    Balsa or no Balsa?

    Below the waterline is solid fiberglass. if you open some panels you can see where the cored sides begin well above the waterline.

    Seems you would want to finish the gelcoat before you hang the motors. Just my two cents!

    You need to measure the distance between the clamps that hold the blade on the underside of the arm.

    replacement wiper blades

    My 2007 330 has blades that require the Narrow (0.25”) refills. I found that Anco N-22R is a bit long maybe 2 inches but works fine. They are very cheap online. mine appear to be identical to the ones pictured above. The need is for a quarter inch wide refill that slides in and locks on one end...

    Covering Dash Cutouts

    If you went with the fusion wireless remote you could mount it on a piece of circular starboard that covers a hole with Velcro as a place to put your wireless remote.

    Seafarer Throttle Problem

    I don’t know the specifics of that engine but if the throttle cables all look good and they move the butterfly then you may have a fuel or air problem. Possibly a limp mode to protect the engine from some malfunction. Or dirty fuel or some other reason that the engine will not accelerate past...

    2004 Marlin Autopilot suggestions

    You will only need a single auto pilot pump and several brands of auto pilot course computers will communicate with your MFD. You don’t necessarily need a Simrad auto pilot, there are standard NMEA0183 and NMEA 2K communication links that you can use and will work nicely with your MFD. Highly...

    New 2019 engine on a 2023 GW?

    When you say the warning manager has the 2019 data, is that inside the CL7 ? I believe that information is not stored in the engine ECM but in the software associated with your display. If that is the case your display may have been previously used or was not cleared from previous engine. I...

    2003 265 Express Raymarine Radar and Fishfinder

    I am surprised that transducer is not compatible with a variety of sonar boxes.. We need to know what your MFD model and type is. Most of the newer sonars are integral in the MFD. And they can drive a variety of transducers. You can drive a non-chirp old transducer although it will not be as...

    Steam from new engine...

    This is very common depending on the ambient atmosphere. The heated vapor coming out of the exhaust at the top of the engine is extremely high humidity, especially at idle, and when the temperature is lowered as it hits the outside air it condenses and forms fog (steam). I noted that it happened...

    Washdown

    Could be as simple as having a lot of air in your system. Mine does that when it hasn’t been used for a while and if you let it continue to pump air it will eventually start running water again. Give it at least a minute of no water coming out before you do anything. Also listen to the pump if...

    New Suzukis

    Use the opportunity to look at closely, inspect and reseal if necessary your transom. Replace bang plate with vinyl or fix whatever needs to be done while you have the motors off.

    Marine Air Condition, cabin mate 2000

    My 2007 is not a cabin mate. However it has a built-in diagnostic test. Before you do anything major check your owners manual and see if yours might have built-in diagnostics as well. Also be aware that the water pump does not always run. Mine only runs intermittently when required in cooler...

    SS Deck Chairs

    The stainless are quite a bit heavier but probably less corrosion prone. I was not particularly happy with the West Marine brand chairs. The staples in the upholstery rusted immediately. Had to redo that. I think there are only a few manufacturers but may be labeled differently though. Years ago...

    Garmin Navionics+ on GPSMAP chartplotters.

    Remember guys, with the exception of sonar data generated and shared by users through the Active Captain App, the sounding data and detail is not new stuff. I suspect it is computer generated based on hydrographic surveys and sometimes near ancient sounding data and therefore not real. Most...

    Trim Indicator on Yamaha Gauge

    I'd check the part # to insure it is the correct part. I use Simyamaha often for Yamaha parts and find Andy very helpful. Let me know for sure. I did get your message. Bill

    Trim Indicator on Yamaha Gauge

    Same as the one I have. Mine is a – 11 and the current version is – 12 I believe. If you need one I can ship this one to you for $75 plus shipping. It does have some value as a back up for me. My F 300s are new but, you never know! You will see what I mean about the long Phillips screwdriver...
