    Bilge pump problem

    Jeffnick, quess I owe you my $75. Butt connector at the aft grounding bus was pulled out. Looks like the wire was cut short and did not crimp properly. It was making contact, I'm assuming, but not crimped as it has worked for the last 4 years. I'm thinking that when I changed out the battery I...

    Bilge pump problem

    Double checked that one, is wired to the batt still dosnt work. thanks for the response Bryan. I went so far as to take the pump and float switch out and wired them directly to a 12V source to check tat both function and they do. I'm thinking a bad ground somewhere but sure cant find it. It...

    Bilge pump problem

    My bilge pump stopped working on my 2120 PH. When I flip either the panel switch or the float switch a red light comes on the panel and a little horn sounds at the helm but no pump. Not sure if the horn noise is there by design or something is about to blow up. I've checked the pump, float...

    Repairing chips in gelcoat

    Found a 1" by 2" impact chip in the bow just under the waterline that put me into a panic last season as I have never worked with gelcoat or fiberglass. Followed the procedures you outlined and found it to be a very simple fix. Almost hard to mess it up, just take your time on the prep. Only...

    3' Open Array Radar Install Roof or on Strut?

    Looks good where it is to me. Actually the higher the better but with the radar horizon being what it is another two or three feet isnt going to make much differance operationally.

    I have the same set up. I carry 300' of rode with 25' of chain without a problem.

    Gelcoat repair

    Thanks, guys, for the response and notes of encouragement. Started sanding on it with the dremal to clean it up and get it preped and actually feeling more comfortable about it. Need to plug Robin and Eric at Parker at this point. Bought my boat new in '06 and have only had a couple of minor...

    Gelcoat repair

    Sorry guys, thought I had a handle on posting pictures but apparantly not. Not a good opening sign for this project, maybe this calls for an invitation to Mr. Jim Bean first instead of Tranquilizers. What I am looking at is a chunk of gelcoat out of the peak of the keel on my 2120. Its right at...

    Gelcoat repair

    Almost cried when I found this, 1st big blemish on my three year-old baby. I've read over several of the post on this type of repair and I think I might have a handle on it. Just want to lay out my steps to see if the experts here agree with me. Never done anything like this so I think the...

    @!!*&&! Banged my head again!

    Know the feeling, 6'2" here also. Ive got into the habit of putting my hand on the top as I go in. Might check the old posts also. There was a guy on the forum that used foam pipe insulators to pad the top.

    AIS Systems

    AIS and radar are apples and oranges. As Hugs Tug mentioned AIS serves as a transponder that identifies a target on a radar but does not serve as radar. And, as far as I know, AIS is only required on commercial vessals Ive operated AIS off the So Cal coast and the only targets I've ever picked...

    Does anyone know the OD of the West Coast Bow rails?

    Know what your talking about now. Didnt know what they were called. I did see a guy at the harbor this past weekend with something similar mounted on the West Coast rails. I spoke to him about the CP web site so he might answer up.

    Does anyone know the OD of the West Coast Bow rails?

    Not sure what you mean by "anchor mount clamps" but the West Coast bow rails on my 2120 are 2", one of the nicer features on the boat, sure like those things.

    2120 Performance with F150

    "06 2120 SC w/ the 150 4 stroke in So Cal. My fuel numbers are very close to Yamaha's performance bullitens for that boat. I seldom get the throttle up too much past 60% and she'll run around 22 MPH at around 4500 rpms which is, for me anyway, right at the comfort level. In these waters the boat...
