My retirement day is July 2 and I make my final move to IOP on July 3. 30+ years as an Army civilian seems to have flown by...but now I fish! I need to add a baitwell. Not a problem. There are basically two different types: 1) The kind thet hooks up to my through hull and maintains by...

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

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...

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...

I need four new trailer tires. Has anyone researched the best value, brand, least dry rot prone, etc?

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?

So I am moving to Charleston, SC next June after I retire from the Government. We already have a house, bought in 2011 on IOP. I need to put my boat away now in order to get my house here ready to go on the market next April. I plan on towing her down over Christmas. She will be sitting in...

I did my water pump (Full Kit from SIM) and went to do the tstat and saw that he only shipped one. I haven't ever replaced them but they are (is?) included in SIMs full kit. Why didn't he send both. I would love a discussion here before I call them. There are 2 right?

This is how much we've paid per month over the last 4 years: May 2010 - Apr 2011 = 36.59 May 2011 - Apr 2012 = 39.24 May 2012 - Apr 2013 = 42.57 May 2013 - Apr 2014 = 46.57 and now it's going up to: May 2014 - Apr 2015 = 51.15 which is $174.72 more a year I am curious as to who all has what...

Given today's state of modern communications, new motors, etc., are twins really a requirement for offshore? Talking generally the south east 10 to 30 miles max to offshore artificial reefs with. As y'all may know I am trying to gear up for my retirement to Charleston next year and while I...

Inshore and offshore to, lets say artifical reefs, not Chesapeake Bay conditions but Coastal NC/SC/GA. I'd like to compare and contrast DV -vs- MV especially 2500SE/2501CC and 2801CC. I love my 2320DVSC and can run the bay pretty fast and safe in very choppy/rough conditions but what I really...

Anything special I need to know about mounting a seat pedestal (like pictured) to the deck? Obviously like not hitting the fuel tank; etc. :lol: Also what sealant should I use? I was thinking 5200... John

Well soon. Like 4 - 5 years. We are going down next weekend to hopefully buy a house on Isle of Palms. Prices are down, I am pre-approved at 4%, so why not? That way we can go when we want during the year, etc. I haven't figured out the boat logistics, yet.

Just as I got the Puddleduck running smoothly, I lost fluid from the starboard power trim piston. It is leaking from the base of the piston so I ordered the (79) 69J-43820-00-00 TRIM PISTON SUB ASSY along with a 61A-43861-00-00 O-RING, 6T4-43875-00-00 RING SNAP, and a 61A-43822-00-00 SEAL, TRIM...

Like a lot of folks, I too have run afoul of the "shuts down at high rpms gremlin." Now will idle for a while then the bulb gets soft and then she shuts down I must pump up the bulb. Here's what I have done. Because I needed to check and clean the vst anyway I started with the VST. Very...

When I made my new bench seat I didn't know what I wanted to do with the storage so I just threw some hatches on. I have decided on these tackle storage hatches from Deep Blue Marine. The new boxes:

My 2003 2320DVSC notch back blue filter is in the bilge. Under the motor inside one of the little round access hatches. Is there any reason I can't move it up inside the starboard aft hatch?

I have a Gray Scale Lowrance GPS/FF that I only use for map/GPS and a Lowrance FF. It works really great but I have never gotten full fish arches like as shown on the display. What I do get, like behind a big bait ball, are half arches like a back-slash mark. Anyone have any tutalage they...

How is it this year or rather right now? I see the New Englanders ar doing quite well...

Last night I installed a Cobra Edge Stabilizer on my F225 2320DVSC. After lengthly study and after remembering what dramatic improvements it gave to my Bass Boat I said well duh. I can't wait to see how it performs. The boat is great on plane but getting there is always a battle. I'll report...
