What does the dog think about the boat's name?

The strength of the stringers is not so much the stringer core but rather the fiberglass outer shell. If you extend the distance that the fiberglass splice extends over the 'good' section of stringer and/or bulkhead, the new stringer can be as strong as the original. There re many videos of...

The need for a contactor (relay) depends to a large extent on the windlass's current draw, especially under max loads. There is a limit to the current that the helm switch can carry and of course without a relay you will have longer high current runs. Some 'equivalent' windlass's call for a 49...

Here's wishing all of you and your families a happy holiday and healthy New Year.

My mistake. The 750s are for hulls 37 to 42 ft. The 600 are correct for the 330. I also won't get to play with mine until spring:(

The last statement is important. There may be other areas of corrosion. Is the leak in the block side or in the thermostat mounting flange?

Based on my research, the 285 does not pound as much s the 275 and in handles rougher seas more comfortably. Some of that better handling is due to the heavier hull and some is due to the wider beam. The 285 is less prone to rolling when seas are abeam and the boat is stopped or moving slowly In...

A few pics

About two years or more ago, I started to toy with the idea of a newer boat. I had the 2001 208 Adventure and another brand 25 ft walk around cabin. The 25 footer had Optimax twin motors, the 208 had the trusty SX 150, OX66. My wife had a few complaints about each model. We both agreed that the...

I will be posting a new thread

I assume you are getting the 750 model. Is that correct?

You guys are the best. I am not going to abandon ship. In addition I feel strongly that my future experiences with the new electronics and mechanicals will generate more questions for you folks to answer.. Perhaps some of you might be interested in the details of long search for a boat and how...

Thanks again.

Thanks to all of you for your support. It means a lot. I mentioned that I sea trialed a boat recently and I ended up buying it. It is shrink wrapped for the winter and I haven't driven it at all. I do climb in through the zipper window every now and then and study whatever I am not familiar...

Dear Gang, I am feeling quite guilty posting on this form. Recently I sold my Grady and non Grady and started a search for a replacement. Bottom line is that I recently did purchase a newer boat but not a Grady. So here I am asking if there is a rule that says that you have to own a Grady to...

I had a sea trial on a 26 foot dual console recently that was equipped with Seakeeper Ride. The seas weren't too bad but the wind was blowing. The system does not go active untill a minimum of 10MPH boat speed. There is a very noticeable change in both rolling and pitching when the system is...

In the third photo of the 60A circuit breaker, can you explain the wiring. The colors are throwing me off At first glance, it looks like the breaker is inline with the black cable, which normally would be a the ground. The red whch I would expect to the positive feed looks like it goes through...

I've seen white LUs that obviously sat in the water and they were very dirty looking

Applying the On and Off to a rag and using that to wipe the motor is probably a safe approach as opposed to a spray bottle.
