I've seen plenty of spider cracks longer than that. Over time they tend to travel and travel. Is the starting point a screw hole? Another possible cause is the original build and spraying the gel to be too thick in that area. This is more likely to happen to an outside corner than an...

Anything over the top will just be a bandaid... and like all bandaids, they eventually come off. For now, until you're ready to grind it out and fill, find the end of all of the spider cracks and drill a 1/8" hole just barely through the gel into the glass underneath. That will keep them from...

Ummm... I just looked at the picture even closer. I suggested the wrong anchor because I only saw a bolt for one roller. But looking closer, it appears there is a hole where a second (lower/first) roller should be. Do you NOT have a roller there? You can see this better than us.

It kind of looks like that's a roller meant for a fluke anchor? But, as mentioned above - if it works it works. And, yes, don't forget the safety chain... unless you like the option of the anchor ending up in your prop.... or acting as a, well, an anchor on the highway!

Oh, sure - agree. Essentially, that would be a flaky connection that is making/breaking. Probably "not" on a 5-year old boat... but who knows! It'll help when the OP describes things better or posts a pic.

Good point - even though I read the post, for some reason, in my mind, I thought he meant a spark at the battery terminal. Yes, agree, a spark at already made connection is not normal. However, it would be "more likely" that there was some kind of miscommunication between the mechanic and OP...

"Is memory wire needed"... some of these newer stereos and MFD's now use a "standby" always hot wire. This is to lessen the time it takes to boot them up... because people are impatient, anymore :p :eek:

It's amazing how, likely, less than an ounce of gas/additive can spread out! Side note... consider adding a fuel vent whistle. You'll never spill again. And anytime you fill up, people will stare at your boat with a confused look on their face :)

As far as the actual operation of the engines, there's no question that digital/electronic controls are superior. Soooo much nicer. Cost aside, the downside is that there are more electronics to fail for various reasons. Generally, they are (and have been) quite reliable - but there is that...

When something sparks when power is connected, it simply means it's a "live" circuit - that's not a good or a bad thing... just a "thing". We'll need more info or pictures and/or wiring of whatever breaker this is you're talking about. Is this a Fusion stereo? I've read recently about some of...

It's hard to follow what you're saying... can you better describe things -- or post pictures? Is the battery healthy? Have you charged it and load tested it? That's the first step. You could also do an amp draw test - depending on results, then figure out what is drawing excess power.

50/50 - based on that comment, it sounds like that's a possibility. Siphon some out from the bottom of the tank after it's been sitting still for a few hours. Brakleen is easy. Still check the vent system - even low spots in the vent line could cause a plug. Opening the fill deck plate vents...

ASV's can be cleaned, in most cases. Have you checked your vent system on the main tank? How's the fuel quality in the main tank? What happens if you switch the lines on your fuel selector valve?

If you're doing this INSTEAD of eisinglas, that's exactly what you'd do - have panels made to slide in - but instead of clear vinyl, use a sun blocking material. Whoever you choose to make the panels will know what to do. If you have eisnglas, but don't ever use it - then either attach with...

Try cleaning it to see it better. You can see it better in person - what does it say and what colors? Is anything not working? May be a non used set of wires

Pro Mariner is generally a good company with good products and support. I've had multiple PM's over the years... going back 25+ years. Add in friends/customers PM's... and that's a LOT of PM chargers. I'd give them a call. If you're near your GW dealer, they might be able to do it for you...

A claw (a brand name is Bruce) is sometimes grouped under the plow type but they're so different that that grouping is just wrong. A plow is named such because it looks like, well, a plow and behaves as such. A claw works differently The two types dig-in in different ways. I think if we...

Delta is a brand of plow anchor. So, yes, generally a plow style is the easiest choice. But that's not to say other styles won't work - it all depends on the roller setup and the proximity to the bow keel. 14lbs is MORE than enough for a small boat. Especially if you have chain. But even...

The boat is just a thing that keeps you above the waterline. It's the thing between one's ears that catches the fish. GO LUCKY! :) :) :) Hmmmm... that saying doesn't bode well for me... I'm not so good at catching 'em...... :rolleyes:

Adding onto that... Because bronze is a soft metal it seals very well on it's own without any tape/goop/etc - not that it's bad to use those things - I've just never found the need for it on dozens of my own boats/family boats over the years. Nor for hundreds of customers boats. That comment...
