    Most USEFUL Trailer Accessory? Including Homemade!

    Re: Most USEFUL Trailer Accessory? Including Homemade! We get deep enough that we only have a little bit of cranking left (boat's way too heavy for me to crank on). Still, I think if I had a Snapper I could coast in and get the latch to engage. I hate watching older folks loading their similar...

    Raising the floor of the transom shower

    Re: Raising the floor of the transom shower Well, once again a picture is worth a thousand words (and my memory betrayed me :facepalm: ). So, obviously it's not that bad. I just need a small pour which raise the lowest point so water doesn't sit in the bottom. I'll probably replace that...

    Raising the floor of the transom shower

    The transom shower is stored in a fiberglass bin and it doesn't drain well. The drain (on the side) is about 1/4-1/2" above the floor and the bin gets dirty because of it. So I would like to fill the floor and make the throughull the lowest point. I need a suggestion on what to pour. Should...

    Towing with MDX

    Re: Towing with MDX What about the transmission cooler? An oversized cooler never hurt anyone and your transmission is going to generate lots of heat. I don't think you have to abandon SUV's, just get a bigger one. For example, the Armada is rated for 9,100 lbs. If you want a truck, get a...

    Trailering 27 footers anyone?

    Re: Trailering 27 footers anyone? I'd go bigger if possible. I've been on 24' EC and they're too small for us. Have you actually put every member of your family, the seller and yourself in the cockpit at the same time? Remember, kids will switch seats and you'll have "stuff" out which will...

    Air-Dryr 1000 How does it work?

    Do folks with cabins leave a door open a crack to allow circulation? Or, are there enough "holes" in the boat to allow circulation? Thanks

    Draining the engine in Florida

    Re: Draining the engine in Florida Well that sucked. Not terrible though. Thanks for all the advice everyone; I had a few hours and decided to give it a shot since it's going to be close to freezing :( I did have a couple of questions. I think I found the port and starboard block drains but...

    Fuel Vent - Attwood Flush-Mount 66032

    I need to replace my fuel vent (might as well replace all the vents at the same time) and was looking at the Attwood 66032 on another boat. Flush mount seems much nicer than the Perko I was considering. Anyone have a recommendation? Thanks

    Draining the engine in Florida

    I joined a thread in "Boats" on this topic but thought this might be a better place. I don't want to "winterize" because we'll probably use the boat at least once a month. I do want to know how to drain the block for those occasional "cold" nights we have. I found this in the manual: This...

    Winterization In Florida........Yes or No?

    Re: Winterization In Florida........Yes or No? I also talked to some boat owners this morning and they don't winterize/drain so I'm torn. I found this in the manual. This seems like such a PITA, not just pulling a plug and draining the block. Is this what folks are talking about? Maybe I'm...

    How to fix metal screw holes

    My bimini has loosened up the screw holes on the metal wind shield frame. I know I can use fatter screws but what's a long term fix? Will JB Weld stand up to the wear and tear? Thanks

    Re: H o m e ! Re: H o m e ! :( So I broke a window :( This is a cell phone picture that threw the colors off a bit. The middle tab (there are three/window) broke off. The entire piece is made of plastic and I still have the tabs so I suppose I could try gluing them back on. If that doesn't...

    Gelcoat repair advice please

    New to me Monterey with some dings. Structurally they're sound, nothing flaking or breaking and the hull is dry as a bone. Both are below the waterline. Here's the first. And, the second. This one has some cracking nearby that you can see in the picture. Should I sand those off, making...
