I figured I would fill up my tank before they found an excuse to raise it to 6 bucks a gallon. As usual, I have to sit there and hold it because the trigger will kick off if I use the lock. I usually just suck it up and blame the emissions bs. Anyhoo, tonight after trying the lock 3 or 4 times...

If a bottom paint job was well applied (initially) and the boat is turned into a trailered boat, are there any long-term boat/gelcoat "health" issues associated with the paint if never touched again? IOW, other than cosmetics, if trailered and never left in the water, would one ever have to...

Delete, nevermind.

A few months ago, I started noticing my drain plug trying to cross thread while inserting, and I noticed some odd erosion. I ordered a Groco piece (supposedly) off Amazon. Notice the back of the original one. It almost looked like brass plated copper. This thing was definitely going to be...

I have been doing this thing where I store my boat (19' 2320) with a wick hanging from the garboard drain and the other end in the bilge water. Keeps it BONE dry. Well, I noticed a weird erosion in my drain fitting, and the wicks last no time, so I ordered some pH paper, and HOLY SHIT. My...

I am doing some trailer work and just finished my son's rotors and pads. The rotors fit well under the jack stands, so I welded them on there. They add a nice stability without having to chase down a 2*12 or plywood. They slide easier too. You guys with a big shop and concrete floors...

For these guys: Coincidentally, they are for a (front) 1996 Kia Sephia, $19 from O'Reilly's. The caliper has a lot of open area once you see it, and is easy to flush. Would have waited and gotten stainless backing plates, but if I get 4 more years who cares? My 10 year warranty "Vault" hub...

Last weekend I upgraded my Lenco "Edge mount" trim tab blades as delivered from Parker. I went from 12*12s (which start at 12" wide and taper to 10") to 18*12s (which start at 18" wide and taper to 16"). The geometry of the tabs in relation to the actuator is identical. Same hardware...

Is it water on the top seeping down (impossible to distinguish from "bottom" originating water probably), corrosion from the inside from gas, ethanol, water etc., or lack of bonding ground? I have taken steps to protect the tank on my 2320 by minimizing water exposure. Just trying to figure...

I was going through my pulpit today, putting 5200 on the screws for everything, including the bow rail. Pulpit has lots of wood obviously, and there was sign of "some" sealant, but not a lot. NOT COUNTING the mounting points on the pulpit, does anyone know definitively if the bow rail bolts...

7000 pounds even on Load Rite 7300 pound (capacity, not gross) trailer, 1/2 tank of gas, maybe 75-100 pounds of extra stuff, and pretty much empty. No ice, water, drinks, rods, coolers etc. '19 with 4.2 liter. The scales said my truck weighs 8080 pounds...'19 F250 Diesel crew cab. That seems...

If you have coaming pads, make sure the screws used for the "hanging" brackets aren't too long. Mine were and I fortunately discovered it early. It works for me. The screws kind of help secure the buffer material. Everything important goes under there in a pilothouse. Good time for wasps...

I have been kicking around the idea of swapping boats, from my '19 2320 to a new 21 or 23SE. With my daughter in college or working and my son working nights full time for almost a year, I see many more trips alone or just my wife and I. The 2320 is a lot of boat to run to my local lake...

I have the deluxe captain's chair with Seaspension, but there are TONS of times it gets in the way. A member on here had an older seat base that they were willing to part with, and I mounted it to this: I had to add some plastic shimming material to get the tension right, but now I can easily...

There are many varied threads on individual ideas, but I thought it may be helpful to have a compilation thread. Let us limit this to simple(ish) and inexpensive(ish) ideas. Also, let us limit the questions to instant messaging so that readers don't have to view 20 unrelated posts for every...

Good morning. Like many of you fine folks, I have the Parker installed audio system. Does anyone happen to know if Fusion makes a plug and play 4 channel amp? Or has anyone sourced harnesses to go Connecting 500 more wires doesn't appeal to me, just trying to keep it relatively simple and...

This is the first article that has really gotten my attention: https://boattest.com/article/tow-boatusdetroit-buys-sharrow-props-6-boat-fleet From THT thread: https://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/1218156-sharrow-making-moves.html

I had a little rust on my anchor chain lanyard eyebolt. Upon closer examination, it had no sealant of any kind, and it was going through wood. While I was at it, I have had a curiosity about the transom and pulled the plastic trim piece off the transom step-through. The cap and transom are...

I took the boat (2320) for a shakedown of a new piece of electronics and the pumps on a local lake the other day. I was solo. Over the course of the next few hours the wind kicked up. You all know that the cabin catches wind much more than the cockpit end and the boat really swings. The dock...

I have 2 NSS9 evo 3s (not 3S). What cables and available ports do I need available on the machines to add a Halo 20+ radar? Thanks in advance! I am going to get an evo3 12" before they are all gone and might do a "bundle" if the savings is worth it. This is going on the roof of a 2320.
