Where in ENC are you?

Had some beers and Bluefin with my mechanic the other day and I asked him about this technology. They are a dealer and have installed a few with great feedback. Anyone on here have real world experience running one of these systems. Not the gyro system, the interceptor blade types. Thinking they...

Seems like too much weight back there. Probably designed for 2x 200 2 stokes at less than 500lb each vs 2x225 Hondas at 630 each. Check the thermostat in the block for corrosion and the mid shaft bearings.

So, I was at a tournament party a few days ago. My neighbor is looking for a tank fabricator for 2 saddle tanks for his 25 SeaVee inboard. I asked a well known Carolina custom builder who he might suggest. He said he’s switched to Mueller plastic tanks on all his builds and refits. He builds...

Where are you in NC?

I just sent my old ones to Lynn at A&J Canvas in NC. She’s making me new ones at a good price and supposedly a 2 week turnaround. I will report back once I get them/install them. Wanted white but wife wanted blue.

Skunk- as usual Thanks for the spot on 265 info. I would love a solid front that I could pin the center back. Where did you mount the pins to pin it to? Actually, I’d like to be able to pin my sides and back as well, wouldn’t they interfere with the life jacket storage? Any pics of them pinned...

2001. Looking for advice. Also- the name of the outfit in NC that does the Grady White OEM work. TIA!

I actually got a nice set of 22’ Lee’s poles off a 25 Carolina Classic with spreaders but don’t like the way the spreader wire hits the hardtop edge. I could fab some extensions for those hardtop hooks , though. Also gonna fab some backing plates for the wishbone bolts under the bolsters. Anyone...

I’m thinking about replacing my Stock original Lee’s poles. Looks like they’re 18’. Lees has 18.5, 19.5, or 22.5. Anyone running any longer than stock poles into the stock wishbone bases? What size would you go with? TIA

I had my floor up to replace the hoses on my 01 and it looked pretty straightforward.

I did it this way with 2 motor hoists. FYI- make sure those hoists are holding pressure. We left them hanging overnight as we ran out of daylight and the next morning one has slowly lost pressure and my starboard motor was pretty much hanging by the control cables. other than that, easy Peezy.

Just wondering why you would want to do this, not sure it’s necessary. There was one for sale awhile back that had 300 Suzuki’s, no bracket

Thanks so much for this info!

Pretty interesting he turns the wheel a bit then leaves it. I have to back out of my lift, then spin it in a very narrow creek, maybe 35 wide. Creek faces due North, and a hard south on my stern is a bear, been in the weeds a few times

That looks awesome, you wouldn’t have your measurements or the Birdsall model # by chance? Thanks for posting this!

I know, but I’m thinking something easily removable so I could still put the tailgate down or remove it when going offshore. I rarely put the tailgate down. Someone did it on as I saw a picture but can’t find it

Just back from the boat show with the family. All my girls are loving those folding rear seats on similar-sized boats like the Albie 27DC’s set up. Anyone done this? I’d love to have a removable option so I can take it out when I’m fishing. FWIW we’ve tried the bean bag route and the cockpit...

What Skunk said

I get that the throttle friction is adjustable, but that short “throw” messed me up as well, just an old dumb guy, I guess. But then I found out you can sync them when running, which is hard to do and keep it there with the mechanicals . IIRC the black mechanicals were about 2k ish more than the...
