Just pulled my tanks, main and aux. Was not too bad actually to pull them. Just get all the fuel out. I removed the sending unit and used a 50' of 3/8" clear vinyl hose and siphoned into my cars/trucks. I can ensure you, that if aux. tank is pitted through, the main tank is right near it. My...

Mine are absolutely awsome power for the 25 sportbridge! Take off is neck jerking so you have to hold on. Even midrange if you punch it, it will throw you back. I think they would be great on the 272! I like the sound. Not too loud and just purr all the time. Top speed wound out and trimmed is...

Hi folks, been busy for a while. Winterized boat so now time to get busy with some maintenance. As I mentioned earlier, I have all the part numbers from Grady for the Thru Hull replacements. I was able to convert all of them to an equivalent Attwood with help from Attwood's excellent customer...

I run out about 60 miles, troll all day and run back and usually burn around 90 gallons. Twin 200 HPDI's, so that is not too bad. But if old motors, I am sure it would have been a lot more fuel. Good to have a second backup tank in case one has fuel delivery issue either with bad fuel or lines...

Was really trying to find out if the PVC had to be painted or not. Assume it might already have UV inhibitors in it since it is for exterior use I think. I used PVC boards for a spacer to lower my rocket launchers to underneath the hardtop. I think I used 3 layers and PVC glued them. Left them...

I am very interested in this one also as I am planning on tank removal, inpsection and replacement of all hoses. On my previous boat, I removed the fuel tank of 20 years. It had some deep pitting where the rubber straps were. I cleaned the tank, sanded it thoroughly, used Marine Tex, epoxy...

ccscorpion200, so you are not having any warping issues from the heat or sun? If not, then sounds like the PVC is more heat stable than the starboard and might be the way to go. I think it only comes in white, so no need to paint if one wants it to stay white. What color did you paint it...

DaleH, I am getting ready to replace all my thru hulls this winter. Grady sent me all the part numbers and have not yet made it to the dealer to find out how much they will cost. Price BritestarBoston stated does not sound too bad, but not sure how many thru hulls that was for the rounded...

Just saw this post. Was planning on replacing my trim this winter with starboard, so glad I found this first. Have been using the penetrol with some success. Definately looks better for a while, but not permanent. I wonder if the PVC board will work. Guess I could get a small piece of trim and...

Fishtales in on the ball here! Thanks for the excellent details. I feel like I was just watching you do your installation! :D Kiddin' aside, detail is great and OCNSLR, I would have forgetten about the eisenglass curtains. Was thinking there was room between the very outside edge and before...

Fishtales, you give me the vote of confidence here and great details. For the insulators, what did you use? Are these already available for the size bolts? I just haven't seen any sleeves like this. Are they nylon, plastic or aluminum? Will have to check on the wedges and backing plates from...

Yeah, a pic is worth a thousand on this spread for sure. The idea of having some blank open rod holders is one of my current issues. When fighting a fish and need to move some rods out of the way, all my rod holders in quick reach are full. So looking for a solution on that as well. Thinking...

Hi Folks, I know we discussed this a while back, but didn't get a lot of feedback. I was looking through some pics in the gallery trying to get some ideas on a custom rod holder. Considering the V-Lock and custom design but also noticed the outriggers mount on NO REGRETS boat that is seems that...

Thanks Upgrady. So in trolling position, out to the side to give more spread. Also, do you need to swing them forward in order to reach the line? I assume if needed, it is easy to do this. Thanks for the Pic Hangman.....assume these are wired up to plug in under gunnel for ability to remove...

Nice Pic! So the boom extends to over the transom. No need to swivel it around the side. I guess you can just put a double snap swivel on the line with a rubber band and it will slide down to the ball allowing one to keep ball down and not retrieve unless needed due to a big fish. I wonder how...

I wonder what the negatives are for gimbal /rod holder vs bracket mounts. Only negative I can think of is if the strength of the rod holder will support the downrigger and stress from the ball?

I am interested as well. Never had or used downriggers before. Not sure how you work them in regards to angle of boom over side or over back of transom, ect. Pics would explain a lot. Also, for retrieval, how to ensure ball does not swing into motor or side of boat. Just can't seem to get the...

I like this rig. Going to do this for mine this winter. http://seastriper.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20262

I have heard this is a decent price. Have heard some cost more an others less. I am sure that is of course due to types of materials and different labor but on average, it seems average. I have no idea what the materials are that they use. It is same as what the Grady's get at the factory. The...
