out very nice. S3220SUL with clear bowl and SS head to replace the old rusty ones. Replaced all fuel lines last...

I used a piece of 1/4" aluminum plate for mine and it will work out fine. Got a large plate last year from speedymetals.com for making backing plates, so cut a long narrow piece to fit when I removed the lifting eye and bracket assy. in prep for installation of a windlass later this year.
