Hey, we don't get "freebie" fixes all that often! Good deal!

I've never had a tilt style, but have had the "double roller" on a few boats (with plows) and never an issue. This is also the style that comes standard on Sea Ray's with a plow/delta style anchor. This isn't the exact one (this one looks a little cheap), but it's this style...

Doesn't sound like a fuel quality issue - rather a fuel supply issue. The fact that the bulbs get soft show a supply issue upstream of the them. -- Fuel vent could be clogged. Try running with fuel cap off and/or inspect vent. -- Fuel pickup could be clogged. Need to remove to check. --...

It's likely due to the style of anchor roller. A proper anchor roller for the correct style anchor should fall very easily by it's own weight. Before you buy a new anchor roller, or anchor, experiment... how much extra weight would it take to get it to self deploy? Note that you can't...

Nothing new there, either. It's all been done before (according to BNL, anyways). Hook up the straps to bow and stern eyes... lift away. 5 minutes and done.

I don't doubt that type of thing has happened. I've never personally seen it, but of course that doesn't mean it can't happen. However, I think there would have to be extenuating circumstances, you know? Either shoddy build quality or rusted/corroded hardware, for example. I have the lifting...

Just to second what was said above... When preparing gelcoat for bottom paint, it is eithe rdone chemically or mechanically. Chemically etching the surface often changes the color of the gelcoat, so maybe that is what you are seeing. If, however, you are in fact seeing the effects of someone...

You'll be absolutey fine using the two stern eyes and the bow eye (what the trailer attaches to) to lift the boat. Between myself and the others at the marina, we have lifted LITERALLY hundreds, if not thousands, of boats like that. I wouldn't even hesitate for a nano second to do that with a...

Omer, what brand hatch is that? Before I did what I did, I was looking around for a large, pre-match hatch like yours. I was only coming up with heavy duty, aluminum type sealing hatches that were quite expensive.

Just adding some info... -- Look on your gypsy (the thing that the rope/chain wraps around on your windlass). That will tell you the proper size and type of chain to use. Chains come in different link lengths/widths so not all 1/4" chain is the same. For example, the windlass on my Sundancer...

Jump 12V+ to the 'up' relay. Does it work? If so, the issue is upstream of the relay. If it doesn't, the issue is downstream. Check wires/connections.

Amazon to the rescue! :)

I've only ever called them a step pad. Edit... sorry, should have used the word "gunwale" step pad. That should be more specific for you.

Gonna have to be more specific as to where the deck is making the popping sounds. Best thing... take a picture and mark on the picture where it makes the sounds. It could be two pieces of fiberglass flexing against each other (hatch/deck) or it could be delaminated glass. "Fixes" will range...

Assuming the threads are the same...

I can't say for 100%, but that doesn't sound like a normal material to use. Using steel into aluminum will cause corrosion faster than the steel will corrode by itself. Maybe some previous owner didn't know any better. Now I understand why you're having so much trouble. A blow torch to heat...

They step through the range. Meaning, only one indicator light will be on the display panel at a time. The floats can sometimes get stuck. Removal and cleaning should work if that's the case. I've read that some people have good luck with a waste enzyme to unstick things - I think NoFlex may...

Yes, if it's a Vacuflush, then it's made by Dometic/Sealand. These are very common systems so there will be no issues finding info on the net or a manual online. Before you do anything, do like mentioned above and physically verify the level in the tank. Then fill it up till it's at least...

What material is the plug (and what it screws into) made of? A wrench should only chew things up if it's slipping - which means grip tighter. If you're using an actual pipe wrench, that should tighten as you apply force. You can try a bigger wrench - or some leverage... put a pipe over the...

It'll come out. Try tapping it out with a cold chisel (or screwdriver) and a hammer. Tap it in a CCW direction. Don't want to use a bronze plug in aluminum.
