Trim tabs and fishfinder don't need to be connected directly. They should really come off a fused bus bar that is feed by the battery switch (assuming you have one) or the "house" feed. There is no need for them to powered all the time.

So... those cracks are not stress cracks. They are full-on cracks. Anything can be repaired - but a more thorough exam needs to take place. Engine removal... aluminum bang cap removal... inspect. Chances are, water has gotten into the transom core and caused it to expand and/or slightly...

You can fill the holes like you would with a car or a boat. Basically, some variation of Bondo (either a putty like PC-11 or even epoxy or poly resin). For the larger holes, I would add some strength to the hole with some glass, though. Sand and smooth it out, then paint it or vinyl wrap it...

Post some pics of the door and the latch - that will help those of us who aren't overly familiar with your boat.

My real world experience with the stuff has been much different than what their numbers say! But "fully cured" is different than what, I think, we are really talking here - referring primarily just to the ability to still be squeezed out.

OK, in that case, I know of a number of people (quite a few, actually) who have had good luck with using uship dot com. Since you have such a light boat AND it's already on a trailer, it opens you up to even more drivers bidding on the job since all they need a half ton truck or SUV. They...

You guys are right about the curing time if it's NOT the fast cure stuff. I've never used the normal stuff as I never understood the reason to wait almost a full week for a full cure. I've only ever used the fast cure formula - and there have been many times (temp seems to play a role) where...

Just an FYI, since you are allowing the 5200 to setup overnight and THEN tightening things up, you're not really going to get the gap to close much. Not a huge deal, but the rubrail likely won't fit as nicely against the hull. Ideally, retighten the screws right away to avoid the gap staying...

Any number of ways you can do this. Anything from a towel to a piece of canvas you make fit custom. Snaps, velcro... all can be used to secure it in place if needed. If you're keeping the enclosures up, it might stay just fine on it's own. You could make a hem and fill the hem at the top and...

Can you post a couple pics of what you currently have?

There is no chance of a larger loop slipping off. Not gonna happen. Not ever. The only way it slips off is if someone doesn't put the loop over both horns after pulling through the center. Now, if you're just quickly lasso'ing the loop over the horns... then yes, but that's user error. ;) I...

NE Ropes is excellent. But I don't think there's really a "best" one - just don't get some super cheap stuff and you'll be good.

You may find it stamped on your existing cables. Otherwise, best thing to do is to pull one out and measure.

Cleat size doesn't really matter in terms of eye size for the line. The eye can be longer with no effect on holding power. Besides, making it too small can only make it more difficult to put on/off. Don't overthink this one :)

I would guess Scandvik, as well. However, if you can't figure it out... your dealer CAN tell you who the manufacturer is (or you could call Grady). They can either get it through their aftermarket sources or at least you then have the info. Your dealer should have offered that info right...

Are you looking for someone to do it for you or are you doing it yourself? 4K TOTAL lbs for a 25' boat? That's very light. It must be basically just a shell? If you're doing it yourself, before we start re-typing what's been said many time, please do a little searching and also tell us more...

In my opinion... "years old" is not a vaild reason to be concerned. Give everything a real good look and sounding - if you find something that looks suspicious, then THAT'S a reason to be concnerned... or at least get it checked out further. You're looking for things that could allow water to...

Verify, don't suspect. Use a hose in a systematic way to verify. But, to answer your question... the leak could be the cap joint or it could be through screws. Remove the rubrail and inspect. If you need to fix the cap joint, use wedges to separate the joint further. Use an oscillating tool...

Having trouble understanding what you're saying. Can you re-read and clarify, along with adding some punctuation?

Yup, like Bill said, just break it out and go at it again. What do you mean by "slow"? It should only take you a couple mintues to break out the core. And... your pulpit is 5" deep... solid???
