Depends on your use case. If you can use it as-is go for it. Or use it for now and decide what you want. I wouldn't put any money into it though. Better off with new tech. Chartplotter, depth sounder, transducer types, radar, etc. Garmin EchoMap series of combo units are good value. Garmin...

Boat back together. Ready for Key's trip mid-January. Next year projects: New enclosure. Topside and cockpit re-paint. New non-skid. New rub rail. Fuel tanks and hoses. Lots of small projects I'll work on while in Florida.

No offense taken on the crickets. This is the start of my season while everyone else is winding down. I see it every year. It really is sad. I'm generally a "don't lock your doors" type of person. I leave my keys in my car and my boat. But that is changing. I have been reading some of the South...

Sorry I mis-understood what you are using starboard for. Should work fine. I have used Starboard to replace a few melamine panels that got water damaged. Came out great.

The motion detector would be a good choice on the dock. So far what I have seen were 120VAC with bluetooth. Maybe I can find a 12VDC. I have heard good things about the Ring products too. I could put lighted detectors on the boat and alerted of activity while traveling. This would allow active...

Don't use Starboard. It's not structural and doesn't adhere with epoxy. Use Coosa board or marine plywood and glass it in. Done right done once!

I want to know if the boat has moved. Coastal track is ok. 4G Lite GPS is OK. No offshore coverage but that works for me. If my boat is that far off it's gone! AIS transmitters are great for tracking movement but are not designed as alarms. No fence and no external sensing. Besides it's easier...

I did see that my Garmin units can be protected with a 6-digit pin Screen Lock Code. Without the code unit operates in a reduced capability mode. The code is not re-settable even by Garmin Support. https://support.garmin.com/en-US/marine/faq/g7jAqFuiMv5w2ik4IgHPA6/ Other units can be nailed...

I'll look but the motors are '06's without electronic controls. A hidden switch may be my only option.

Sorry - Driving by myself last two days. Let me expand this request for information and explain what I'm trying to cover. Every winter for the past 20 years I make a trip from Cape May to the Keys and back. Towing a boat and packed with equipment. I can't make the trip without one overnight...

I'm shopping for a GPS Boat Tracker for my boat. Anyone have experience with these devices? Looking for a recommendation.

Christmas is the season for scammers (unfortunately). I saw this listing below today and red flags lit up. Stealing boats in South Florida for drug running is easy money for these guys. Place an ad like this one and let the owner show you the boat and the location. Come back another day with...

Looks good! It's all a tradeoff - 20/20 vision - 20 feet or 20 knots - whatever you can live with.

I'm not a fan of the Starboard for hatches or lids. I have used it to replace some melamine panels that were melting away. Worked great. Repairing the glass work is harder to do but it is a better answer. Depending on the year (mine included) Hardtop and hatches are not normal fiberglass layups...

I have a ‘97 Islander. Hardtop, hatches and lids are all a problem. I have started refinishing mine with epoxy fairing and paint.

'97 268 Islander. Clamshell water pickups to left and right of transducer. Baitwell and saltwater washdown pumps. These are accessible thru the battery compartment and deck plate at the back of the cockpit. Not really sure what a "cutout transom" is. Mine has a Euro transom where the running...

Beckson made the original ones for my GW. They will sell direct. They made them in different colors. Today you are probably dealing with "Faded Grady" - almost white with a slight hint of brown. Get your o-rings from them or if you are willing to experiment McMaster Carr has lots of o-rings. You...

I understand the vertical deck plate. That bulkhead is a structural member. You can cut a hole for your hatch but leave a few inches of bulkhead all around the hatch. You also need to glass the exposed plywood and probably add some reinforcement. I'm not sure that would provide enough access to...

Typical fuel compartments in GW's are closed to prevent leaking fuel tanks from leaking fuel into the bilge. That piping down the center links the forward bilge to the aft bilge. If you are going to repurpose it you need to consider this. That bulkhead may serve to separate the two tank...

I see you are new here. When SEASICK says call Grady he is referring you to the customer service group. https://www.gradywhite.com/contact/
