I can totally relate. Moved one battery from starboard to port to join its twin (31M-AGM) in order to balance the kicker. To remove them I have to remove the outside one to access the inside one. Also to make room had to put the trim tab pump high on the inside of the transom and relocate the...

Thanks for all you responses, tough time explaining the marks. No transfer from the dock, more like a aggressive edge of sand paper left a long couple of streaks. Have not attacked it yet, but did try some Goof Off to no avail. Tried to get some pics of it to show here but having a hard time...

Band of Brothers, I have a gelcoat dock scuff on the hull on the bow flare below the rub rail, about 3 ft. long. Have looked at few you tube videos on repair but they all seem a little overkill. The gelcoat is just marred not through the gelcoat or really scratched. Is there a less...

How about photos, price and location to start.

248. I replaced mine with a stainless steel angle I purchased from a local machine shop and cut it to length. Lifted my F200 with a chain hoist,. re- bedded the transom cap with Sikaflex 291. You can get a plastic or is it fibreglass from Grady white. The stainless cap will out out last the...

Found some at Home Depot.....Canada

Yes, I use the "snap on" hose attachments on both main and kicker flush ports as well as on both my flushing muffs. Gets rid of lining up threads especially when doing a wash down with motor tilted full up at berth.

The reason I suggested starboard is because I have left overs from other projects. Yes seasick a 17 year old trailer, but in good shape (aluminium I beam ) The question I proposed re the trailer with corrosion received a much bigger responce the I expected. I guess that is a good thing. Anyway...

Thanks seasick, Talked to a outfit here that sells Highliner trailers and does repairs to boat trailers. On picking up new u-bolts from them they suggested putting an anti static (grounding strap)strap as they said that some of the corrosion on the trailer is from electrolysis, I guess caused...

Thanks guys., will proceed as suggested butyl tape or 4200. Yes it does sound like a better block as Denis mention "caused by water being trapped" would still occur still with starboard.....although are we trying separate the metal or also keep salt water from being trapped agains the aluminium...

Hi guys, looking for little guidance in my trailer project. I have removed the bunks with the mounting brackets attached. Where the brackets were fastened to the I beam aluminium trailer (6000 lb.Road King) has left quite a salt deposit with some corrosion where the dissimilar metals join. I...

Talk to Ken at Prop Gods, he set me up with a Power Tech for a great fit on my 208

Rayvon, Prop is a power tech 14D 15P I have a good rubber seal on the hatch cover also a lock (latch) which hold it down fairly tight. I do get some leakage from hosing down the deck but it just ruins into the bilge. I built in a false removable floor in the hatch with holes to allow any...

A big thanks wahoo for the great photos and story of the trip. For guys like me who live many miles from that beauty part of the planet, it is a real treat to get that kind of coverage. A brief time of living vicariously in your world. I would not trade it for mine but can really appreciate the...

Sue and Doug, talk to us, maybe include some pics of the new yacht. This is a Great forum with many knowledgable and helpful members who do enjoy sharing.

Sdfish, you can see pics of my mods (changes) on the "tips modifications and electronics" area of the forum. Yes I got a little carried away, but retirement can make one invent perceived improvements when on completion question their validity. But o boy are they fun!

captaintony, I removed the 6 inch plates in the splash well and replace them with two 10 inch Armstrong deck plates. Totally waterproof and makes easy access to the happenings in the bilge. Talked with GW first and they assured me it would not compromise the splash well structure or stern of...

Deck hatch with hinges and hatch spring, raw water spray wash down for starboard fish hatch, latched and hinged stern hatch, kicker connect with covered ignition and tt cable tubes and fuel line. Ok some repeats, but I guess a good time put a stop to this.

Moved fuel filter from port stern hatch to deck hatch to make room for 2 AGM batteries, plywood foldable floor in cabin for easier access to "stuff", cluttered helm with auto pilot, "updated" flush mounted chart plotters, radio and dual controls (kicker), bow pulpit for easier anchoring and...

A few more mods: onboard battery charger, NMEA install, raised the skippers chair, 10 inch armstrong deck plates in the splash well, Furuno auto pilot install.
