What is really strange is both original 1992 motors were still working. The former owner had one of the wires on the starboard side unplugged since the motor would always run. So, based on what some were saying, it was likely the park feature was shot. So, finally found this MRV model that...

Sorry to resurrect such an old post, but find this information valuable when researching. I just had to replace one wiper motor. Both original 1992 motors but marineco was not able to cross reference the part numbers. Went to West Marine and they had several of the same type on the shelf and...

seasick, I took your idea on the latex surgical tubing. I also picked up some of the clear vinyl tubing, size to allow a tight fit slipping the latex tubing over it. Just cut a short piece of the clear tubing and using a dull pocket knife, was able to slide up inside the latex tubing and pinch...

Curmudgeon, good choice on the bathroom tub and tile silicone II. It went great and looks perfect. I really liked the flow characteristics of this caulk. It was easy to work with and when pulling the tape, it really did not leave any tape lines. It seemed to flow some before setting up. It dries...

Roger that! Definately different.

Don't know if you pulled the plug on this yet or not, but I just picked up this one: http://www.boatfix.com/shop3/store/view ... duct=26586 and think it is very nice. Price not too bad either from boatfix.

I just replaced my original leaky one with this one from boatfix.com: http://www.boatfix.com/shop3/store/view ... duct=26586. Very nice design and easy to turn and see the flow with the arrows. I found the original one to be confusing on how to know which way the water was to flow. All I had...

Not a bad spot. I have seen some mounted like this. My VHF is mounted in my overhead radio box so that left room in the helm box. You can also get a stereo enclosure that is water resistant to allow mounting somewhere near the helm if it makes it more convenient. Or, you can get a stereo with a...

The stereo is in the dash/helm box just in front of the steering wheel. The cables run down just under the helm and go down into the hull ,then snaked them back to the fishbox. Was not a really hard run to do. When you remove the fishbox port covers, you could see forward up the side of the...

Yeah, I hear ya. That speaker grill on those Sony's is quite strong. Maybe I will be ok. Usually the speakers don't last forever anyhow, so if they punch one out, I will punch them out and then get a new one. :-| Those ports were very old and sun burnt, so figured cut these and try them out...

Just took this one while out in the boat today. Hope it shows up here.

I just took the fish box deck plates off, cut a circle in them to fit the speaker, secured what small ring was left over with a couple of screws so they would not just pop off and remounted. No need for making a starboard ring. I used my Dremel flush cut tool and it was very easy to cut the...

Ok, that is good enough for me. Will go get some. :D

I contacted Grady and they told me to contact these folks and ask for Bobby: A & J Canvas 2450 Streets Ferry Rd Vanceboro,NC 28586 P:252-244-1509 They said that these are the folks they use to make their canvas for the Grady's. I called them for my '92 Sailfish Sportbridge and they called...

That is good to know. I will try and return the 4200 expensive stuff and just use bathroom tub and tile caulk in white since it is supposed to help with mildew. I just thought there would be something better as it does not last long in the bathtub/shower in the house without mildew stains in...

gw204, a couple of questions I might have overlooked or misunderstood. 1. What did you use to make the texture? Was it an already available gel-coat that is built in? I haven't found that so far if it is. 2. I used a conventional spray gun to spray my gelcoat with wax to coat my older boat...

Ah, got it. Makes sense now. I was wondering where the air goes if there is air in the line and you squeeze the bulb or use the electric primers. Since it is not carb system, there has to be someplace for the air to escape. So assume that would happen in the VST since I saw a pic of that having...

Ok, I was able to get the new SS filter heads and 10 microns installed. I prefilled the filters and all looks very good. What a difference. My old one's were really nasty. I took the cover off motors and used the electric primers and did not notice any air bubbles in the clear fuel tank on the...

Thanks BobP, the problem I have here is that there are no Primer bulbs on my boat. It appears that the primer is electical only. So the only thing I know to do here is to prefill the filter, then prime up and start the engine. One post recommended that I run the motors first to get fuel into...
