    Cockpit Access Door Mods

    Lazarette is the proper term, I believe, but Aft Bilge would be understood by evryone. The new Grady 330 appears to have an overboard drainage channel and a hinged hatch like a professional boat builder would put on their boats.... ;) You can't do that. IMO you should be able to get both...

    Steering slow to engage

    I hope Pipehunter the OP made some progress. I got a new HC5345-3 cylinder from the West Marine on Sunday for 5x points back. Installed today and working great.

    Steering slow to engage

    NOT OF TOPIC AT ALL!.....THANKS!. interesting...that was one of the things I thought it could be. The cylinder is the oldest part of the system. Probably original. But doesn't leak and has no pitting on rods. That be about right cuz I just ordered a seal kit for it just for shitzngiggles since...

    Steering slow to engage

    I started having a similar issue the end of last season. Of course, I did nothing over the winter... :rolleyes: So anyways...maybe this will help you...or maybe you will help me.... I do not have any leak. If anything, it is overfilled from me thinking it must need fluid. When I remove the cap...

    battery

    Get the Grady manual for your year/model. There will be a diagram of the original battery and switch connections and "Accessories" circiut breaker If no one has changed anything, that will be what you need to do.

    Clearly I know nothing about wiring

    "Black is + in AC wiring..." o_O come on Dennis, think about that statement! Black is "Hot" not "+", there is no "+" Yellow has always been the "correct" Negative when there is a mix of AC and DC wiring on the vessel. That is to avoid confusion of Black wires. I think the black & white...

    Clearly I know nothing about wiring

    LED fixtures usually come with a black and red. Sometimes its a black and white and for some reason the Black is the positive.

    Clearly I know nothing about wiring

    yep If it was an LED bulb it would matter. 50/50 chance you get it right the first time.... If you use an LED replacement Festoon bulb in that fixture then if it doesn't work, turn the bulb upside down. Amazes me that Perko and Attwood don't make LED versions of their old fixtures. Same...

    Head Pump Out

    I am literally elbows deep, and in pain, in rigging in a Jabsco macerator and Jabsco Y valve using existing tank. I will post pix when done. I am mounting things differently than Hookup. Previously I removed the bad Groco pump and closed it back up for just using a pumpout station. See...
