    Recommended bilge pump replacements

    Ordered Johnson 2200 GPH pumps with their fancy switches. Bottom is getting painted right now, and I have to replace my main transducer as it got busted up while towing down here. Rock, I guess. Thanks for the help John

    Adding a baitwell. Question from a different perspective

    I hear you, Kevin. I grew up in Charleston and Hampton (Navy Brat) and I can't wait to get back to in shore, etc! Now Bubbler or Flow Through?

    Recommended bilge pump replacements

    Good point, Steve. It was in that marina in Deale, MD, but it has been trailered for the last few years. I am retiring to SC at the end of June. I put the boat in a marina down there last month. The marina is only 1/4 mile or so from my house. John

    Recommended bilge pump replacements

    I guess I didn't mean "automatic" they are OEM so what I should have said it the rear float failed and I have to manually switch the BP on to drain the rain water. Water Witch says something about rainwater not able to be sensed? I am pretty sure that I will go with Rule 2000 in the stern and...

    Recommended bilge pump replacements

    The "Automatic" part of my bilge pumps stopped working.(Factory Front and Factory rear 2003 2320DVSC) What pumps do y'all suggest as replacements? I could just repair the floats, I guess. but they are 12 years old so why not go new? I was thinking Rule 500s. Yes? No? Not big enough? John

    Trailer Issue/Mishap Bleeding Trailer Hydraulic Brakes

    Took my boat to Charleston last weekend (I move on July 3) to put it in the marina. Sometime on the trip something unseen on the road, I guess, snagged the brake line and snapped it from the left wheel. It was an overnight trip so I really didn't have time to inspect it fully. Hopefully I can...

    ProTips: Fuel Lines, Trailer tires/wheels

    Free advice. I have had new trailer tires mounted and balanced. Jacked the boat, put on stands, and the battle began. I think everyone should add remove lug nuts, put anti sieze compound on them and replace with proper torque annually. Not really a rust issue they just have never been...

    Need New Trailer Tires

    Actually just less than 6,000# with 100 gallons of fuel still want LRE in the 15 inch. IIRC the trailer Ron put me in is a #7,500 pounder.

    Trawling

    Kevin, You do but its not very expensive. The trawl I would use would be 12-16 foot wide and the "otter" boards are pretty small. John

    Trawling

    Has anybody ever pulled a trawl net with their Parker? I am thinking about pulling a trawl for next years shrimping season down south. Looks like work and fun put together. Would you tie the lines through the hawsepipe, tow cleats, or top of pilot house cleats?
