    Really cold storage?

    The spec for temp is 5 F to 131f . I assume that is the operating temperature range. The 'storage' range most likely is much wider.

    Yamaha wire bundle won’t go in rigging tube

    If the old cables came out, the new ones should fit. Did you pull line ( small rope) through the rigging tube? Which end of the cables are you starting with?

    Really cold storage?

    Don't do the lightbulb thing. It's asking for trouble. Keep the batteries charged.

    registration In New jersey.

    If you have both a PA and a NJ residence, one will be your primary. That probably would be PA and that is the state that you would register the boat. Same goes for a trailer if one is used. If you spend more than a set number of days in NJ and I think that number is like half a year, then NJ...

    Upholstery Replacement

    I suspect that there is more competition in FL than here in NYC. That can help keep prices down a bit. Good luck, let us know how things work out.

    Upholstery Replacement

    Price are very good at least with respect to prices in my area (NY) but be certain what you are getting. If your current bolsters use pleated vinyl, will the replacements also use the pleated? Will the same foam be used or something different. If you have welting, is that included in the...

    What to use AGM or wet cell batteries on a Yamaha 225 ox66

    That's useful info. Seven seasons is a good life span. On my sold 208. my lead acids would also get 7 seasons and after the first few years, stopped removing the batteries for the winter. I would make sure they were fully charger before layup and then disconnect the negatives. If the batteries...

    2005 Bimini 306 trim tab spray

    Does that area spray all the time or only at certain tab settings? If I understand you correctly, the tabs rest in pockets. Something in that specific pocket could cause spray, for example growth on the pocket surface, a piece of debris caught on the tab or actuator, etc. Also look for dings or...

    OX66 charging second battery

    As has always been the recommendation for parallel battery banks, it is important that the same type, model and age batteries be paired together. Not only is the voltage of the batteries important but more so is the internal resistance/impedance of the batteries. That parameter can differ for...

    What to use AGM or wet cell batteries on a Yamaha 225 ox66

    If I understood the video correctly, the initial charge voltage on the SX motors is higher than the max spec for AGM. That overcharging kind of cooks the battery and can lead to a shorter life span. It seems like the motors will be OK, it's just that the agms will age faster.

    Boat Pricing

    The list price in 2019 may not be relevant today. The prices of used boats went up as the prices of new boats went up due primarily to great demand and product shortages during Covid. The average price for a new boat last years was reported to be up 40% from pre pandemic pricing. As the saying...

    What to use AGM or wet cell batteries on a Yamaha 225 ox66

    I don't know the reason for the warning but it would worry me to try the AGMs. The charging profiles for AGMs are different than flooded cells and that may be the issue. I will see what if I can find an explanation.

    Bilge B Dry - SeaFlo Dry Bilge

    I was not familiar with this type of system so I did some research on the Seaflo Dry Bilge product. Being the devil's advocate as I tend to be, I have reservations about this type of product when run in the automatic mode. My concerns may not apply to your case specifically if you have a battery...

    Anchor light

    I took that to mean a 23 foot seafarer not a 2023:) There would be no warranty for the first case. In addition it the owner lost it, it would be his or hers liability. The complication with the windshield mounted light is that you can not put the Bimini down if the light pole is installed nor...
