With the seacock open, is the baitwell supposed to flood even without the pump on while the boat is in motion :roll:

Switching from a 3 blade 17 to 4 blade powertech 17 pitch. Have a Cobra plate on there now and has served me well. Question is, does anyone run a four blade with the plate or do you think I will get enough stern lift and can eliminate it. I'd rather take it off while the boat is still out of the...

Was forced to load the boat during a bad cross wind last week and misjudged the trailer hitting it off center and leaving a foot long pretty deep gash through the gel coat. I'm not concerned that it's deep enough to cause water intrusion, but what should I use to fill it? Marine Tex, Epoxy with...

I have Raymarine equipment. Do other manufacturers radar systems have difficulty picking up "no wake" plastic barrels and channel markers that do not have reflective materials on them. Thanks.

Has anyone used one of those heavy zinc weighted lines which have a cable connecting a battery cable connector at one end and a fish shaped zinc at the other at their slip. Supposedly it helps with stray voltage at marinas? Also, how is it used, can the zinc rest on the bottom in the mud, or...

What's good to clean and keep the rubber seals pliable on the deck access hatches and O-rings. :roll:

I remember seeing a post somewhere that you can secure your anchor chain to the front hole of the anchor, then run it along the shaft and secure the rear of the anchor to the chain using zip ties as a safety measure in case the anchor gets stuck on retreival. The rear ties are supposed to break...

I've never done it for fear it would hurt the protective properties of the paint, but could a small amount of thinner be added to the paint without sacrificing quality on those hot days when paint gets thick fast? :?:

Always manage to get it done somehow, but would like to hear personal strategies accomplishing this task. Jack it up completely off the trailer, the up and back method or others. I know many are just going to say "let the marina do it" , but I store at home and am a glutten for punishment...

Can two lengths of rode be spliced together and still properly function being retrieved through the windlass gypsy? :roll:

Who is the manufacturer who makes the switch panels for Parker? Is it Paneltronics and is most of that stuff a standard fit such as breakers switches etc.?? Thanks. :)

Has anyone ever used this brand propeller? Solas? , or are all propeller manufacturer created about equal. It's a SS prop I am talking about... :roll:

Put two strings of these in the boat last year. One down each side connected to the existing wiring which was attached to the under gunnel courtesy lights. The lights work fine, but after about ten minutes they go off and I must reset the breaker. I just checked now on E Bay where I buought them...

Are the Parker Hulls specifically in the aft bilge suitable for mounting "in hull" transducers such as the Airmar M260? Do I have to worry about spacing in the hull design etc. Any help here is appreciated. I'm attaching a basic picture of what area I was thinking of. Thanks in advance.

This 14 1/4 x 17 was on my boat last year for about 3 weeks during a period of testing on my boat. It did provide a good hole shot, easily achieved the 6000 RPM level for the engine however my 25se is pretty heavy and carries quite a load and on daily basis and I just felt the original 15 1/4 x...

Opening a new post. Wouldn't allow all pictures to be uploaded. 2KW Raymarine radome along with LED all around nav light was also installed end of last year. Not visible with shrink wrapping.

Here's a few winter projects done during the off season layup. Most untested until spring 07 launch. Bow roller with windlass, replace original 1500 GPH bilge pump with dual 2000 GPH pumps. (add additional thru hull to accomodate additional pump), LED navigational lights, GUEST battery...

Has anyone installed or thought about adding an additional deck cleat towards the aft of their boat? It seems at times, especially when pulling into a fueling dock that an additonal top mounted cleat would be better than having to deal with the Hawse Pipe towards the aft... In doing so, what...

I have a 25SE. The way these Parkers are wired, if you always run on "battery 1" , are you still charging both batteries? I have been told by some that you are. Is this true? Thanks in advance... :?:

Hey, the names Brian B. nickname "Buddah" I should be in the water in about 2 weeks. The boats in for service over at Schrader's in Point. Great site! I don't hang out at Tices all that much cause I have a house near the beach, but I go occasionally for the party. I mix it up, some...
