Hello. Has anyone sourced the rubber tophat grommets used for the full height windshields screws? I have a 2017 257 Fisherman CC, but surmise other CC models use the same. Thank you.

Call GW Customer Service. With a newer boat like yours you stand a chance of finding them.

I don’t know about you, but I have failed miserably trying to get someone to either answer the phone or return a call. Customer service, or tech help. Really disappointed. Have you had trouble? Thanks for any help

Fuel will burn not explode. Throw a match in a container of fuel and it will burn - not explode. Throw that match in a partially full fuel tank and - kaboom!

I handle raw fuel for my filters. I have changed sending units, pumped water out of bottom, pulled tanks, etc. Never comfortable working on the tanks. You never know where the safety line until you cross it. A friend of mine blew himself working under the shrink wrap on winter. Didn’t smell the fuel due to COVID. Changing a bilge pump. Airlifted to burn center. Fortunately he lived to tell about it. Hatches blown off. Thousands in damages. $10 of dry ice is cheap for piece of mind!
