For me, on more than one occasion a multimeter has shown good voltage or continuity. After banging my head into the wall I eventually discovered (like others here have mentioned) the connections weren't clean enough to carry current. On one particular occasion I would have bet the farm that the...

I'll add this as a great material option. Corrugated plastic. It looks like cardboard, but is plastic. It is used for outdoor signs staked into the ground. Tape would easily stick to it and it doesn't absorb water. According to what I've read, one of the great benefiys of HPT is that it leaves...

I can see how that would work for a CC, but do tell how that works for a WA or DC?

Hull preservation tape. That's a new one to me. I need to get some. Thanks Dennis!

Unless it is really hot or you leave the tape on for days, I wouldnt think too much goo will transfer to your structure. If it does, a little paint prep solvent will easily remove it. If it were me, I'd just protect the front flat areas with the foam or plastic and tape to the window frame -...

I've been driving for over 30 years and probably a million + miles. I have only cracked one windshield on a car. Stay away from dump trucks! I've towed 3 boats thousands of miles and no issues with them either. That said, for a quick solution, I would consider some closed cell packing foam...

I don't think the 282 was ever outfitted with 300s. However, the performance will likely be similar to a 285 if properly set up. You can see numbers for the 285 on the GW website. I'd guess 2-3 mph less on the top end and 0.1 - 0.2 less mpg at cruise. On another note, I'm a bit surprised GW...

Solas makes props for Suzuki. For some hulls they work well, for others, not so much. For conventional props, Mercury is tought to beat, regardless of engine make. I'm not positive, but I suspect the LFE3 is a Eco Enertia clone with more cup. Ken and only one other prop shop carry that prop. My...

Good to know engine height didn't hurt performance. I had wondered about that and have been reluctant to make the change. At the same mounting height as the Yamahas, the Suzuki props performed terribly. The ecos were much better and better yet when I changed the engine toe. Let us know if you...

I don't recall the exact details for break-in but I'm 100% certain you can and should run WOT during break in (for brief periods) with your df200. Ken uses manufacturers data and his experience with Zukes to determine pitch. Unless you are running the boat really heavy, I doubt you will need a...

I can't comment on the pitch, but Ken often gets it right or darn close. Is the prop the LFE3? I ask because I went from f150s to df200's and have some prop traction issues still. He advised the LFE3 to be a better alternative to the Mercury Eco Enertia on the 4 cylinder Zukes. Please report...

Boat began life on the Alabama coast in a dry stack with very little use. The 2nd owner mostly cleaned it in his garage and occasionally fished it. Coincidentally I did have to pull the sending unit to siphon a little water and fuel sludge off the bottom - ethanol is a heck of a solvent! Aside...

You all are making me wonder. Has anyone ever seen a tank that looked factory new on the top with a hole in the bottom? The PO of our boat had a lot of free time on his hands and was a clean freak. I'm confident he rinsed the tank yearly. The top side of my tanks are like new at 20 YO, but I...

Looks like covid did you a favor. Let me know the next time your cristal ball sees that kind of event in our near future! :)

I got COVID at Thanksgiving. I was not thankful. Additionally I can't smell a damn thing still. What should I do? On the flip side, public bathrooms seem so much more pleasant.

Chris, are those prices USD or Euros? If USD, that's a heck of a deal for twin 300 aps.

I don't know know where to find your exact seat. It might be out of production. Email Grady White and they can point you in the right direction. Any seat with your preferred dimensions can work. If the seats in your 2005 Journey are anything like our 2005 Islander, there are plenty of better...

It would seem most enclosures are now like yours. This is the 1st one Ive seen with the gasket. I suppose it might deflect some air, but I can't imagine it doing much more than that.

Finally got some photos, albeit not the best lighting. The view is much clearer than the flash might lead you to believe. I was also very happy it would go up without much of a fight in 45⁰ weather. All of my clear was replaced, 2 new front panels made, repairs where needed, and a helm cover...

When the weather warms up later in the week, I'll hang everything and provide photos. The canvas man talked me out of the semi-rigid material in the front. I ended up using 40 on the front and 30 everywhere else. I'm extremely happy with the results. He exceeded my expectations. I went from a...
